Earl Purple's World Cup 2006 Prediction Game
Former Member
Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Ok, this is the prediction game, similar to the one I ran 2 years ago for Euro 2004.
The rules are as follows:
1. You predict the score for each game. The fixtures that you should predict for are displayed,
and you should predict by responding to this topic.
2. The game is run on more than one internet site. All the predictions count for one game.
3. The result is the score after normal time. During the knockout phase, extra time and penalties don't count.
4. All the points are added up and divided by the number of correct predictors. If there are no correct predictions for a game, then the points go into a "pot" and there is a rollover to the next game. At the times where there are 2 games, one of the games will arbitrarily be designated as the "first" game with regards to any rollovers.
5. You don't have to predict for every game, but if you don't predict you have no chance of winning for that game. You don't lose any points for wrong predictions (change to Euro 2004 when you did).
6. You have up to kick-off time to predict. The kick-off times will be given in Central European Time, as the games are in Germany. 8pm in Germany is 7pm in London, 2pm in New York.
The next 8 games to predict are as follows:
9. (Group E) USA vs Czech Republic, Monday 12 June, 15:00
10. (Group E) Italy vs Ghana, Monday 12 June, 18:00
11. (Group F) Australia vs Japan, Monday 12 June, 21:00
12. (Group F) Brazil vs Croatia, Tuesday 13 June, 15:00
13. (Group G) South Korea vs Togo, Tuesday 13 June, 18:00
14. (Group G) France vs Switzerland, Tuesday 13 June, 21:00
15. (Group H) Spain vs Ukraine, Wednesday 14 June, 15:00
16. (Group H) Tunisia vs Saudi Arabia, Wednesday 14 June, 18:00
There will be in total 48 group games and 15 knockout games, 63 in total.

Would be better if you got a few points for correct score direction, then more for correct margin, then loads more for correct score.
I did ask him about this on Sunday evening - he just ignored me...
Correct result: 1 point
Correct scoreline: 3 points
my work is done. i retire. good luck to the rest of you
