How your bracket challenge scores
Every match scores up to 101 points: 56 for the right result, 17 for the goal difference and 14 for each side whose exact goals you call. In a knockout tie those 56 split into 21 for the result after 90 minutes and 35 for backing the side that goes through. The knockout rounds weigh more as the bracket narrows: the final is worth up to 707 points.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the World Cup bracket challenge cost?
Nothing. Creating the league, inviting your friends and making your picks is free. An optional membership adds extras, but the whole bracket challenge is played without paying.
Is there any betting?
No. ChampSheep is a prediction game without betting: no money is staked and there are no cash prizes. If your group wants to play for something, that is between you and outside the app.
Can I keep the bracket challenge private?
Yes. A league is private by default: only the people with your invitation link can join, and only they see its standings.
Do I fill in the whole bracket before the tournament?
No. Each tie opens when its two teams are known, so you pick with the real draw in front of you, round by round, and your bracket builds as the tournament does.
Can I join with the World Cup already under way?
Yes. Join at any time and predict the matches still to be played. The ones already played count for nobody who joins later, so the standings stay fair.
When do picks lock?
At each match's kickoff. In a two-legged tie, both legs lock together when the first leg starts.
How are points calculated?
Per match: the right result scores more than the goal difference, and the exact score takes everything. In a knockout tie, part of the result points go to backing the side that goes through, and the later rounds weigh more. Points update by themselves with every result.
Can we play other competitions in the same league?
Yes. One league can follow several competitions at once, with a table per competition or one overall table that adds them up.
