How are penalties handled?

    So for each match with the exact score i reward 1 point up until now.
    But now penalties come into play, how would one go about that but still reward 1 point?

    Can people add like 1p – 1 or 1* – 1 in their scores to define who would win on penalties? Or are only numbers allowed?
    Otherwise i would have to change the points from now on to 0 for the score and ask multiple choice questions for the remainder of the tournament with options:
    * My score (ex. 2-3)
    * France wins (when they filled in the equal score 1-1)
    * Germany wins

    I have no clue what the best option is for this.
    Thanks in advance

    The plugin is build around scores and cannot handle anything else than numbers.

    Most people I know only take the end result after extra time into account. No penalties. So, also final rounds can end in a draw for the plugin.
    Predicting including penalties is also possible, but to me that looks a bit odd. You would have to predict end results of e.g. 7-6 or 2-5 if you think the match will end in a draw.

    Makes sense, thank you Antoine!
