Scoring is the heart of a prediction pool: it rewards accuracy without punishing bad luck. Here's the one that works.
Exact score — 5 points
You predict 2-1 and it ends 2-1? Maximum. This is what separates two close players.
Right outcome — 4 / 3 / 2 points
Wrong score but right winner (or draw). The closer your margin to the real one, the more you score: 4 if very close, then 3, then 2.
Wrong outcome — 0 points
Wrong winner, zero. Clean and unambiguous.
Tie-breaks
Level on points? Break it by number of exact scores, then head-to-head. Transparent and auditable.
