Bug in Pick Em's or confusing scoring?

So this is how the scoring is described to work: "You'll earn 2 points a piece for correctly predicting which teams qualify for the Knockout Stage, as well as an additional 3 points each if you get them in the right order. Each correct pick for 3rd and 4th place gets you 2 points. Call the whole group in the right order? Congratulations, you get an extra 2 points and achieve the maximum score per group -- 16 points." https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/625518014787354625/635185708427902986/Pick_Ems.PNG Here is my Pick Em's, and the scoring seems inconsistent between Groups A and B. Let me explain. Both Groups I correctly predicted 1 team to qualify for the knockout stage, and I correctly predicted the 4th place team in Group A. I also correctly predicted the teams in order 2nd and 3rd in Group A and 3rd and 4th in Group B. Following these rules, from my understanding, I should have 7 points in Group A and 5 in Group B. I only, however, have 4 in Group A. I thought it was maybe only if you got 1st and 2nd in the correct order but then points only add up to a possible 13, and if it doesn't apply between 2nd and 3rd then it is impossible to get 14 points in a group because the only 2 points you would be missing is from getting the entire group correct, and I don't see how that makes any sense to add those points into the system if it doesn't apply? Maybe someone can clear this up, thank you.

i can try it

you get 2 point for each team you predict will go in quarter (the one with gold in front of their name), in both group A and B you get one right G2 and fun plus

A : 2 B : 2

add to that 3 point for team you predict will go to quarter and end up at the spot you predict, you got funplus right but g2 was second and you place them first so no point here

A : 2 B : 5

for the last point, you can get 2 point for each 3 or 4 team you place right , you only get HKA right in group A and nothing else in C (as GAM end 4)

A : 4 B : 5

so the result are logic

for more date, I got 8 for group A because I had G2 first and griffin second, so miss the 6 point for correct order of the 1/2 seed and 2 bonus point for perfect prediction

14 is impossible, you are right about that, just think as the 2 bonus point as a riot safety to make sure poeple can reach 34 point for the mission with one really good group prediction (allow comeback if you didn't do well on the other 3)

You didnt correctly guess the order of any team except HKA and FPX

Yes you guessed g2 above C9 but c9 didnt finish above GRF, asyour guess was
