Winner Selection Algorithm
How winners are determined after each match
Collect Eligible Predictions
All users who submitted a prediction for the match before the deadline are included in the eligible pool.
Rank by Points
Users are ranked by total points earned for that match: exact score (highest), correct winner, correct individual team score.
Tie-Breaking by Random Seed
When users share the same points, a cryptographically seeded random sort determines rank. The seed is derived from the match ID and result timestamp — both publicly verifiable.
Winner Coupon Generation
Top-ranked users in each category receive a unique coupon code instantly. All selections are logged with the algorithm seed for auditability.
Tie-Breaking Rules
Applied in order when users share the same rank
Exact score prediction (correct A and B goals)
Correct winner (A wins / B wins / draw)
Correct team A score only
Correct team B score only
If still tied — seeded random sort using algorithm seed
Random Selection Audit Log
Last 20 winner selections — fully verifiable
How Randomness Works
When a tie cannot be broken by the above rules, a deterministic random sort is used. The algorithm seed is derived from the match result timestamp and match ID, making it fully reproducible and auditable. Anyone can verify the result by re-running the sort with the published seed.
