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.

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. There cannot be 0 as point difference in any of the matches.

Example Group A Date & Time (GMT +3) Nation 1 T1 T2 Nation 2 May 21st 2021, h. 16:15 ROC 3 Czech Republic Scoring System: Basic number of points is 7 If you predict right winner for a match or a draw, you will get 7 points regardless of the goal difference. If your prediction is perfect (correct winner + correct goal difference or a draw) you will earn 7+5=12 points. Depending on difference between your prediction and actual result, earned points will differ. Example Group A Date & Time (GMT +3) Nation 1 T1 T2 Nation 2 May 21st 2021, h. 16:15 ROC 3 Czech Republic If ROC wins by 3, you will earn 12 points [7 pts for correct winner + 5 pts for point difference] If ROC wins by 1, you will earn 10 points [7 pts for correct winner + 3 pts for point difference] If ROC wins by 8, you will earn 7 points [7 pts for correct winner + 0 pts for point difference] If Czech Republic wins by 1, you will earn 1 point [0 pts for correct winner + 1 pts for point difference] If Czech Republic 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.

Example Contestant 1: 3x12, 2x11, 2x10 Contestant 2: 3x12, 2x11, 1x10 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.

I have come to conclusion that I will not risk it and take a guess. I would like to stop and keep my points. This was very short. I had hoped there came a question I could answer, but I'm satisfied with my points total.

My parents has almost subconsciously feeded me with ABBA through my childhood years. I have listened to ABBA so many times. We even watch the Mamma Mia musical in Paris when we were there at one of our holdiays. It was in Frence so I understood nothing, but the music was nice. With all this said, I'm familiar with many of their songs, but I have holes when it comes to their discography. I know this phrase is not in Fernando and Chiquitita. That leaves to options left. I'm not familiar with The Piper and Cassandra. Or I can't remember the lyrics. I'm really in doubt if I should take a chance or stop now, as it's 50:50.

@Quasit I'm ready

I was talking with my girlfriend over Skype, so I forgot time. Plus I had to watch our women's 4x100m.

Sorry for the small delay. I'm now ready to finish my round.

Nigeria has also opted out. The reason for this decision leaves many questions, to say at least.

Chula Vista High Performance #2, Chula Vista, CA Men's Decathlon Harrison Williams - 8439 https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes/united-states/harrison-williams-14563272

Saturday would be good.

The 4x100m women's relay will be another team that will not start at the World Relays this weekend. The main reason being that two of their runners suffer from muscular issues after a training camp in Spain. Also the current pandemic was taking in account. The 4x100m women's relay is already qualified for Tokyo. https://www.leichtathletik.de/news/news/detail/74738-flash-news-des-tages

Yes, his time is in valid wind. He is the first athlete from Saint Kitts and Nevis to earn a quota for Tokyo.

I would be fine with continuing as long as possible to end it tonight, but the forum is very unstable. It would be best to continue next time when it's more stable.

Oh nice! Thanks for the help, @mrv86
