Penalties Included in the Knockout Stages

A real Battle of the Giants. MikeW vs DocBez 🙂 Where is ImaginaNaCopa ?!

For the Knockout Stages, there will be draws which force the dreaded Penalty Shoot Outs.

At the knockout stage if a user predicts a win e.g. 3-2 they get either the exact points if the result is 3-2 or the win points if the result is 1-0

Penalties are included in either of the above, so if a user predicts 1(5)-1(4), and result is 1(5)-1(4) then exact points, if the result is 2(5)-2(4) it’s a correctly predicted win, however if the result is 1(4)-1(5) they get points for the goal draw. It’s a reward for getting it ‘half-right’.

The bonus points for correct goals and goal difference ignore penalties.

There is nothing for extra time or golden goals as such.
