The rulebook

How it works

Zuckerpass turns the World Cup into a season-long Tippspiel: join a league, call every scoreline, bank points on each result, and climb your league’s table. Here’s exactly how it all works.

1

Join a league

Create one or join with a code. It’s your private game with friends.

2

Make your picks

All 104 scorelines, plus a handful of tournament-long bonus calls.

3

Climb the table

Bank points as results land and outscore your league.

Leagues

Everything happens inside a league. Create a private one or join with a code for your group chat, office or family. Everyone predicts the same 104 matches independently, and each league has its own table ranking its members. Play in as many leagues as you like; your picks in each are separate.

Your picks

  • Predict all 104 fixtures, from the opener to the final. Edit any pick freely right up until it locks.
  • Each match locks at its own kickoff. Spread-out World Cup days stay fair. A late kickoff never freezes your pick for an earlier match.
  • Picks stay private until kickoff: no copying, no spoilers. Once a match starts, everyone’s picks for it appear on the league table.

Scoring a match

Every match is scored the same way. You’re rewarded for getting close, not just for nailing it exactly.

Exact score
You called the result on the nose.
4
Goal difference
Right margin, wrong scoreline.
3
Right tendency
Correct winner, or you called the draw.
2
Miss
Wrong outcome, or no prediction at all.
0

Knockout matches are scored on the full-time result, including extra time and penalties, so a final won 1–1 (4–2 on pens) is scored as 6–5.

Bonus predictions

Beyond match scorelines, a set of tournament-long calls are worth big points. You make them once, and they all lock together at a single deadline before the opening match, hidden from your rivals until then, just like your match picks. Compare the whole league side by side on the Bonus tab’s overview.

Award winners (Golden Boot / Ball / Glove) are confirmed by an admin from the official tournament results once announced.

The leaderboard

Every league has its own table. Points land the moment a match ends and totals update live. When two members are level on points, ties break in this order:

  1. 1Most exact-score hits
  2. 2Then most goal-difference hits
  3. 3Then a deterministic fallback, so ranks are always stable

These tie-breakers are live in every league’s standings. A matchday-wins tie-breaker is a planned refinement.
