Bonus Predictions FIFA World Cup 2014 Winner and Loser(before the first match) - 10 points Group Advancing Predictions(before the first match) - 8 points First Goal Scorer(Final Stage only) - 4 points First Goal Period(Final Stage only) - 3 points Final Stage Penalties(Final Stage only) - 2 points Knockout Stage Penalties(Knockout Stage only) - 1 points ------ Winner and Loser predictions are done before the first match starts. Predict the 1st placed, and 32nd placed team in the 2014 World Cup. 5 points for each of them right, with maximum of 10 points possible. Group Advancing Predictions is which 2 teams advance from their group. There are 8 groups and 16 teams going through, each one worth 0.5 points. You don't have to guess their order, but if you guess all correct, you got 8. First Goal Scorer in the final and 3rd place matches is quite easy. Pick a player you want from the teams playing in those two matches. If you get the scorer right, 4 points is yours, get the team right for 2. First Goal Period is also a very simple prediction. Pick between 1st half, 2nd half, 1st ET and 2nd ET. If you are correct, 3 points is yours, or 0 pts if not. Final Stage Penalties only works if the two matches go to penalties. If you get the correct result and winning team(s), you get 2 points. If you get the correct winner, but not exact result, you get 1 point. Knockout Stage penalties only works if those matches go penalties. If you get the correct result and winning team(s), you get 1 point. If you get the correct winner, but not exact result, you get 0.5 points. League Table Previous Prediction Leagues Euro 2008 Prediction League 1. Seddo ----- 2. radicell ----- 3.

AndyGanteks Link Groups & Schedule Guidelines Let the games begin! Feel free to predict all group stage results straight away if you wish, or wait for a few days before the start for them to be posted daily. At the very start, make sure you predict the winner and loser bonus predictions, and the group advancing one. During the knockout stage, don't forget to predict a potential penalty result for each match if it goes to pens. In the final stage, pay attention to all the remaining bonus predictions, as they can net you lots of points.

GTA_stu Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 FIFA World Cup Winner: Germany FIFA World Cup Loser: Brazil I think the loser is the team that does the worst, not the loser of the final. E.g. The team that loses all of its group games and has the worst GD. Could you clarify this Andy, because I'm not sure myself.

AndyGanteks Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Loser is team that takes 32nd place at the end, aka last place, on the official overall fifa rankings that they pull out on the final day. Eg. in 2010: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup#Post-tournament_team_ranking it was North Korea. And the group advancing prediction is 8 points if you get all 16 teams right.(8x0.5) It's 0.5 pts per each team, so if you get 9 teams right, it's 9 x 0.5...or 3 teams right, then you get 1.5 pts, etc. And Hodgey, you don't have to predict who is 1st, who is 2nd, just which two go through.

cactus. Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) So that means predicting the placement of group winners is irrelevant, and instead you're simply predicting "which two teams" advance. That's kinda lame, no? Couldn't you just award an extra point if you correctly predict the order of 1st and 2nd in the group? (or award a whole point for 1st/2nd, and then the 0.5 if the team advances but in the wrong spot).Just a suggestion.
