Back Pitch Development
· Group stage: pick a team to win each matchday — 3 points per correct pick, no elimination
· Knockout: one pick per round — wrong pick = eliminated. Picks can be changed up until the round starts
· Each team can only be used once across the full competition — group picks and knockout picks share the same pool
· If all teams in a knockout round have been used, your picks reset for that round
· Miss a knockout round without picking and you are eliminated
· Golden Boot and Golden Glove bonuses accumulate throughout the tournament
· Tiebreaker: at the Round of 32, predict the total goals scored across all 104 matches
If one player is left standing, they win outright. If multiple players survive:
1. Highest total points wins
2. If tied: closest goals prediction (entered at R32)
3. If still tied: most goals scored by Golden Boot pick
4. If still tied: most clean sheets by Golden Glove pick
Each club reserves the right to have final say on how the winner is determined, which may not align with standard Entrypoint scoring.
