Maybe having no clue about the point system makes me suck so bad in these contests  

 

You weren't that bad when you first joined the forum, I remember well. I think you already won one competition (or was among top 3) at the very first (or second) prediction contest  I managed those

As the Dutch saying (sort of) goes: "I've shot all my bullets" in those early competitions, now I'm all out

if you predicted A 4-0 B and it was A 0-4 B you get big fat zero  if you predicted A 1-0 B but it was A 1-2 B at the end, you get that one point

 

I actually like this system and, as someone said, it makes for a nice consolation prize. Not everyone gets the goal difference right... For example, I predicted ENG-PAN as a +7 win for England, and now I can't even remember why I had such high hopes.

While we're here, any chance we'll have a prediction contest for Artistic Gymnastics Worlds this year?
