Rules

For this Prediction Contest you are predicting the result (Win of either Team or Draw/Tie) for each match.

To do that, you have to write in the empty Cells the number of goals each team will score in that particular match. If your prediction is that Nation 1 is going to score 3 goals, you should type that number in appropriate Cell of T1 Column. If your prediction is that Nation 2 is going to score 1 goal, then type that number in appropriate Cell of T2 Column. From the Round of 16 onward, result at the end of eventual overtime (BEFORE penalties/shoot out) will count as final result.

Users/predictors will predict top goalscorers and top assists for each tournament. That is 4 additional predictions. Users pick two players for each of these additional predictions. Users rank/prioritise the two in each prediction. If the 1st choice player top the goalscoring list or equal with one or more players, the predictor will score 7.5 points. If the 2nd choice player top the goalscoring list or equal with one or more players, the predictor will score 5 points. These additional predictions will be made before the start of the first match of the prediction contest, August 5th, 18:55 (GMT +2).

Notice! Lewandowski and Haaland are both way in front on the top goalscorer list in UCL. Therefore they will both be excluded/not included in the top goalscorer prediction question in UCL. Users will be asked to predict which player will score most goals in UCL beside/not including Lewandowski and Haaland. In UEL, Galeno will also be excluded as a choice from the top assists list.

Example

UEFA Champions League - Top Goalscorer

Top Goalscorer (excl. Haaland and Lewandowski)	1st Choice	2nd Choice
August 5th 2020, h. 18:55 (GMT +2)	Country + Name	Country + Name

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: 10x5, 5x4, 5x3, 10x2

Contestant 2: 10x5, 5x4, 4x3, 11x2

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.

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.
