The basics
- Entry fee is €10. Every cent goes into the prize pot — nobody takes a cut.
- Submit your entry before the deadline. Entries lock the moment the first match kicks off.
- Predict every group, rank the 12 third-placed teams, then predict every knockout score from the Round of 32 to the Final.
- No draws in knockout predictions. For a penalty win, record it as a 1-goal win (e.g. 2–1).
- The third-place match is not included in the competition.

Important Rules
No draws are allowed in knockout predictions.
A penalty shootout win counts as a 1-goal win in the score.
Scores are applied to the fixture position, not the team — so if teams are listed home/away, your score prediction applies in that order.
The third-place play-off match is not included in the competition.
