2.PREDICTION CONTESTS

2.1 Prediction contest types
 

Tifogame uses two types of predictions:

• Prediction of the match result: home win, draw, away win
• Prediction of the exact score of the match

2.2 PLAYING PERIOD

The period of a prediction may vary from one or more matches of the tournament up to the entire tournament. The participant who collects the most points at the end of the playing period wins the prediction. Each prediction clearly states the period to which it relates: the start and end dates are always specified.

The FIFA World Cup consists of 6 phases:

• the group stage
• the round of 32
• the round of 16
• the quarter-finals
• the semi-finals
• the match for third place
• the final

2.3 GAME FORMULAS AND POINT CALCULATION

The World Cup predictions on Tifogame are offered in 3 game formats:

• Predictions covering the entire tournament (all matches). This is the STANDARD FORMULA
• Exceptions:
  • predictions covering the entire tournament with indication of the correct score everywhere
  • predictions that run over the entire tournament (matches of Belgium, the Netherlands, or Germany in the group stage + all matches in the other phases)
  • predictions relating to one or more specific matches

Each game format makes use of one of the two types of predictions mentioned under 2.1 or a combination of both.

The scoring calculation varies according to the game format.

The following chart shows the most common points distribution for the World Cup predictions.

2.3.1 STANDARD FORMULA

For a prediction that covers the entire tournament, the participant must either only predict the correct result (home win, draw, away win) for the group stage matches, or always predict the exact score. In the following phases, the participant must always predict the exact score for all matches. If the participant indicates in the knockout phase that the match will end in a draw, the user must also indicate which team will win the penalty shoot-out. Extra points can be earned with this.

Points are awarded per match as follows:

Group Stage (predicting result: home win, draw, away win)

• 40 points if the participant has correctly predicted the result (home win, draw, away win).

In this phase, 2880 points can be earned, distributed over 72 matches.

Round of 32

• 80 points if the participant has correctly predicted the exact score.
• 60 points if the Participant correctly predicted the outcome (home win, draw, away win) and the goal difference.
• 40 points if the participant has only correctly predicted the result (home win, draw, away win).
• 0 points if the participant has not predicted the correct score nor the correct result (home win, draw, away win).

In this phase, 1280 points can be earned, distributed over 16 matches.

The participant must always give the score after any extra time. If a draw is indicated, the user is asked to indicate which team will win the penalty shoot-out and go through to the next round.
In the round of 32, 10 extra points can be earned for each correct prediction of a shoot-out winner.

Round of 16

• 120 points if the Participant has correctly predicted the exact score.
• 90 points if the Participant correctly predicted the outcome (home win, draw, away win) and the goal difference.
• 60 points if the Participant has only predicted the correct outcome (home win, draw, away win).
• 0 points if the Participant has neither predicted the correct score nor the correct outcome (home win, draw, away win).
  In this phase, 960 points can be earned, distributed over 8 matches.

The score after possible extra time must always be given by the participant. If a draw is predicted, the user is asked to indicate which team will win the penalty shoot-out and advance to the next round.

In this round of 16, 15 extra points can be earned for each correct prediction of a shoot-out winner.

Quarterfinals

• 160 points if the Participant has correctly predicted the exact score.
• 120 points if the Participant correctly predicted the outcome (home win, draw, away win) and the goal difference.
• 80 points if the Participant has only predicted the correct outcome (home win, draw, away win).
• 0 points if the Participant has neither predicted the correct score nor the correct outcome (home win, draw, away win).

In this phase, 640 points can be earned, distributed over 4 matches.

The score after possible extra time must always be given by the participant. If a draw is predicted, the user is asked to indicate which team will win the penalty shoot-out and advance to the next round.

2.3.2 EXEPTION A

Full tournament, correct score for all matches

Group stage (with correct score prediction)

• 30 points if the Participant has correctly predicted the exact score.
• 15 points if the Participant correctly predicted the outcome (home win, draw, away win) and the goal difference.
• 5 points if the Participant has only predicted the correct outcome (home win, draw, away win).
• 0 points if the Participant has neither predicted the correct score nor the correct outcome (home win, draw, away win).

In this phase, 2.160 points can be earned, spread across 72 matches.

All other phases follow the standard formula.

2.3.2 EXCEPTION B

Predictions covering the entire tournament (matches of Belgium, the Netherlands, or Germany in the group stage + all matches in the other phases)
For a prediction that covers the entire tournament, the participant must first predict the exact score for the matches of Belgium or the Netherlands during the group stage. In the subsequent phases, the participant must always predict the exact score for all matches. The points are awarded per match as follows:

Group stage

• 40 points if the participant correctly predicted the exact score.
• 30 points if the Participant correctly predicted the outcome (home win, draw, away win) and the goal difference.
• 20 points if the participant only predicted the outcome (home win, draw, away win) correctly.
• 0 points if the participant neither predicted the correct score nor the correct outcome (home win, draw, away win).
   

