Score calculator configuration

In this step, we will import new CDS solution package and will see how to calculate the score.

1. Follow Step 2 (Import the World Cup Game CDS solution package) from above documentation to Import new

solution package. New Solution includes score calculator plugin.

You will see version 2.0 after finishing the import of solution

2. Refresh the browser and Go to “Settings” and Select “Matches” under “Extensions”

3. Now, Filter only admin records in order

• Change the view to Sorted Matches

• Click on user column filter and set it to “admin” and click apply as shown below



4. Edit the admin records “Selected Home” and “Selected Away” columns inline to actual team ids per “Home

Team” and “Away Team” column values and click “Save”

For Example:

• Consider Match 49(Round 1), Its “Home Team” and “Away Team” column values are “winner_a” and

“runner_b” which means winner from Group A vs Runner from Group B

• Winner from Group A is Uruguay and its team id is 4. Update Selected Home to 4

• Also, Runner from Group B is Spain and team id is 6, Update Away to 6

• Consider Match Name 57(Round 2), Its “Home Team” and “Away Team” column values are “49” and “50”

which means winner from Match 49 vs winner from Match 50 i.e., if Team 4 wins the match 49 and Team 15

wins the Match 50, Update Selected Home (49) – 4 and Selected Away (50)- 15



Please follow above logic for rounds 1, 2 ,3

Special case for Round 4 or Finals: For Round 4(Match 63), We need to update additional columns – “Home

Result” and “Away Result”

As shown in below image, if Selected Home (Team 17) wins the finals, update the Home Result: 1, Away Result:

0 and vice versa if Selected Away (Team 5) team wins, Set Home Result: 0, Away Result : 1

Note: Teams details are available in shared Teams Default data csv file

5. After saving records, click “CALCULATE SCORE” button which shows a dialog to initiate process, click “Proceed”.

It starts background process for score calculation.

Note: Process might take 2-3 minutes to finish the scoring calculation



6. To confirm score calculations, Go to “Settings” and Select “GameUsers” under “Extensions”, you will see scores

for users

7. We still need to sort the Leader board collection in POWERAPPS

• Open a new browser tab, navigate to https://web.powerapps.com

• Open the World Cup app in Edit mode




• Edit the App, Go to LeaderBoardScreen -> LeaderboardGallery -> Items and use below formula

Sort(LeaderboadCollection, ms_score, Descending)

• Click Save and Publish the app

• Now, you can see scoring in the app

Note: Please follow points 2 and 3 for rounds 2,3,4 (which are yet to happen) to update User scores



Scoring logic:

100% - A Score is calculated based on your selection for the World Cup winner and the number of teams that you

correctly predicted to enter each of these rounds – Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, and Final

Each prediction has a weight that depends on which Round the game belongs to:

Category Multiplier

Winner 500

Each finalist you picked correctly 100

Each semi-finalist you picked correctly 50

Each quarter-finalist you picked correctly 25

Each round of 16 team you picked correctly 10

Example 1: Let’s say a contestant picks the correct winner of the cup and correctly predicts 50% of the teams in

each round. They will get a total score of 780

Multiplier # Correct Prediction Score

Winner 400 1 500

Each finalist 100 1 100

Each semi-finalist 50 2 100

Each quarter-finalist 25 4 100

Each round of 16 10 8 80

Total Score: 880

Example 2: A contestant selected the correct winner but only predicted one team correctly in each round. They will

get a score of 585.

Multiplier # Correct Prediction Score

Winner 400 1 500

Each finalist 100 1 100

Each semi-finalist 50 1 50

Each quarter-finalist 25 1 25

Each round of 16 10 1 10

Total Score: 685
