Here are the group tables and knockout stages for you to look at:
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Rules and point scoring:
Spoiler: show
IMPORTANT: Any score prediction posts that show as being 'edited' after the deadline can't be accepted.
Points:
1. Tournament prediction:
3 points for each team that finishes in your predicted position (this includes the teams you choose to leave in the group stage).*
1 point bonus for each team that reaches the knockout stages.
4 point bonus for correctly predicting the two finalists.
10 point bonus for correctly predicting the winner.
*To keep things simple, there will be no detailed predictions of group placings (ie, 1st-4th).
Total points available: 70
2. Score predictions for the group stages:
4 points for getting the right result. ('home' win, 'away' win or draw)*
1 point bonus for getting the home team's score.
1 point bonus for getting the away team's score.
1 point bonus for getting the correct difference between the scores.
*Team on the left side of the fixture will always be the 'home' team.
Total points available during group stage predictions: 168
3. Score predictions for the knockout stages
When posting predictions, insert a 'P' next to one team's score to indicate who you feel would win a penalty shootout should it occur.
The score prediction itself includes extra time. So a correct 1-0 prediction can still pocket the maximum 7 points even if it's 0-0 after 90 minutes and the winning goal comes in extra time.
Example: Germany 1 v Italy 2P (here, you're predicting Italy will win before the end of extra time, and would back them to win a penalty shootout if it occurs)
4 points for getting the right result at the end of extra time.
1 point bonus for getting the home team's score.
1 point bonus for getting the away team's score.
1 point bonus for getting the correct difference between the scores.
Penalty shootout bonuses:
3 point bonus for predicting a draw AND the the correct penalty winners.
2 point bonus for predicting the correct overall winner (highest scorer) AND the correct penalty winners.*
1 point bonus for not predicting either of the above but choosing the correct penalty winners.
*This is a fair bonus, since you've overall correctly predicted the team which will progress to the next round.
PLUS: For any prediction which has one or both of the teams scoring, place an 'F' next to one of the scores to signify who scores first. 1 bonus point.
