tuniscof 152 Posted January 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Prediction Contests Are Just-For-Fun Games You don't need to be an expert to take part in a Prediction Contest. If a mistake penalizes you, always keep in mind that everyone is in good faith. Competition Details City Various Cities Start Date February 4th, 2017 End Date March 18th, 2017 Participants 21 Gold hckosice Silver Ufilov Bronze Henry_Leon Instructions In order to post your predictions, you have to do the following: Select with your mouse specified content of the Post named Prediction Contest Design Copy the selected content Go to Reply Box at the end of the Page, click on "Reply to this topic" Paste the copied content ( When information "You have pasted content with formatting" appears at the end of the Reply Box, ignore it, it will disappear eventually. 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 goal difference for each match. To do that, you have to write in empty Cell a number - goal difference for each match. If your prediction is that Team 1 is going to win, you should type goal difference in appropriate Cell of T1 Column. If your prediction is that Team 2 is going to win, then type goal difference in appropriate Cell of T2 Column. If your prediction is that the match will end in a draw, then type a 0 in either T1 or T2 Cell (or in both, if you wish). Examples Week 1 Date and Venue Team 1 T1 T2 Team 2 February 4th 2017, h. 14:25, Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh Scotland 4 Ireland February 4th 2017, h. 16:50, Twickenham Stadium, London England 0 France Scoring system: Basic number of points is 10 If you predict right winner for a match, you will get 10 points regardless of the goal difference. If your prediction is perfect (correct winner + correct goal difference) you will earn 10+20=30 points. Depending on difference between your prediction and actual result, earned points will differ. Example A Week 1 Date and Venue Team 1 T1 T2 Team 2 February 4th 2017, h. 14:25, Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh Scotland 4 Ireland If Scotland wins by 9, you will earn 25 points [10 pts for correct winner + 15 pts for goal difference: (20-5)] If Scotland wins by 4, you will earn 30 points [10 pts for correct winner + 20 pts for goal difference] If Scotland wins by 25, you will earn 10 points [10 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for goal difference: (20-21) - no negative points] If Ireland wins by 1, you will earn 15 points [0 pts for correct winner + 15 pts for goal difference: (20-5)] If Ireland wins by 16 or more, you will earn 0 points [0 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for goal difference: (20-20)] Example B Week 1 Date and Venue Team 1 T1 T2 Team 2 February 4th 2017, h. 16:50, Twickenham Stadium, London England 0 France If the match ends in a draw, you will earn 30 points automatically. If either team wins by 1, you will earn 19 points [0 pts for correct winner + 19 pts for goal difference: (20-1)] If either team wins by 20 or more, you will earn 0 points [0 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for goal difference] 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: 3x30, 2x29, 2x28, 2x27 Contestant 2: 3x30, 2x29, 2x28, 1x27 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. In order to earn points from the start, you should post your predictions before the start of the first match of the Tournament - February 4th, h. 14:25 (GMT).
