    Arrow World Cup 2022 Prediction League

    World Cup 2022 Prediction League

    The 2022 World Cup kicks off on November 20th and, by popular(ish) demand, there will be a corresponding PL competition and, as ever, all are more than welcome to play - the more diverse the merrier!

    The "official" home for this competition is the Leeds United Mad website, but it will also have entrants from elsewhere (assuming they remember and can be bothered).

    The format of the competition is simple in its, errrr, simplicity...

    Fixtures will be posted according to the day on which they are scheduled to be played.

    For the purposes of this competition, the first listed team is the "home" side, the second is the "away" side.


    For the Group Stage

    Your job is to predict the finishing scoreline for each fixture at the end of the regulation ninety minutes PRIOR to the game kicking off.

    If you predict the correct outcome (e.g. you predict a 2-1 home win and the home team wins 4-1), you score three points.

    If you predict the exact scoreline (i.e. if you had predicted a 4-1 home win in the game above) you pick up an additional three points.

    No points will be awarded in the event of an incorrect outcome or a late/missed prediction.

    There are therefore six points potentially available for each Group Stage fixture.


    For the Knock-out Stage

    As with the Group Stage, your initial job is to predict the finishing scoreline for each fixture at the end of the regulation ninety minutes PRIOR to the games kicking off, with scoring mirroring that of the Group stage.

    In addition to the regulation ninety minute scoreline, you should also predict which team will be deemed the official winner of the match. This is especially relevant if you have predicted a "regulation" draw.

    This need not logically correspond with any "regulation" scoreline prediction (although it will be assumed to be the same, unless explicitly stated otherwise).

    If you correctly predict the winning team, you score three bonus points.

    No bonus points will be awarded in the event of a late or missed prediction.

    There are therefore nine points potentially available for each Knock-out Stage fixture.


    Once the daily matches conclude, the results of the predictions will be posted as a league table.

    The poster with the most points after the final fixture will be deemed the winner and will get a shiny new trophy to metaphorically or literally wave in front of their chums and foes.

    In the event of a tie at the top at the end of the competition, the winner of the trophy will be determined by, in order:

    1) The most correct outcomes
    2) The closest to the total number of predicted goals scored in regulation play (i.e. during the ninety minute games BEFORE any additional time that might be needed in the knock-out phase of the competition).
    3) The competitor with the biggest ti...


    Easy, eh?


    Okay, here's some fine print:-

    This is a FREE competition and ALL are eligible to enter.

    Unless advised to the contrary, there will be fixtures listed for EVERY game on a daily basis up to and including the final.

    Postponed or abandoned fixtures will not count for scoring purposes (unlikely, but this is being played in Qatar!).

    New posters are allowed to join at any time from zero points.



    If you still have any questions (well done for reading this far!), please feel free to fire away and I'll help if I can!

    I hope to see both old and new faces alike.


    The first set of fixtures will be in a thread entitled "2022 World Cup PL - Fixture for Sunday 20th November".

    Good luck!

    It should be up in its entirety, but I can't rule out any operator errors, especially as some of the games seem to be numbered weirdly by FIFA in the first place!

    If you spot any errors, let me know and I'll correct them.

    Ta!

    Separate competition.

    Don’t need to be in the “regular” one to enter either.
