World Cup Prediction game

[Pubey]

Ok. Quite simple.


Scoring is out of 50. Winner takes eternal glory.

1 point for predicting the winning team in each group
1 point for predicting the team that is the runner-up in each group
3 points for predicting each of the four semi-final teams
5 points for the top scorer
2 points for the English top scorer (they will probably be different people?!)
5 points for the runner-up
10 points for the competition winner


If there's a tie for the top scorers then all tied players qualify for the points.
I'll try and keep a bit of a running total after the group stage and semis.

Please keep predictions in the format shown below:

Group winners (A-H order please) - Brazil, Spain, Greece, England, France, Argentina, Germany, Belgium
Group runners up (A-H order please) - Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Italy, Switzerland, Nigeria, Portugal, Russia
Four semi finalists - Brazil, France, Spain, Argentina
Top scorer - Messi
English top scorer - Welbeck
Runner up - Argentina
Winner - Brazil

This forum is completely dead!:smile:

Ok so every person who signs up to play, I'll add £1 to the prize fund (split between people who have an equal score if there is a tie). The maximum prize fund is £20. It will be paypalled to the winner(s). I'll post the spreadsheet so people can double check my scoring

Free to enter and you can potentially win £20, can't say fairer than that!

Thanks for posting my data all over the web. Let's not get this into a Trust debate, it's supposed to be a fun game.

Also, if I win (unlikely) the prize fun will go to the zone.

Hardly posting your "data" all over the web, commenting that you have been a member? You've even said so yourself on here before!

It was more an expression of disappointment that you (apparently) along with many others fail to read what we put a lot of effort into producing and organising.

I dont think the forum is dead, just that this is quite time consuming as you have to predict the whole tournament, which I cant be bothered to do, so the semi-finalists Ive predicted might not even be possible
