World Cup Predictor ????

[tm4tj]

Some predictor busters over the last weekend :010:

TEAMS                            HT----FT----TOTAL POINTS WON

Czech Rep -  Ghana      0:1--- 0:2    55

France  -  South Korea 1:0 ---1:1    365

Japan  -  Croatia          0:0---0:0    410

Italy  -  USA                  1:1--- 1:1    345

This world cup predictor is shect,eh keep putting  the correct score in then the teams come out and put the wrong scores in.

Guess eh'm no gonna cause any bookies sleepless nights  :sleep01:

[+Gringo]

I keep getting done by late goals (and disallowed late goals). Had a bad day yesterday though.

[Mee]

For the knockout stages, will the FT score be counted as

A - the score after normal time or

B - the score after possible extra time or

C - the score after possible penalties ?

[Scotty]

For the knockout stages, will the FT score be counted as

B - the score after possible extra time or

C - the score after possible penalties ?

Excellent question MEE - and one I hadnt thought of in advance. Having considered how the bookies do it, and how Gringo does it in the NPL, I think I will stick with the convention of awarding points based on the score after 90 minutes. Extra-Time and Penalties will therefore NOT COUNT.

[Mee]

Cheers Scotty - it only occurred to me as I put in a draw for the England - Ecuador match  :001:

[Mee]

Well done Mannie for breaking the 1000 point barrier!  :notworthy01:

[tm4tj]

**** **** ****, was in Glasgow today and did not get my scores posted.

Missed the Gemany and Argentina games.

[Heilandee]

Done the same Manny,filled in scores up to qauls and forgot to start next round , just as well for you or eh'd have been right up there wi you!!( if eh'd got 300 points for Argentina)

Heilandee......probably the worst predictor of scores in the universe  :019:

[Harry Chibber]

not a lot innit tm4tj and only 4 games to go....

not the best quarter finals for me but looking for an improvement in the final 2 stages. 

The gloves are off :016:

My pre NPL season training is going well so far. Had a bad result last night the French but I reckon I can pull this one off with four games left. Its going to be tight.

[tm4tj]

Last few games were poor scorers apart from a 50 pointer for Germany Argentina draw.

Frogs were the biggest upset for me, 5 pointer, strangely enough I thought about altering my post to a draw, but left it at 2-0 to Brazil. Semis all European affairs, could be unpredictable, but here are my predictions.....

uh oh.....hel..... si nal is get ing w ak.....losing con ec ion........Germny  -  Ita y and Por ug l  -  Fr n e.

Should be enough to keep me ahead of you guys.

enjoy

[Harry Chibber]

right well I had 0-0 halftime but 1-0 to Germany fulltime... how'd you all get on??

[tm4tj]

are ye starting to sweat Hairy............................. :015:

[Mee]

Ive had p1sh scores for all the knockout games  :019:

[Harry Chibber]

are ye starting to sweat Hairy............................. :015:

just checking that's all :015:

[tm4tj]

So chibberooney, down to the last game, and Scotty is keeping the results close to his chest. Must be some match fixing going on.  I was hoping to see the results in before the final, then I could have played for a draw, but who knows I may be behind now? :010:

game on

[CaleyD]

Updated for ya Manny - looks like they were fixing matches cause your now 5 points behind the leader.

[tm4tj]

tm4tj, arms outstretched like a Lancaster bomber on a mission, pulls his T shirt over his head and sprints round the house........across the living room, into the hall, up the stairs and round the bedrooms, back downstairs through the kitchen and dives full length across the conservatory floor, coming up just short of the aviary doors, the cockatiels scattering madly as if joining in the frenzied celebrations..............the sweet taste of success lingering on his now moist lips, his tingling brain writing the victory speech ( I'd like to thank my manager, and praising Hairy Chipper and gringo for making a fist of it up to the last game) and anyone else who knows me, beads of sweat forming on his now moistened brow he recalls every game, every goal and every kick of the ball, the memories will stay with him forever, then without warning the eerie silence is broken with a shrill voice penetrating his mind..............go and get dressed ya stupid old git and get the kettle on...................Mrs m4tj and zogg, staring in bewilderment at this prostrate being lost in the moment and wondering what will happen when the world cup ends, where will he get his fix................ :017:

[Harry Chibber]

well done m8

like the murph's I'm not bitter! :008: :008:

[Scotty]

Well done to TM4TJ in holding off the challenge of Harry Chibber, Gringo and myself .... I was sunk by forgetting to predict a couple of the games late on so couldnt catch up .... not to mention being woefully unable to predict the scores in the latter stages whenre my points average was about 10, compared to 25-30 in the group stages

Anyhow, I have deleted the prediction league from the site now that the WC is over but attached to this message is a screenshot of the final standings

[+Gringo]

Many congratulations to TM4TJ in winning this contest.  :clapping04: :clapping04: :clapping04:

I let myself down in the later stages by against 'my rules' and shot myself in the foot - having said, I think TM4TJ was just out of reach anyway. I also enjoying my battle with Harry and Scotty for the runners up spot - well done Harry, you were just that bit better.

Thanks also the Scotty for running the contest which kept the interest in the WC alive for many. A great game and all good preparation for the forthcoming NPL (wonder if I can get as points in that one...)

[Harry Chibber]

really enjoyed this and will be looking forward to the NPL. 

Gringo is your predictor league going to be run with a similar type system so the predictions are masked??

[+Gringo]

Unfortunately not Harry. Not sure if its possible to do either - I don't have that power I'm afraid.

The NPL will be the same format as previous season's with a few 'tweaks' here and there.
