World Cup 2014 Predictor Tournament

[WKblue]

OK Guys,

I'm starting a tournament on here (just a bit of fun) to see who is the best predictor! Tried it on the GOT forum but without much success.

I need a minimum of four entrants (including myself, so three more) if this is going to go ahead.

The Telegraph has a wallchart predictor whereby you predict the scores of all 64 World Cup games. You then have the option of sharing the predictions via a unique URL.

My predictions are here:

HOW TO ENTER THE WORLD CUP PREDICTOR TOURNAMENT

Then reply to this thread with the unique predictions URL you are given.

I'll log the predictions, results and scores and you'll be in with a shot of winning... free internetz? Or maybe a pint of Chang courtesy of moi, somewhere... I dunno. Unless I win then I'll get myself one.

SCORING

Spot on prediction = 5 Points
Correct result, wrong score = 2 Points
Wrong prediction = Minus 1 Point

ELIMINATION:

After game 48, the following entrants are eliminated depending on nu

Cheers man, now we just need two more people!

I'll do it, but I don't see the point until the apparent bugs are fixed. I mean, what the **** is the deal with the last 16? teams that have lost, or are not even there, are going through to the next round :?

So I'm in, but I'm leaving it for a short while to see if they correct the errors. Talking of errors WKBlue, I've correct the link in your post because it was showing that your predictions page didn't exist.

[WKblue]

Yeah I noticed that as well.

For the knockout phase, worst case we can just put our predictions down here.

Just as an extra twist, I'll also add "multipliers" to the rules.

For the group stage everyone gets 1 Ace and 5 Jokers.

That way if you are trailing badly and looking at elimination, you can play it last minute.

*Ace = multiplies score by 20
*Joker = multiplies score by 5

Be sure to nominate games in good time!

Participants can enter at any stage, but obviously it's a lot less hassle if we have numbers before the World Cup starts.

So, who's winning this so far ?

Come om Guys, let's have some more joining in :)

[WKblue]

Since my last post the good people over at GOT have finally woken up and we now have 11 entrants, meaning this is on like Donkey Kong!

The multipliers have been scrapped but the elimination spots are still part of it.

alan_stubbs and notnever. The league table doesn't make good reading for you two right now!

Both of you said Greece would get a draw.

I'm sorry to say that my tournament is being treated with ill deserved contempt by the organiser of the much-more-successful "GOT Tipster"... heretics! - view external link (http://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/world-cup-2014-predictor-got-forum-tournament.67048/page-2)

My scores are all to cock. I had England not getting out of the Group, now it says they'll come Runners Up :?

According to what's now showing, I predicted there to be 15 draws in the first 16 group matches and that the France-Honduras game would end 4-4


WKblue is clearly on the fix.. ******* !

notnever - chill winston! You're currently sitting pretty in 5th place. No immediate danger of elimination.

That honour goes to Alan_Stubbs, who currently props up the table with an amazing 2 points from a possible 130!

Me fifth place ?

Deffo fixed !




Put the table link on here, I want to see Stubbs sucking bottom

Much obliged - here's the latest

This has to be the worst game ever XD How can teams play 3 yet win 1 draw 2 and lose 2 etc. :? The goal tallies and points don't even make sense.

After this World Cup Predictions shambles, the question is: Are you going to resign Mr. WKblue? :P

The darn thing is Stubbsy, you actually got more points for the predictions I have you down for than the ones you list here.

So, who's winning this so far ?

No idea mate...


I believe the winner is the first person to work out what is actually happening.

Stubbsy and notnever, you'll never guess what - you're BOTH out!

Clearly rigged in order to kick out us two non grand-old-teamers.

Racists

[WKblue]

Clearly not - remember, I always put the following days predictions so everyone has a reference point if people want to moan about fixing.

You were relatively safe on the penultimate day of the group stages.

It was you who decided that the mighty South Korea would be held to a draw by those unknown upstarts Belgium while everyone else predicted a win, thus knocking you into the red zone.

Kiwi's prediction of a Alg-Rus draw then finished the job!

Covering your ass with made up stats won't help you WKblue.. You're just making the hole bigger.


I've sent my report FIFA, you'll not get away with this.

If the Cameroonians can do it so can I




I'm working towards achieving a clean 2018 prediction competition.
