Guest The Architect Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) Your oracle business started going down the gutter as soon as you said you should start one. And I want to change my Russia-Sweden prediction to a "2-1" win to Sweden. If Sweden win 3-2 then I'm going to get angry and hunt you all down.

Guest The Architect Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Lets say, for example, Italy win 2-1 in extra time, would you still get the 3pts even if you don't predict them winning in extra time but get the correct score line? I assume so because no one's put AET in their predictions but that might be because no one's made any, so I'm just making sure.

Tigranes Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 That's a good point, and to be honest, I'm not sure how it's normally done. It's too close to the first game time for most people to change that prediction, so I will go ahead and say that all scores indicate the final score and result, including shoot-outs (if you predict 2-1 and they win on penalties after 1-1, you get it right). Hildegaard will, in this way, have a chance to change his Spain result. I just think it's best for everyone to predict the eventual result. We can do things differently for semifinals if you find a big problem with this, but I think we should go with that for QFs. Sorry guys, thanks for the heads up Architect.

Guest The Architect Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) No worries, but I think we should do it this way: Predict a penalty shoot-out and the right winner = 3pts Predict the correct score = 3pts, obviously. Predict the right result but not the correct score = 1pt. Predict the wrong result = **** all, obviously. If you predict a 2-1 score, the score finishes up AET as 1-1 and the team you predicted to win wins the shoot-out, then you shouldn't get 3pts because you didn't get the right score line, just the right result. And last of all: Predict the correct score but not as an extra time predicted score = 2pts And a correctly predicted score line in extra time = 3pts. How does that sound?

Atreides Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Sounds complicated. How about just predicting score after 90 mins? If it's a draw it's a draw.

Tigranes Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Back in town and with updated scores. Most of us got pretty much everything wrong, but not so with Diogo, who is now pulling clear on 17 points. Semis format: Germany [] - Turkey [] Spain [] - Russia [] Finally, since hardly anyone picked up on the Top Goalscorer thing, we'll drop it.

Tigranes Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well, uh - everybody gets 1 point! With Turkey though, we should have realised it would be a crazy score.

Tigranes Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Alright, Diogo Ribeiro did not move this turn but seems to have won: but second place is very close, and the final shoudl be worth it.
