World Cup 2026 Prediction Game

Objective

Predict the outcomes of 35 World Cup-related events and earn points throughout the tournament.

Each question has a list of possible answers, with each answer assigned a points value before the tournament begins.

• More likely outcomes are worth fewer points.

• Less likely outcomes are worth more points.

• Correct predictions earn the points allocated to that answer.

• Incorrect predictions earn 0 points.

• The maximum points are capped at 250 points on each answer to ensure that one correct answer doesn’t win the whole competition.

The player with the highest total score at the end of the tournament wins.

How to Play

1. Before the tournament starts, each player must submit one answer for every question. This means the deadline is 20:00 BST on 11/06/26

2. Once submitted, predictions cannot be changed after 20:00 BST on 11/06/26

3. Players must answer all 35 questions.

4. If a question becomes impossible to score due to unforeseen circumstances, the organiser reserves the right to void that question for all players.

Scoring Principles

Points are allocated before the tournament based on perceived probability:

• Favourites = lower points.

• Outsiders = higher points.

• Extremely unlikely outcomes = highest points.

This means players can either:

• Play safely by selecting favourites and steadily accumulating points, or

• Take risks on outsiders in pursuit of a much higher score.

Both strategies have a chance of winning.

Spirit of the Game

The organiser’s decision on any disputes is final.
