Rules

You can predict any single which has not yet appeared in a midweek chart (first Tuesday) and the number of copies you think it will sell in its first week. If you predict it selling more copies than it does, you score no points. If you predict under, the copies you predict is the points you get. This game of risk means that a higher prediction will score more points if it doesn't go over.

Bonus Scoring
If the prediction is within 20,000 copies (and not going over), the number of points earned by the prediction is multiplied by 1.1 (110%).
If it is within 10,000 copies, it is multiplied by 1.2 (120%).
Within 5,000 copies is x1.5 (120%).
Within 2,000 copies is x1.75 (175%)
Within 1,000 copies is x2 (200%).

In the VERY rare case of correctly matching ALL digits, the player is awarded 20 TIMES (2,000%) of the score, so 40,000 would become 800,000, 120,000 becomes 2,400,000 etc. But don't get your hopes high, it is unlikely to happen, but not as unlikely as winning the lottery .

It is useful to know that a lower prediction will be more likely to be a match, for example, predicting 4,384 copies will only require that single's copies to match four digits, but predicting 104,491 copies would require six digits to match, which is obviously less likely to happen

Example
Predicting Song X to sell 40,000 in its first week when it ends up selling 57,882 copies gives the player 40,000 points. So whatever copies they predicted song X to sell, as long as it is 57,882 or less, equals the points scored. If this player predicted 57,883 or more copies, they would score no points. The player was within 20,000 copies so they are awarded an extra 10% of their score, so 1.1 * 40,000 is 44,000 points.
