Footie Fans , my place of work is having a World cup prediction compo.

The idea is you predict the scores from the group matches , and then from the knockout stages, QF.SF and final.

The rules are fairly simple, its a bit of fun.

Would any of you experts like to have a similar competition here?

If so , I am happy to run the thing, I can send out the xl format entry form , rules etc,.

We need at least 10 people to make it interesting.

So if you fancy yourself as a pundit, reply on this thread and we'll see hopw good you really are.

Me

Brit

Backpack

OneeyedJohn

Explorer.

We need about 20 to make it fun.

Email me your details - [email protected]

and I will send the stuff out, will try to update daily, I will publish the rules here tomorrow for all to see. Deadline for entries is Thu 8th.

We all know England are going to win , but by how much and who against?

:D

Basically we predict the scores for the group games , and I will send out an xl sheet for all of those matches. I will send another out for the knockout stages, as and when the teams qualify.

Heres the rules , apologies if they seem vague , but it works.

WORLD CUP Competition Rules

POINTS SCORING: The points scoring will be as follows

1 point for each correct score

2 points for correct result

2 points for correct scores and result.

1point bonus for each goal scored in an absolute correct prediction (Sorry no extra for a correct 0-0)

So a total of 6 points are available plus bonus point per goal.

SO IF A MATCH RESULT WAS 3-1.

If you predicted 3-0. This would score 1 point for the 3 prediction and 2 points for the result thus you score 3 points.

If you predicted 1-1. This would score 1 point for the 1 prediction and no other points thus you score 1 point.

If you predicted 3-1. This would score 1 point for the 3 prediction and 1 point for the 1 prediction 2 points for correct result and a further 2 points for correct score thus you score a maximum 6 points. Plus 4 bonus points for each goal scored for a completely correct prediction giving a Total of 10 points.

The prediction sheet: There is only one sheet it contains all games known at the start plus how the draw will place teams for the 2nd round onwards, I will update and send again when known, where practical. Take a good look at each pool and the date on the left when the games are played, make sure you get your prediction in no later than this day and before kick off. You can fill in the whole sheet in one go if you want. How you make your entries is upto you as long as they are in before kick off. At the bottom of each pool is a box for your prediction for total goals in the pool, this must be entered at the same time as first pool matches.

One final point to remember, if your predictions are late they will not be entered, if you forget to make an entry there will\be no default predictions.

No predictions = No points

NOTE: All predictions are based on 90mins. Extra time, golden goals, penalties etc. do not count.

Chaps I have just sent XL's out , it's probably an idea either publish the predictions (including mine) here , or for me to send my predictions to one of you , otherwise it would be easy to get accused of cheating :o .

Come all you other TV members , have a go at this compo!

:D

Count me in. I'm a Yank, so I'm at a disadvantage, but I follow some relatives in the leagues in the UK, and half of WETV is reruns of RealMadrid and obscure Italian teams, so I'll give it a go.

No accusations from me Chonners, it's not as if we're playing for a large pool of cash! Be good to see evryone's predictions though, see how confident we actually are about England!

Come on all you TV chaps, sign up for this. It's just a bit of fun and I've heard a rumour that Chonabot will buy a beer for the winner!!!

Thanks, mate. Count me in, please.

Umm, if I forecast Togo to beat Trinidad and Tobago in the final in Berlin, do I get mucho credit?

How about the overall winner gets to choose avatars for the losers, which they have to display for one month?
