What is the difference between a tier and a badge?

Tiers are levels. They depend only on how many points the user has won. So if you have, let's say 3 tiers - Bronze (0 points), Silver (1000 points) and Gold (5000 points), the moment a user registers, they will be in tier Bronze. The moment they reach 1000 points, they will be in Silver and so on. You should only display the highest tier the user is in. The user can be only in one tier at a time.

Badges are rewarded for different accomplishments and users can have multiple badges at the same time. Also, badges have multiple criteria, not just points. The criteria for the badges, include the number of predictions made, number of correct predictions, points and entity (team, competition). You can have multiple badges. For example, you can create a badge called "Real Madrid expert" which is rewarded when a user has made at least 50 predictions for Real Madrid matches, 30 predictions have been correct and they have earned 350 points. Once a user has fulfilled these criteria, they will receive this badge. Once the badge is received, it cannot be removed or replaced. The user has it forever. Then you can have another badge called "Real Madrid guru" (100 predictions, 70 correct, 1000 points) - once the user fulfills these requirements, they will receive this badge as well and they will have the 2 badges (not just the latest as it is with tiers).
