Scoring Rules

How your podium picks are scored — every point explained.

Point Values Per Pick

Outcome	Description	Points
🥇 Gold — Exact	You picked the correct Gold medalist in the Gold slot	4 pts
🥈 Silver — Exact	You picked the correct Silver medalist in the Silver slot	3 pts
🥉 Bronze — Exact	Your Bronze pick won any bronze medal (either bronze slot counts)	2 pts
Partial Credit	You picked a real medalist, but in the wrong position	1 pt
Miss	Your pick did not medal at all	0 pts
🏆 Perfect Bonus	All 4 picks are exactly correct — Gold, Silver, Bronze 1, Bronze 2	+3 pts

Maximum possible score per event

14 pts

Gold (4) + Silver (3) + Bronze 1 (2) + Bronze 2 (2) + Perfect Bonus (3) = 14

Bronze Medal Rule

In wrestling, both semifinal losers receive bronze medals — one from each bracket half. You pick two bronze medalists: Bronze 1 and Bronze 2.

The two bronze slots are interchangeable when scoring. If your Bronze 1 pick wins the Bronze 2 medal and vice versa, you still earn full points for both. The specific slot label does not matter — only that the wrestler won a bronze.

Partial Credit

If you pick a wrestler who medals but in a different position than you predicted, you earn 1 point.

•You pick wrestler A for Gold → wrestler A wins Silver → 1 pt (partial)

•You pick wrestler B for Silver → wrestler B wins Gold → 1 pt (partial)

•You pick wrestler C for Bronze 1 → wrestler C wins Gold or Silver → 1 pt (partial)

•You pick wrestler D for Gold → wrestler D does not medal → 0 pts

Bracket-Constrained Picks

When bracket draw data is available for an event, picks are constrained to reflect real tournament structure:

GoldOpen to any wrestler from either bracket half.
SilverAuto-filtered to the bracket half opposite your Gold pick, since the Gold medal final must feature one wrestler from each half.
Bronze 1Constrained to the TOP bracket half.
Bronze 2Constrained to the BOTTOM bracket half.

If bracket data is incomplete, picks are open across all registered wrestlers.

Pick Deadline & Locking

Each event displays its pick deadline. Picks can be saved and updated any number of times before the deadline. Once the event begins, picks are locked and cannot be changed. The final saved picks at lock time are the ones scored.

Tournament Leaderboard

Your tournament score is the sum of points earned across all events in that tournament. The leaderboard ranks all participants by total score, highest first.

In case of a tie in total score, tied users share the same rank. No secondary tiebreaker is currently applied.
