NSC 2014 World Cup Prediction Competition

[Theatre of Trees]

Its hard work doing a season long prediction game, definitely stick to a cup one which would be great

The interest also goes after a while if doing something for a season. Saying that February 2015 sees the African Nations Cup, I may well do one for that.

 

[Eeyore]

Can I play my joker on Italy v Costa Rica ?-I think I forgot to stake it.

 

[Gazwag]

Awaits update with excitement #jokerjoy

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Update after Japan v Greece, very low scoring except the three who predicted the 0-0 draw, one of whom, Gazwag, played his joker.

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I might do, I was toying with the idea to do something for either the league or FA cups.

Do you have some kind of wizzy tool to work out the updates? Can imagine it would be a bit of a nightmare to work out manually.

Pencil and paper.

One of the reasons why I asked everyone to write it out their predictions in the same way is because it makes it easier and quicker to scan, then all I do is write out the points for half time, full time, minutes then cards in that order, write it down like so 2,2,0,4,0 = 8 (x2 = 16, if joker played). The list is in the order people posted, then copy previous update and add in new update, swapping around positions if need be.

As I am watching all bar the 11pm kick offs I already know all the details before I sit down to add it up.

ToT

I had 4 yellows for Japan-Greece

didn't watch the game but I think it was his 2nd yellow for the sending off?

Yes you are correct, I'll rearrange the points when updating Italy v Costa Rica.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Oh god, I've slipped from the top spot. I can already see myself slow sliding down until the final game when I miss out completely

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Update for Italy v Costa Rica, safe to say nobody saw that one coming.

The table also includes corrections from Japan v Greece where I mistakenly thought there were 5 yellow 1 red, instead of 4 yellow and 1 red - as a consequence Taybha, Gregory2 Smith 1 and PWA gain 4 points and MattBackhome loses his 5 that I'd mistakenly given him.
