With the Group Stage over, I think a score update is in order :)

For the knockout rounds, how are we going to score draws? Same as usual, but you also state your overall winner and how (extra time or penalties) and get a bonus point if you get that right? e.g. you could predict: Germany 0 - 0 Sweden with Germany to win on penalties, and if that happens you get 3 as usual for the 0 - 0 scoreline and 1 more for the final winner?

So, if you predict a result after 90 minutes:
3 for result
or 1 for winner (awarded even if winner goes through on penalties/extra time)

If you predict draw after 90 minutes:
3 for result
or 1 for the draw (in case of a draw with incorrect amount of goals)
+ 1 for winner (awarded if correct winner written down, even in case of winner going through after 90 minutes)

Sounds a bit complicated, but I think I can manage that (if anyone else understood it, that is :unsure: )

Yeah, something like that. We just predict the result after 90 minutes. If we predict a draw, then we also write down who we expect to go through after extra time/penalties, and if you get that right you get +1 point.

Say you predict 0-0 between Germany and Sweden with Germany to go through on penalties. If the score after 90 minutes is 0-0, you get 3 like usual. If it is a draw but your predicted score is wrong, you get 1 like usual. If Germany go on to win on penalties you 1 more point, but if Sweden go on to win on penalties you don't get the extra point.

What do you think about extra time wins? Should the people who predicted a win get the points? e.g. you predict 1-0 to Germany. The score after 90 minutes is 0-0, but Germany win 1-0 after extra time. Should they get 3 points? 0? Or 1? I think we should keep our main predictions for scores after 90 minutes, 'cause it will probably keep things simpler.

So yeah, I think you've got the right idea. I'm confusing myself here :confused:

Eyes not spreadsheets
I think just predict at 90 minutes - otherwise those who don't predict a draw get a double whammy in effect.

Besides which, that's the way bookmakers pay out...

Germany 2 Sweden 0
Argentina 2 Mexico 0


For tomorrow as I'm unlikely to get back on in time:

England 2 Ecuador 0
Portugal 1 Holland 1
