world cup PREDICTIONS COMPETITION
Rules
Predicting the matches
Predict the end score of all the matches in the tournament/competition. You have until 15 minutes before the start of a match to add or change your prediction.
GMT time is used, so please be on time if you want to fill in your scores.
Initially, you will be required to predict scores for the Group Games only. Once the teams are through to the next round, the fixtures will become available for you to make your predictions. These games can also be changed until 15 minutes before the game starts. The same method applies throughout the entire tournament.
The scoring
In the group phase the scores at the end of the game are used for the calculation of the scores. For the knockout rounds the score at the end of the game including extra time is used. Goals in a penalty shoot-out are not taken into consideration.
You get points for predicting the correct outcome of each match. If you predict 2-1 and the result is 2-0 you will score 5 points (correct outcome). If you predict 2-1 and the result is 2-1 you get 10 points (spot on).
Bonus Points – You get 1 point for correctly guessing how many goals each team will score in each match (.i.e. If you predict 3-1 and the score is 3-0 you will get a point for the home team scoring 3). These points are in addition to the points you can obtain above.
All Bonus Points are based on match results at the end of 90 minutes (Group Stage) and After Extra Time (Knockout Stage), you do not score points for goals scored/saved in a penalty shootout.
