Scoring

How the result works

Correct picks score their confidence value. Incorrect picks score 0.

Example: A player puts 5 confidence points on a win and is correct, so they score 5.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Using the same confidence value twice. Check every sheet before kickoff.

Safety: Use short rounds, visible scoring, clear turns, and the tie rule everyone agreed on.
