ETF2L World Cup Predictions League

ETF2L World Cup Predictions Game

After Swarley bugged me about it for weeks, I’ve decided to run a predictions competition during the World Cup 2010.

It’s a pretty simple competition and you can enter it at any time, but obviously if you were to start your predictions from today you will have the chance to win more points as you will be able to predict the results of more matches.

**ALL** Predictions should be entered into this forum thread!

How does it work?

Each day, you will be able to predict the scores for that day’s world cup matches. You simply hit reply on the forum thread, type in your predictions and you’re done :) All predictions must be received one hour before the start of the day’s world cup matches, otherwise they will not be counted.

How do I earn points?

The points system is very simple:
Correct score – 3 points
Correct result – 1 point

As an example, if I predict France v Uruguay 2-0, and the score is 3-1 to France, I get 1 point. If the score had finished 2-0, I would have received 3 points.

There are also 5 bonus point competitions which are only open until 15CET on 11th June:

1) Top Goalscorer in the World Cup

2) Total Goals in the World Cup

3) First Red Card

4) Player of the Tournament

5) First Hat-Trick

Guessing any of the 5 bonus point competitions correctly will earn you a 10 point bonus to your score at the end of the month.

Can I win anything?

There will be a small mystery prize for the winner on behalf of myself :] The most satisfaction you’ll get though, is being able to gloat over everyone else in ETF2L.

Good luck to everyone, your predictions start…..now!

**ALL** Predictions should be entered into this forum thread!

P.S. If you like Fantasy Football games and choosing your own players, Dougie is organising a Fantasy Football competition here.

    Just to re-iterate, please don’t put any predictions as a comment to this news post. They should be entered into the forum thread only. Thanks and good luck :)

    If we miss one game are we out? I mean, do we need to be active for every match result? Say I miss one, but predict all the others, thats still cool yeah?

    Not at all :)

    There’s no ongoing commitment mate!

    You just predict when you want to, but those who have the most predictions _should_ have a better chance of winning!

    Is it ok to submit a few predictions at once (say, the first 16 matches). Also, do you have to make a new post for every new set of predictions?

    I’d take the paint any day tbh

    Volkmar – We’ll do the Saturday & Sunday games together :)

    And yes, please make a new post for each separate set of matches. Makes it much easier to count!
