Penalty for minute-predictions

When members are on an equal amount of points, the penalty for the minute-predictions is taken into account. This penalty doesn't influence the points you've earned, it only influences your position in the ranking if you and some other member(s) have an equal amount of points.
For each minute that you're off, you receive a penalty point. You need to predict the minute of the first yellow card and first red card given in the tournament, as well as the minute the first goal of the tournament will be scored.
The penalties for these predictions are added up, and for members with an equal amount points, the one with the smallest total penalty amount will be ranked highest.

Event Prediction Actual Penalty
Yellow card 30th minute 56th minute 56-30 = 26
Red card 700th minute 403rd minute 700-403 = 297
1st goal 56th minute 68th minute 68-56 = 12
Total penalty 335

If you don't predict anything here, you will receive the maximum penalty for each missing prediction, which is 10,000 points. To determine the number of minutes your prediction is off, we consider each half of a match takes 45 minutes. In case the first card is given or the first goal is scored in added time, the last minute of that half (either 45th or 90th minute) will be used.

  • The final score is the score after 90 minutes (including added time). The extra time is not taken into account.

  • Finished matches that get assigned a regulatory final score afterwards: points awarded based on the original score.
  • Suspended matches that will be finished at a later moment: points awarded (in the week the match has actually been finished).
  • An own goal is also counted as a first goal. This can also be predicted. If you think a team doesn't score, you have to fill in 'No score'. If you don't select a player, it means you won't receive any points!
