Welcome to the FIFA World Cup 2006 Prediction League. We will use the same point system as in EURO 2004:
For Wins/Losses
Example Match: Portugal vs. Brazil (Result - 3:1)
- Exact Score and Correct Outcome (3:1) --> 3 Points
- Goal-Differential Score and Correct Outcome (2:0; 4:2; 6:4) --> 2 Points
- Correct Outcome, but wrong Goal-Difference (1:0; 4:1; 2:1) --> 1 Point
- Wrong Outcome (1:1, 2:3, 0:2, 1:3) --> 0 Points
For Draws
Example Match: Togo vs. Spain (Result - 2:2)
- Exact Draw (2:2) --> 4 Points
- Predicted a Draw, but wrong score (1:1; 0:0, 4:4) --> 2 Points
- No Draw Predicted (3:0, 2:4) --> 0 Points
I doubt that I can run this PL since I might be travelling away during the World Cup, so if anyone wants to take over and run it, please let me know.
