Rules.

Scoring
Correct result = 1 pt
Correct score = 1 pt
Bonus points (only received if the correct result is predicted):
Correct home team score = 0.5 pt
Correct away team score = 0.5 pt
Correct margin of victory = 0.5 (not valid for a draw)
All scores accumulate.
I will post the fixtures for the following day once the last match of the day is over, however, you don't need to wait until then. If you want to make a full prediction, the full fixtures are below, although obviously you won't know the knockout teams until later on. You can change your prediction until kickoff - last posted prediction prior to kickoff counts. The time next to the fixture is UK time for kickoff.

Clearly only the psychics who know this thread would turn up deserve any points today.

To clarify, does this effectively mean you get 1 pt for a correct result, 2 points for a correct score, and 1.5 points for getting the correct result plus one of those other things right?Diluted Dante wrote:Scoring

Damn it, only just saw this.
Would only have gone 1-0 anyway so no big loss.rateyourmusic: https://rateyourmusic.com/~Olimite -
That'd be nice. But can't see SA scoring now.Kazuo wrote:This is gonna finish 3-1, I can feel it in my bones. -

Player 2 prediction
Home team 3 - 2 away team = 1.5 points (1pt for correct result, 0.5 for correct home score)
Player 3
Home team 1 - 0 away team = 1 point (1pt for correct result)
Player 4
Home team 2 - 0 away team = 1.5 points (1pt for correct result, 0.5 for correct margin of victory)
Player 5
Home team 3 - 3 away team = 0 points (result not predicted correctly) -
It’s like the matched betting thread in how quickly it makes my eyes glaze over.
