Right, well, I don’t know who exactly is going to be interested in this, but I thought I’d post it anyway and we’d find out. Basically, each week I’ll pick out a certain number of matches, and everyone who wants to posts their predictions for those games. The person with the highest number of points after the final wins.
Points are awarded as follows:
-
2 points for correctly predicting how many goals a team will score.
Example: If you predict Portugal will score once, and they do, then you get two points. -
1 point for predicting the correct match outcome.
Example: Portugal win, Greece win, or draw. -
2 points if you predict the a score that turns out to be the wrong way around.
Example: If you predict the score Portugal 2 Greece 1 but the real score turns out to be Portugal 1 Greece 2, you get two points.
Number of matches per “week”:
12/06 - 18/06: Nine
19/06 - 23/06: Six
24/06 - 27/06: All four Quarter Finals
30/06 - 01/07: Both Semi Finals
04/07: The final
Obviously you don’t have to post your predictions for every game, but the more you predict the more points you can get =P Predictions for a game must be posted an hour before the match itself.
This weeks matches:
Note: All times are Portuguese local times, and your predictions must be posted one hour before them. This site should allow you to work out the time differences.
