World Cup 2014 Score Prediction Competition*

[Northern Goblin]

* Where once again first prize is bugger all!

First and foremost let me get the obvious out the way:

THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD FOR THE TOURNAMENT, DON'T USE IT AS SUCH.


Right, rules are the same as the European Championships contest back in 2012, for those who aren't familiar scoring goes as follows:

-1 point for getting the correct type of result (say if Spain beats Germany 3-1 but you said Spain to win 4-0)
-1 point for getting either team's score correct, regardless of result (so in the above scenario if Spain were to win 3-0 you'd get a point for predicting Spain's goal score, as well as your point for getting the result type correct)
- If you predict the complete score it's worth 5 points (1 point for the result, 1 point for either side's score (each) and a bonus 2 points for a perfect prediction)


Later rounds will be worth more points. The round of 16 and the quarter finals will be untouched, but the Semi Finals and 3rd place playoff will be worth double points, and the Final triple.

All entries must be finalised BEFORE the kickoff of the first game of that group. Any posts that are submitted, or previous submissions that are edited after this time will be declared null and void. (Note posts CAN be edited BEFORE the deadline, in case you change your mind or something happens)

The group stages will be split into 3 sections, one per round of games.


All deadline times are in GMT (actual GMT not BST) and you are responsible for checking what time that is in your area.

Group Stage - Round one: Thursday 12th June - 20:00 // Round two: Tuesday 17th June - 19:00 // Round three: Monday 23rd June - 20.00
Round of 16 - Saturday 28th June - 16:00
Quarter Finals - Friday 4th July - 16:00
Semi Finals - Tuesday 8th July - 20:00
Third place playoff - Saturday 12th July - 20:00
Final - Sunday 13th July - 19:00


A score table will be put up after each stage so you can check your own progress. Any matches that are called off will be declared null and void, regardless of the score at the time of game's ending. If any games are subject to replays the predictions will be for the replayed fixture.

Good luck everyone!
