*The number of referees at a World Cup is not always the same. In 2010 there were 29 referees selected, in 2006 only 21. The number of refs for the 2014 World Cup is not set yet, so that could vary. You may choose how many you select. If you pick 40 and Fifa selects 30, you might have guessed all refs right, but you also got 10 refs wrong. That’s why you get minus 3 points if you made an incorrect guess.
Bonus points
- 10 points for predicting the exact number of yellow cards during the tournament (both first and second yellow cards)
- 10 points for predicting the exact number of red cards (straight red + red after a second yellow card) during the tournament.
- 5 points for predicting the referee who gave the most cards during the tournament (if the same player gets two yellows and a red card from the referee, it counts as three cards).
