How to Play
Everything you need to know to start competing in Puntazo Fantasy.
How it works
When a tournament draw is published, you make your predictions: pick who will win each match in the bracket.
Predictions close before the tournament starts. Make sure to submit yours in time!
As matches play out, you earn points for each correct prediction. Later rounds are worth more points.
Compare your results with other players within your groups.
Predictions
Before each tournament, you'll see the full bracket. Your job is to predict the winner of each match, from the first round to the final.
There's a deadline to submit your predictions. Once it closes, you can't modify them.
Scoring
Points are awarded progressively: predicting correctly in later rounds is worth more. Plus, correctly predicting an upset multiplies your points.
You earn points for every match you predict correctly. The later the round and the more unexpected the result, the more points.
Example for a 32-draw
1. Base points per round
Each correct pick earns points based on the round. Points double each round.
2. Upset multiplier
Pairs are grouped into tiers by their seed: 1-4, 5-8, 9-16 and unseeded. If you correctly predict a pair beating one from a better tier, the base points are multiplied by how many tiers it climbs.
3. Round factor
Upsets in earlier rounds are harder to predict, so they earn an extra bonus. This factor only applies to upsets, not to normal picks. The final result is always rounded to the nearest integer.

Tiebreaker
If two players are tied on total points, two tiebreaker criteria are applied in order:
1. Final score distance
When completing your picks, you predict the final match score (e.g. 6-3 7-5). Once the final is played, the distance between your prediction and the actual score is calculated: the sum of absolute game differences per set.
If you predict a different number of sets than the actual result, extra sets add all their games as a penalty.
The player with the smallest distance (closest prediction) wins.
2. Submission time
If the distance is also tied, the player who submitted their predictions first wins.
Groups
Groups let you compete with friends, club mates, or anyone.
Create a group and share the invite code, or join a public one from the Discover tab.
The group creator is automatically an admin. Admins can edit the group, manage members, and regenerate the invite code. Any admin can promote other members to admin.
Some groups offer prizes organized by their admins. Prizes are private arrangements between members — Puntazo Fantasy does not manage, guarantee, or intermediate any prizes.
