2018 World Cup Prediction Game

[PikeStance]

---

It is Back!
For 2014 we had as many as 18 members participating
Please read the rules below and if you would like to be apart of it, then let me know.
Please do not submit any scores until I ask for them.

---

THIS IS NEW THIS YEAR
The Admin agreed to award15 reps for first place, 10 reps for second place, and 5 reps for third place. As always, all participants are encouraged to rep the winner.

HERE ARE THE RULES

POINT RULES
Group Stage

Correctly guessing the results of a match: +1 (winner or draw)
Incorrectly guessing the results: 0
Bonus Point for correctly guessing the actual score: +3

Elimination Rounds

All games must have a predicted winner. In a case of a draw, the game will always be resolved until there is a winner. You will predict the final score. In accordance with FIFA rules, at the end of regulation, there will always be two 15 minutes halves. If no winner, then it will be resolved by Kicks from the Spot.
So you will guess three things
1- The winner
2- the correct final score
3- The manner in which the game ended (at the end of regulation, at the end of extra time, or as a result of Kicks from the Spot)

You will predict the final score at the conclusion of any tiebreaker! so if you predicted a 2-1 finished; it will consider the final score at the end of regulation, after extra time, or K.S. You will earn (+1) for correctly guessing the winner. To earn the bonus point, you need to correctly guess the correct score. Kicks from the spot give the winning team one point, so a 1-1 game that goes to Kicks from the Spot will be recorded as 2-1.

Scenarios
Game ends 1-1
You guess 2-1
Game 1: in extra time the game ends 2-1 (+1) for the winner (+3) for correctly guessing the score
Game 2: The game goes to K.S. ends 2-1 (+1) for the winner (+3) for correctly guessing the score.
Game 3: Game ends 2-1 (+1) for the winner (+3) for correctly guessing the score.

In the elimination round, you will also guess how it will end like so
2-1 (et) means game ended 2-1 after extra time
2-1 (ks) means game ended after kicks from the spot
If you guess 2-1 (et) The game ended 2-1 (et)
(+1) winner (+3) correctly guessing the score (+1) for guessing how it ended = 5 Points earned
Let's say you guessed 3-2 (ks) The game ended 2-1 (ks)
(+1) for the winner (+1) for guessing how it ended BUT the final score is different so only = 2 Points earned

SUBMISSION RULES
Prediction for each round of play should be submitted no later than a half hour before the kick- off of the first match of the round.
If you wish to post later, you must post 30 minutes prior to the kick-off of the first match of the following days matches. (This is a new rule)

[Miguel_80]

Hello PikeStance. I would like participate. Count on me if there are places.

[Pinarius]

I've made a match schedule in the style of the twc-forum

[Miguel_80]

Very nice schedule Pinarus! Good job

[PikeStance]

Gentleman,

There are two days to go for kick-off

Below is the format to use. Please do not change anything (order). Please submit before the kick off of the first game.
You may opt to submit per day. Please be sure to submit before kick-off of the first match of the day. You may not submit one game at a time. Tat would be a nightmare.
Please keep track of your score; I am human and prone to making mistakes.
Remember, this thread is for submission of predictions. Please refrain from making other posts.

I created a Discord chat for live chat during the game if anyone is interested.
