SCORING
Will be as follows:
a) HALF TIME SCORE - 1pt for correct result (eg, Win score, draw), 2 pts for correct score
b) FULL TIME SCORE - 2 pts for correct result, 5 pts for correct score.
c) FIRST GOAL - 10 pts for correct time, 6 pts for being up to and including 3 minutes either
side, 2 pts for being 10 minutes either side, 1 pts for 15 minutes either
side.
d) YELLOW CARDS - You will be guessing the total for both teams combined, if your total
is correct that is the number of points you will score (eg. If you guess
7, and there 7, then you will score 7 pts). If 0 then you will score 1.
e) RED CARDS - As yellow cards except your score is multiplied by 2.
f) VAR - Guess the number of goals overturned by a VAR decision - 0 scores 1 point, all
other guesses multiplied by 2 (1 = 2, 2 = 4, etc) ***NEW***
g) EXTRA TIME SCORE - For knock-out round only, 3 pts for correct result, 6 pts for
correct score.
h) PENALTIES - Knock-out round only, 4 pts for correct result, 8 pts for correct penalty
score.
i) SHOTS ON TARGET - For FINAL only: guess the total and that is the number of points
scored
j) POSSESSION - For FINAL only: guess the possession stats: exact = 4 points; correct = 2
JOKER. You will be permitted to play a joker for each set of matches in the group stage, plus one in the Second Round, one in the Quarter-Finals, one in the Semis and in the FINAL you can play it on a single prediction such as yellow cards, half time score, etc. The normal joker will DOUBLE your total points tally in that match. If someone indicates more than one per set then I will take the first listed only.
TABLES. In the event of a tie in points, position will be decided first on correct first goal guesses, then correct full time scores, then half time scores, then total of red cards guessed then yellow cards. After that I toss a coin! Once the knock-out phase has been reached, then after first goal guesses, it becomes penalty score guesses, extra time guesses, then full time guesses. I’ll try and update tables after each day.
KNOCK-OUT PHASE. If scores in a pair are level after each set of matches then the tie will be decided by count back. I will go back over all the matches and award a point for each section you beat your opponent in, the one with the highest cumulative total wins. Should it still be a tie, then I will go back to the last game you predicted in Round 2 and start counting back. I will repeat this process until I have a winner.
Writing out your predictions.
If you could all do the following when posting them then it will be easy for me to work out who is predicting what:
TURKEY (1) 4 v 2 (2) ITALY (Brackets indicate half time) *** (Stars indicate playing your joker)
1st G = 23rd Minute
YC = 7
RC = 2
VAR = 1
For the knock-out rounds:
NORTH MACEDONIA (1) [2] 3 v 3 [2] (0) FINLAND (Square brackets indicate full time - only add if you want to predict an outcome in extra time)
1st G = 45 Minute
YC = 13
RC = 4
VAR = 3
PEN; 14-13 Panama.
NB: All goals scored in injury time of each half will count as 45 or 90.
