GOT World Cup 2018 Predictor - SUPER 8

[TGW89]

Ah right. I think I should possibly have 4 points then but not sure.

No, you're right, and I do apologise. In mitigation, I was on the rum and coke last night, so I'll take that into account for the next update.

Come on you Red Devils, keep it 3-0!

 

[TGW89]

Update: JLW clear at the top. Quite a few people screwed by Brazil and Germany being impotent.

 

[TGW89]

The first set of bonus points have been dished out - @JLW way out in front after Senegal and Japan got surprise wins that nobody predicted.



Though the points are reset after the completion of each group stage matchday, spot-on predictions are carried all the way through to the final, and used as a tiebreaker at all times.

In the event that there are two at the top with the same number of spot-ons come the end of the final, a countback system will be used. Whoever got the highest number of points from matches where a winning team ranked LOWER than the loser at the time of the draw on 1 December will be the winner.

If there is still no separating them.... they'll just have to share!

The latest - JLW looking good for another 15 point bonus right now! Also, I forgot to award myself two points for the Uruguay-Saudi game in the last update

 

[TGW89]

Bonus points added for Stage 2. @JLW and @barneygumble way out in front.

Next update will be Thursday night - Reason: Laziness

 

[TGW89]

OK, all the group games are now played and with bonus points added, this is how things stand - @Billy Dean currently top.



Please post or inbox your predictions for: (mine in brackets)

Uruguay v Portugal (2-1)
Spain v Russia (2-0)
France v Argentina (0-1)
Croatia v Denmark (1-2)
Brazil v Mexico (2-0) - Joker
Sweden v Switzerland (1-2)
Belgium v Japan (2-0) - Ace
Colombia v England (1-3)

- There are no more bonus points for the top eight after every round.
- Matches that go to penalties are considered a draw, if you think a match will be level after 120 minutes, there is no need to pick the penalty winner.
- Ace cards multiply your score by 5, Jokers by 2. You cannot combine two power cards on the same game. Please clearly state Ace or Joker next to the prediction of your choice.
- If you abstain from predicting, you will not lose points, but you will lose power cards - firstly your Jokers and then your Aces.
- If you want to withdraw at this point, please message me or just say "Out" here.

So 5 power cards and we can use when we see fit? So all 5 don't have to be used for the last 16 games and can be saved for quarters/semis/final?

Save them for any time you like.

For the benefit of everyone - power cards are to last you for the rest of the tournament. They do NOT replenish after every round.

It's early days, but here is the table as it stands after four games. Updates will be every other day from here on in.

Nobody has a spot-on prediction yet. Just to reiterate, the bonus points kick in after every stage.
