Every team earns base points, then those points are multiplied by a handicap based on its pre-tournament odds rank โ so long shots earn far more per result. This keeps departments with two mid-ranked teams in the race.
Multiplier: #1 Spain = ร1.0 โฆ #48 Curacao = ร3.0 (scales linearly with rank).
Group stage (per match): win +3, draw +1, each goal scored +1, clean sheet +1.
Knockouts: reaching the Round of 32 +4; then each knockout win is worth more as you go โ Ro16 +6, QF +8, SF +12, Final +16, Champion +25 โ plus +1 per goal.
A department's score is the weighted total of both its teams. Results pulled live from ESPN's public feed; only finished matches count.
