But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

NOTES
UPDATED THE STANDINGS
53 {12} (6) [13] l14l /8\ : Pinarius
51 {12} (8) [13] l11l /7\ : Sir Adrian
50 {11} (11) [7] l13l /8\ : ToonTotalWar
45 {9} (6) [11] l15l /4\ : Gallus
+The competition is between Pinarius, Sir Adrian and Toon. Gallus is still mathematically alive!
+Discord strong performance in the QF has left me in the cellar (boohoo)
+Strong performance. 8 pts tops scores (out of possible 12). Bravo!
++ If there is a tie at the end- Tie breakers (Most number of correctly predicted results, then the most number of correctly predicted scores)
FORMAT
Some people I notice are not using the proper format. Its
X-X Brazil - Germany
X-X Netherlands - Argentina
For the knock phase
X-X (ks or PK/et) Country A - Country B
If you did it wrong, please delete your post and repost the scores (see below)
EDITING POSTS
Please do not edit posts. If you made a mistake, delete the predictions.... type VOID and repost.
QUALIFICATION PREDICTION
I did a little research. It would seem that only in the Americas is draws very common. UEFA, CAF and AFC are more in line with the World Cup. (There was one group in UEFA and one in CAF that were anomalies)
I proposed:1 pt for guessing the result (win-draw-loss)I think it is much more difficult to guess the actual score. Instead of penalizing, we should reward an exceptional guess.
3 pts for guessing the correct score
an additional point can still be added for guessing the correct result in knock-out phase of any competition.

OK trying again with the correct format - I'm guessing you don't get too much misbehaviour in class or at least mischeif that isn't dealt with swiftly and decisively?
1-2 (et) Brazil - Germany
1-2 (et) Netherlands - Argentina
I agree that you should not penalise someone for getting the wrong result or score. 1 pt for right result, 3 pts for correct score seems right. If you really wanted to, you could put all the prior results into that format to see if the same people are on top - I'm guessing mainly they will be (don;t have to post then, more as an exercise to prove it to yourself).

For kicks I went back and did it this "new" way. I kept people in their current order, but changed the numbers.
One anomaly: Wulf actually loss a point. My guess is that he earned bonuses for guessing correctly draws. (the prediction went from 2 pts to just 1).
It is also important to consider the possibility of people talking themselves out of a predicting a draw because thy fear the loss of a point. In this World Cup, there were 9 draws out of 48 matches. That's 1 draw for every 5.3 matches.

Discord just to be clear..
5-4 (pk) Netherlands- Argentina
Means= the game ended after extra time 4-4 and Netherlands won on kicks from the spot resulting in a 5-4
if you mean to say 1-0 (pk) then that is a game that ends 0-0 after extra time. Note: we do not guess the the number of attempts made in a shoot out.
Fixed i hope it is right now
I should have 52 points, I got 8 points in the quarter finals.
France - Germany - 3 points for guessing winner, score and the game ending in full time
Brazil - Columbia 2 points for guessing winner and that game ended in full time.
One point for guessing that Netherlands will win
Two points from Argentina - Belgium, guessing the winner and that it ended in full time.

I actually thought the draw loss of a point only was for the group phase, reason i went for 0-1 (ks) on Argentina - Belgium...One anomaly: Wulf actually loss a point. My guess is that he earned bonuses for guessing correctly draws. (the prediction went from 2 pts to just
But in the quarter finals i got 2 points, for predicting the winner being Brazil, Germany and Netherlands, but lost 1 for that game in the above phrase.
And i got 1 correct score. 0-0 Iran vs Nigeria....

Wulf,... that was me redoing the results with the new proposed point value: 1 pt for correctly predicting the result, and 3 points for correctly guessing the score.
The old system gave 2 points when you correctly predicted a draw and a -1 if you got it wrong. In the redo, a draw got only a point, so you lost a point. If I made a mistake, don't sweat it too much, it was only an interesting comparison. Its not official.
