Points to be earned based on the predicted countries in the knockout rounds
Next to the points for the score, you are able to collect points by predicting the countries that go through to the next round(s). So, you can earn points based on the correct position (CP), or the incorrect position (IP). For example, correct position is equal by predicting that France will be the winner of Group A. But, if another country comes first and France qualifies, but as runner-up, it will be selected as the incorrect position.
