Before each Matchday deadline, the first kick-off time of that Matchday group, you submit your predicted scorelines for every fixture in that group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the matches finish, your predictions are scored. The more accurate you are, the more points you earn. Your points count towards both a Matchday-specific leaderboard and an Overall leaderboard that builds throughout the tournament. Finish in the top positions and you win a share of that Matchday's cash prize pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That's the whole game. The depth lives in the scoring system, the multipliers, and the strategic decisions you make when picking your predictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-scoring-system\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Scoring System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not all correct predictions are equal. The closer you get to the exact result, the more points you earn:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Prediction Result<\/th><th>Points<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>\u2705 <strong>Exact Correct Score<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>5 Points<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\ud83d\udfe1 Correct winning team + correct goals for winning team<\/td><td><strong>3 Points<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\ud83d\udd35 Correct match outcome only<\/td><td><strong>1 Point<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u274c Incorrect prediction<\/td><td>0 Points<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-scoring-examples\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scoring Examples<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Your Prediction<\/th><th>Actual Result<\/th><th>Points<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Scotland 2-0 Haiti<\/td><td>Scotland 4-0 Haiti<\/td><td>1 Point (correct outcome)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scotland 4-1 Haiti<\/td><td>Scotland 4-0 Haiti<\/td><td>3 Points (correct winner + correct winning team score)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scotland 1-1 Haiti<\/td><td>Scotland 2-2 Haiti<\/td><td>1 Point (correct outcome)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Scotland 2-1 Haiti<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Scotland 2-1 Haiti<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>5 Points (exact!)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting the exact correct score right is the highest-skill, highest-reward action in the game. Over 8 Matchdays and a full World Cup, the players who nail their exact scores on the right fixtures will separate themselves from the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-match-multipliers-supercharge-your-score\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Match Multipliers: Supercharge Your Score<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some fixtures carry more weight than others, and in World Cup 26 Showdown, that's reflected in the point multipliers applied to selected matches each Matchday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>\ud83e\udd47 Gold Match<\/th><th><strong>4x Multiplier<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>\ud83e\udd48 Silver Match<\/td><td><strong>3x Multiplier<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\ud83e\udd49 Bronze Match<\/td><td><strong>2x Multiplier<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The maths:<\/strong> An exact correct score (5 points) on a Gold Match = <strong>20 points<\/strong>. A correct outcome call (1 point) on a Bronze Match = <strong>2 points<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multiplier matches are the moments where the leaderboard can swing dramatically. Reading the fixture list, identifying which games are Gold or Silver, and allocating your boldest predictions to those matches is the core strategic challenge of World Cup 26 Showdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-leaderboards\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Leaderboards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-matchday-leaderboards\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Matchday Leaderboards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each of the 8 Matchdays has its own standalone leaderboard. Your points from that Matchday's fixtures count towards this leaderboard, and only this leaderboard. A fresh start every Matchday means there's always a new chance to win, regardless of how you did before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-overall-leaderboard\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall Leaderboard<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every point you score across any Matchday also feeds your Overall leaderboard position. Your Overall score accumulates throughout the tournament, the players who consistently predict well across the whole World Cup will compete for the $26,000 Overall prize pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Missed an earlier Matchday?<\/strong> No problem.