In this phase, 120 points can be earned, spread over 3 matches.

All other phases are identical to the standard formula.

2.3.4 Predictions regarding one or more specific matches
For a prediction concerning one or more specific matches (e.g., 1 match from a specific phase, multiple matches from the group stage on a specific date, all matches from one particular phase, etc.), points are distributed per match as follows:

• 30 points if the participant correctly predicted the exact score.
• 15 points if the Participant correctly predicted the outcome (home win, draw, away win) and the goal difference.
• 5 points if the participant only predicted the outcome (home win, draw, away win) correctly.
• 0 points if the participant neither predicted the correct score nor the correct outcome (home win, draw, away win).

2.4 CLASSIFICATION

Each prediction is linked to a ranking. After every match day, the ranking is updated. The participant who is in first place after the last match of the last match day of a prediction is the winner of that prediction. This participant wins the prize as stated under the section ‘Prizes to be won’. The same reasoning applies for second place, third place, etc.

Some cities or municipalities also organize a general ranking with a specific prize pool. A participant who plays in a prediction organized by a retailer, hospitality business, association, etc., offered via the platform of a city or municipality, can thus win prizes multiple times: once or several times via the predictions of retailers, hospitality businesses, associations, etc., and again via the general ranking of the city or municipality. If the participant takes part in the predictions of several local retailers, hospitality businesses, associations, etc., only the best result from their entries counts for the general ranking of the city or municipality.

2.5 REWARDS FOR THE WINNERS

The organizer of a prediction provides a prize for the winner(s) of the prediction. In every prediction, the prizes are listed under the section ‘Prizes to be won’. Tifogroup BV does not accept responsibility for providing or awarding the prize, unless the prediction is organized by Tifogroup BV itself. The organizer of the prediction is indicated by the name of the prediction and the associated logo.

If the winner is a minor, only their parents (or the person exercising parental authority) may receive the prize.
When a participant has won a prize on Tifogame, he/she receives an automatic message confirming the prize. Within a week of this email, the participant will receive a second email with more information about the prize process.

If the participant does not respond to this second email, they will receive a reminder with a deadline. If the participant does not respond by the stated deadline, Tifogroup BV is free to no longer award the prize to the participant.

Tifogroup BV always reserves the right to close a prediction at any time, without awarding a prize to the winner(s).

The organizer of a prediction also reserves the right not to hand over prizes to unfair winners.

2.6 KNOWLEDGE QUESTION + TIEBREAKER QUESTIONS

Every prediction offered at Tifogame.be is a contest.
Companies that organize an internal prediction for their employees are organizing a contest.
For public competitions on Tifogame, a knowledge question and one or more tie-breaker questions are always asked. Participation is only valid after the participant has answered the knowledge question correctly. If the knowledge question is answered incorrectly, participation is invalid and the participant cannot score any points.

2.7 TIEBREAKERS

The points system is set up so that it is unusual for two well-performing players to achieve the same number of points. However, if two or more players do obtain the same number of points, the order will be determined based on the time of registration. The player who registered first will be ranked higher. This ensures a fair and transparent way to break ties.

The exact procedure is as follows:

• Points: Players are first ranked based on their total points, from high to low.
• Registration time: If players have the same number of points, the order is determined by the time of registration. The player with the earliest registration is ranked higher.

This mechanism ensures that in the case of equal scores, the earliest registered player gains an advantage, encouraging timely registration for the contest.

When predicting a single match (thus not for an internal company competition), one or more tie-breaker questions are asked. In case of a tie, the answers to these questions will decide who wins. The person with the best answer will be ranked higher.

3. PLAYER PROFILE

On the dashboard, the participant will find their profile. A participant can add a photo to their profile. If the participant does not choose a photo, a standard avatar will be shown. The photo chosen by the participant may not be discriminatory, offensive, racist, or insulting in any way.

Tifogroup BV reserves the right to change player profile photos. Additionally, Tifogroup BV reserves the right to remove users from the Tifogame.be prediction platform after repeated violations of this rule.

On the dashboard, participants can view a number of personal statistics:

• WINS: A win is a correct prediction for 1 match.
• ACCURACY SCORE: The accuracy score displays the percentage of correct match predictions made by the participant. This accuracy score is the result of the number of correct predictions divided by the total number of predictions, multiplied by 100.
• MATCHES: The number of matches the participant has predicted.
