DO NOT click on "Remove formatting" under any circumstances) Once you have specified content in new Post, start making your predictions according to the Rules To post your predictions, click on "Submit Reply" button Rules For this Prediction Contest you are predicting point difference for each match. To do that, you have to write in empty Cell a number - point difference for each match. If your prediction is that Nation 1 is going to win, you should type point difference in appropriate Cell of T1 Column. If your prediction is that Nation 2 is going to win, then type point difference in appropriate Cell of T2 Column. In case you think the match is going to end with a tie (draw), type 0 in any of the corresponding Cells. There cannot be 0 as point difference in the Quarterfinals, Semfinals and Medal Matches and result after overtime/penalties will be counted as final result. Example Group A Date & Time (GMT +1) Nation 1 T1 T2 Nation 2 December 1st 2023, h. 18:00 Croatia 8 Senegal Scoring System: Basic number of points is 10 If you predict right winner for a match or a draw, you will get 10 points regardless of the goal difference. If your prediction is perfect (correct winner + correct goal difference or a draw) you will earn 10+10 = 20 points. Depending on difference between your prediction and actual result, earned points will differ. Example Group A Date & Time (GMT +1) Nation 1 T1 T2 Nation 2 December 1st 2023, h. 18:00 Croatia 8 Senegal If Croatia wins by 8, you will earn 20 points [10 pts for correct winner + 10 pts for point difference] If Croatia wins by 3, you will earn 15 points [10 pts for correct winner + 5 pts for point difference] If Croatia wins by 19, you will earn 10 points [10 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for point difference] If Senegal wins by 1, you will earn 1 point [0 pts for correct winner + 1 pts for point difference] If Senegal wins by 2 or more, you will earn 0 points [0 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for point difference] Top 3 Prediction points will be awarded as follow: Correct Predicted 1st Place will be awarded 10 points Correct Predicted 2nd Place will be awarded 7,5 points Correct Predicted 3rd Place will be awarded 5 points Corrected Predicted Nation in Top 3, but wrong place will be awarded 2 points TB Rules If two or more contestants have the same number of points at the end, Tie-Break rule will be applied to break the tie. Number or perfect predictions throughout the contest will be compared for the involved contestants. If they are still tied, number of second best scores will be compared, then number of third best results and so on. Example Contestant 1: 3x20, 2x19, 2x18, 2x17 Contestant 2: 3x20, 2x19, 2x18, 1x17 Contestant 1 will be placed ahead of Contestant 2. Contestant with most points wins the competition. The Ranking is determined by the Sum of Points the Contestant scores in all predicted Matches and Top 3 Predictions. You can enter the Contest whenever you want. The moment you post your predictions is the moment when you are entering the Contest and your points will be calculated for all the matches you predicted AND which haven't started. In order to earn points from the start, you should post your predictions before the start of the first match of the Championship - November 29th, h. 18:00 (GMT +1). You can EDIT your predictions whenever you want until the start of the first match of the Prediction Design Post.
