How points work
Every stage is worth the same maximum (64 pts), so group-stage accuracy matters as much as calling the final.
+2 per team you correctly send to the Round of 32 (32 teams) +1 bonus per exact group finishing position (48 positions) +4 per team correctly reaching the Round of 16 +8 per team correctly reaching the Quarterfinals +16 per team correctly reaching the Semifinals +32 per team correctly reaching the Final +64 for the correct World Champion
Maximum possible: 432. Teams score by reaching a stage — your route there doesn't have to match exactly.
