The fundamental goal of SuperBru is to score as many points as possible, by making as many accurate predictions as possible. Here's what you'll predict, and how points are allocated for those predictions:

For every game in the series, you must pick:

1) The game outcome (team 1 win, draw or team 2 win)

2) The margin of victory (i.e. score difference)

SuperBru features several different kinds of points, and understanding them may help inform your picking strategy. For example, you might want to go for extreme margins in the hopes of out-fringing your pool mates to a Bonus Point, but at the risk of not getting Margin Points.

Point name	Value	Description
Win Point (WP)	1.0 (league games) 2.0 (semi-finals) 3.0 (final)	Scored by all players correctly predicting the game outcome (home team win, draw or away team win).
Margin Point (MP)	0.5	Score by every player whose margin prediction is within 5 points of the real margin, taking into account winning team. In the case of close games where the real margin is less than 5 points, players will qualify for a Margin Point if their prediction was for the incorrect team but within 5 points of the real margin. E.g. Player predicts Team A by 2 and Team B wins by 1 - player's prediction is within the 5 point range and a Margin Point is awarded. A Margin Point will not be awarded outside of this range. E.g. Player predicts Team A by 90, Team B wins by 84, no Margin Point is awarded.   Pick   MP value     Shimlas  by 9  0.0     Shimlas  by 8  0.0     Shimlas  by 7  0.5     Shimlas  by 6  0.5     Shimlas  by 5  0.5     Shimlas  by 4  0.5     Shimlas by 3 0.5   Actual score:  Shimlas  by 2  0.5     Shimlas by 1 0.5     Draw by 0 0.5     UCT by 1 0.5     UCT by 2 0.5     UCT  by 3  0.5     UCT by 4 0.0     UCT by 5 0.0
Bonus Point (BP)	1.0	The Bonus Point will appear in pools only and not on the Global Leaderboard because it is a relative point. It is scored by player(s) whose margin prediction(s) is/are the closest to the actual marign. Point is split in case of ties (e.g. if two players qualify, they get 0.5 BP each). Must get the game outcome right (i.e. earn a WP) in order to qualify. If a player joins a pool after the first game of the season has been played, they will not qualify for Bonus Points in this pool for the games played prior to their joining, even where their pick was more accurate than the next best in the pool. This ensures that players joining pools late cannot upset the scoring in those pools.
Grand Slam Point (GSP)	1.0	During the round robin stage (i.e. not for semi-finals or final), if you predict all the winners correctly in a round, you will qualify for a Grand Slam Point. If you default on any game in the round in question, you will lose qualification for the GSP.

There are no default picks in this tournament (it's too short). If you miss a pick, you will not receive any automatic pick.
