How scoring works
Points per match
Every match pick can earn points from four components. They stack — a perfect pick scores up to 21, a 5★ miss costs 6.
Winner
±★Pick the winning team. Rewards ramp up steeply with Confidence so you can climb back out of negative ground. Get it wrong and a penalty applies from 2★ upward — 1★ is the safe "no idea" pick. A tie scores 0.
- 1★+20
- 2★+4−1
- 3★+6−2
- 4★+8−4
- 5★+12−6
Example: Confidence 4, winner correct → +8. Same pick wrong → −4.
Margin of victory
+2Match the winning margin bucket: 1–6, 7–13, 14–20, or 21+. Flat +2 if it lands in your bucket.
Example: Final margin 11 → bucket 7–13 hits → +2 points.
Exact final score
+5Optional. If both team scores match the final result exactly, +5 — on top of everything else.
Example: Picked 24–17, final is 24–17 → +5 points.
Off / Def coin
+2Pick Offense or Defense. Offense hits if the winner scores ≥ 32. Defense hits if the loser stays under 17. Flat +2 either way.
Example: Final 26–16 → only Defense fires (loser < 17, winner < 32). Defense pickers: +2. Offense pickers: 0.
Per match
+21 / −6 pts
Best case: 5★ winner (12) + MoV (2) + exact score (5) + off/def (2) = +21. Worst case: 5★ winner wrong = −6.
