How the pool scoring works
On Bolify, every prediction earns a single score — never cumulative. You get the best matching category. The more detail you nail, the more points you earn.
Full point table
| Code | Result | Points |
|---|---|---|
| EX | Exact Score You nailed the final score (e.g., USA 2-1 Brazil). | 25 |
| WG | Winner + Winner Goals Correct winner and exact goals scored by the winning team. | 18 |
| WM | Winner + Margin Correct winner and goal difference. | 15 |
| DR | Correct Draw You predicted a draw (any score). | 15 |
| LG | Winner + Loser Goals Correct winner and exact goals scored by the loser. | 12 |
| WO | Correct Winner You only got the winner right. | 7 |
| NO | Wrong Neither winner nor draw correct. | 0 |
Practical example
Match: USA 3-1 Brazil.
Your pick was 2-1. Correct winner + margin → 15 points.
Your pick was 3-1. Exact score → 25 points.
Your pick was 1-0. Only the winner → 7 points.
FAQ
Are points cumulative? Does exact score also award winner points?+
No. Points are not cumulative — you earn the highest applicable category. Exact score = 25 (already includes correct winner).
Can the admin customize scoring?+
No. Scoring is standardized across every Bolify pool — exact score 25 pts, correct winner 10 pts, other categories derived. This keeps leaderboards comparable across pools and prevents organizers from tweaking rules to favor anyone.
How do knockout-stage points work?+
Same logic as the group stage. Each prediction earns a single score (EX, WG, WM, DR, LG, WO or NO) — there is no stage multiplier. Knockout only ramps up the tension, not the math.
What about champion / runner-up bonus?+
If the admin enabled Champion Mode, each player picks top 3 BEFORE the World Cup starts. Bonus: 50/30/20 for exact positions + 10 for a correct team in wrong position.
