crucibleGoal Difference Points Rule

General Explanation

The Goal Difference Rule awards points for a prediction if the tendency has been correctly predicted. The tendency is correct if the winner was correctly predicted, or a draw was predicted and occurred.

The maximum number of points specified under "points" in the chart is awarded for a correct prediction on the exact result.

If the result is incorrect, but the tendency is right, the maximum score is reduced by the set number of points per goal. Here the goal difference of home and away wins is added.

• Prediction 1-0 and result 3-1 results in goal difference 3 (2 goals for the home team, 1 for the away team)
• Prediction 1-1 and result 0-0 results in goal difference 2
• Prediction 2-3 and result 0-1 results in goal difference 4

Examples for the "Example goal difference rule" rule

For the "Example goal difference rule" rule, the following scores result:

• Result 2-1 and tip 1-2 results in 0 points (wrong tendency)
• Result 2-1 and tip 2-1 results in 10 points (result exactly right)
• Result 2-1 and tip 1-0 results in 8 points (10 points minus goal difference: 2 times 1 point(s))
• Result 2-2 and tip 0-0 results in 6 points (10 points minus goal difference: 4 times 1 point(s))
• Result 4-0 and tip 3-2 results in7 points (10 points minus goal difference: 3 times 1 point(s))
• Result 1-0 and tip 5-4 results in 5 points (10 points minus goal difference: 8 times 1 point(s) is smaller than minimum points, so you get 5 point(s).)

Variant: "Deduction per Goal Difference"

In the variant "Deduction per Goal Difference", it is not the deviation from the predicted home and away goals which is taken into consideration, but only the deviation from the predicted goal difference.

• Tip 1-0 and result 3-1 results in goal difference 1 (goal difference 2 for the result - goal difference 1 for the prediction)
• Tip 1-1 and result 0-0 results in goal difference 0
• Tip 3-0 and result 2-1 results in goal difference 2
