Rules

How TipsHQ works
⚽ Before the tournament
  • Predict the exact score of every group-stage match (all 72 games)
  • Your knockout bracket builds itself from your group predictions — pick the winner of each R32, R16, QF, SF and Final
  • Nominate the team you think will lift the trophy
🔒 Once Match 1 kicks off
  • All tips lock — no edits while the group stage is being played
  • Your bracket updates in the background as the real group results come in
🔄 Between groups and knockouts — your change window
  • A short window opens after the last group game finishes
  • You get 5 changes to use however you like — update any knockout pick (R32 through to the Final) or swap your tournament winner
  • The window closes the moment Round of 32 kicks off; everything is locked from then on
🏆 How points are scored

Based on the actual outcome of every game.

Exact group score 5 pts
Correct group result (right winner, wrong score) 2 pts
Each correct knockout winner 3 pts
Tournament champion 25 pts
Ties are broken by exact scores, then correct results.
💡 Good to know
  • Picks are team-based, not slot-based — you're backing a specific team. If they don't make it to the match, that pick scores 0
  • The change window is your chance to update picks once you see how the groups actually finished
  • The full match result and your pick are shown side-by-side after every game, so you can see exactly how each prediction landed
  • If players tie on points, most exact scores wins — then most results.
