[football] world cup 2006 prediction league
 

As promised, here is the World Cup 2006 Prediction league.

For those who haven't played before...

At its simplest, you predict the scores. You do this by copying or quoting my fixture list, and filling in the blanks. All the rest, the scoring, the league tables etc is done by me. New fixture lists will be posted as the competition progresses.

When I do this type of competition, I normally make it mirror the actual event as much as possible, so players will be split into 8 groups, with the top 2 going through to the knockout rounds after the first round matches etc. I'll do a draw with a seeding system on friday. It will be running on PB too if you're wondering where the extra players will be coming from :)

the scoring system (you don't need to understand this to join in)

League tables have 4 columns, X G B and Pts. For each match you get one of the following...

1 point 'G' for being generally right, ie you chose the right winner but the wrong score

2 points 'G+B' for correctly predicting a draw, again with the wrong score

3 points 'X' for getting the score exactly right

3 points 'G+2B' for a generally right longshot win (when less than approx. 20% of other predictors also predicted correctly for that match)

4 points 'X+B' for an exact draw

5 points 'X+2B' (or possibly even more) for an exact longshot win. The number of bonus points awarded is the number of goals scored by the winning team +1.

Re: [football] world cup 2006 prediction league
 

that's 32 players now :) one for every team, but I won't close signups, we'll just have bigger groups, still with the top two in each going through.

Re: [football] world cup 2006 prediction league

Re: [football] world cup 2006 prediction league
 

Obviously, I put England on a 4-1 lose because it'd be bloody fun if I was right. Since England obviously has the bestest team in the world, there is no way they'd lose against fast-paced motivated not-dieing-of-skin-cancer Paraguay.

Oh really I thought it started off in your mum's mouth and finished up all over her hair.

Re: [football] world cup 2006 prediction league

Re: [football] world cup 2006 prediction league

I had the daily pattern of games starting at 2,5,8 in my head when I typed that :(

This reminds me of when Ralph Wiggum starts singing "I beat the smart kids, I beat the smart kids".

THIS world cup starts when 1-X says it starts. If his time isn't in line with the football world cup, tough.
