|
|
I've knocked together a World Cup Prediction competition which I thought might be a bit of fun for everybody on here.
A nice bit of friendly rivalry between the different nations taking part.
Feel free to have a look at the site here and ignore any references to fees and prize money. _________________ Lead on adventurer, your quest awaits. |

I registered! But My account is "not yet active"... do I wait for an email?
What's this you say? A soccer (LOL) fan in America? Crazy I know... but it's my second favorite sport, after baseball. I'm sure I'm not as knowledgable as some, but I gotta think Brazil wins. Ronaldinho, plus the Italians dealing with a scandal, equals another win for the juggernaut.
Of course I'm picking America to win it all, because GOOOOO USA!!! _________________ Just repeat to yourself "It's just a show! I should really just relax!" (la la la!) |

I predict that it'll involve some people playing football at some point.
More than that and I'd be clutching at straws |

Like the game mistermickster and nice idea but there's only one problem in your fine construction - the quarter finals bring the wrong teams together!
Teams that met in the group stage should not be able to meet again until the final. Using the notation; S=semifinal, Q=quarterfinal, W=group winner, R=group runner up, / = or.
The semis should be
S1=Q1 vs Q2 and S2=Q3 vs Q4
where the quarter should be
Q1=WA/RBvWC/RD
Q2=WE/RFvWG/RH
Q3=WB/RAvWD/RC
Q4=WF/REvWH/RG
Hopefully you'll get a chance to update your logic and notify users before the QFs kick off!!
All the best GMJ |

I'm going to pull the plug on this due to lack of interest.
I really thought more people might have a go. _________________ Lead on adventurer, your quest awaits. |
