Scoring System Explained for the Knockout Stage of the Club World Cup
As the much-anticipated knockout stage of the Club World Cup approaches, fans are eager to engage with the guessing game that has captivated thousands. Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of how the scoring system will work, including what happens in the event of extra time.
How the Guessing Game Works
In this exciting guessing game, participants will predict the outcomes of the Club World Cup matches, competing against their friends. Alongside selecting the winning team and match outcomes, players can gain significant points by choosing the tournament’s top scorer.
Scoring in the Group Stage
- Goals Scored: Each player selected will earn 2 points for every goal scored during the group stage. Additionally, if your chosen player finishes as the tournament’s top scorer, you will receive an extra 20 points, potentially altering your standing in the game.
Scores in the Knockout Stage
- Winning Prediction: If you successfully predict the winning team or a draw without guessing the exact score, your initial score will be doubled, but no bonus points will be awarded.
- Exact Score Prediction: For precise predictions of the match score, your points will be doubled, and you will also receive 6 bonus points.
What Happens in Case of Extra Time?
The predictions you make for the knockout matches are only valid for the score at the end of regular time (90 minutes). Should the match go into extra time, the outcome of that extended play will not count towards your prediction. However, if you have chosen a top scorer who nets a goal during extra time, you will still receive the corresponding bonus points.
Additional Bonuses for Winning Teams and Top Scorers
Winning Team
If the team you predicted to win the tournament ultimately takes home the title, you will receive a victory bonus. This bonus will correspond to the prize mstarty allotted to that team at the start of the tournament. Note that different teams may have varying amounts based on their initial odds of winning.
