Final Prediction League Table & World Cup Prediction League?

[MichiganWolf]

Wanted to post the final table for the Prediction League, but also thought it might be fun to do a World Cup Prediction League this summer. A little under a month away, but I thought I'd post it now while fresh in my mind.

This is the format I've settled on:
Group Stage:
For each group, pick the top 2 teams to advance to the knockout stage for each group. If you pick them in correct order, you get three points. If you just pick a team correctly you get one point.

Example:
Group A - Uruguay, Egypt

If Uruguay finish first, I would get three points for predicting that they'll advance as well as predicting their place in the group table. If Uruguay finished second, I would get one for correctly picking them to advance.

Knockout Stage:
This will be run like our regular prediction league. I'll post the matches, pick the results and the first goal scorer of the match. If you correctly predict the result and score, you'll get three points. If you correctly predict just the result, you'll get one. Correctly predict the first goalscorer, and you'll get a "goal differential" point.

Thoughts? I'll post an official WC Prediction Thread as we get closer.

Hard to believe we've done six seasons of it already. I imagine we might get a little more participation next year due to us being back in the Prem. We'll see. Thanks for everyone that participates! It's been a fun exercise and I plan on continuing it in the future.
