4 players - 2.5
5 players - 2
6 players - 2
7 players - 1.5
8 players - 1.5

2.) If you predicted winner is eventually the runner-up you can get the point for correct W/RU at most. (Example: Xian chooses Jelena Dokic as the winner. Eventual winner is Alex Stevenson and points will be like this). Same rule in effect if you pick a player as a runner up who is the champion.
