Scoring — position-weighted. For each group: exact finish earns
4 / 3 / 2 / 1 pts for nailing 1st / 2nd / 3rd / 4th. A team you slotted as group winner or runner-up that did qualify (top-2) but in the other order scores
1 pt. Max 10 per group, 120 overall.
Exact slots = teams placed in their precise finishing position (of 48).Qualifier pairs = groups where you named both top-2 teams, any order (of 12).
One source conflict: Group H runner-up. NBC Sports and Al Jazeera report Cape Verde 2nd, Uruguay 3rd; Yahoo had them flipped. Scored with the 2-of-3 majority (Cape Verde 2nd). Flip it and only Group H sub-scores move slightly — the leaderboard order is unchanged.
