I'm hoping to run the World Cup Predicta, if anyone is interested in playing? Unless anyone else was thinking of running it? Misterhamster, as I dont want to step on any toes.

So first, second and third rounds are 14 games, shall I pick 10 from them, or use all 14, what are people's thoughts that play footy predicta? I'm thinking pick 10 from the 14 games?

The whole tournament's 64 games over the course of a month. I don't see why we need to leave anything out.

And where did the number 14 come from? There's 48 group games. Easy to divide that up into lots of 8 or 12 games.

If it was my call I'd split the three sets of (16) Group round matches into 6 sets of 8 splits to predict.
Then I assume: Last 16 (8 * 2nd Round Matches) Predict 8-1 (after 90 mins) Last 8 (4 * Quarter Final Matches) Predict 8-5 (after 90 mins) Last 4 (2 * Semi Final matches) Predict 8-7 (after 90 mins) Final & 3rd Place Play Off - Predict 8-7 (after 90 mins)
But what you could do to make things more interesting is get posters to Predict in advance of the tournament: The Winners, Runners Up; Losing Semi Finals; Losing Quarter Finalists, etc and awarding them points if their prediction is correct:
As an example:
1st 200 Pts 2nd 125 Pts SF Loser: 75 Pts QF Loser: 40 Pts Last 16 Loser: 20 Pts
So if you predicted Brazil to win the tournament, but they get knocked out in the QF's you score 40 Points; and if you predicted the Netherlands to make the Quarter Finals, but they go on to win the World Cup then you can only score a maximum of 40 Points as that is the ceiling of your prediction for that team .....

For comparison purposes, in 2010 we predicted on all the group games, with no weighting and 2 points per correct prediction. Everyone also had a joker to play for one group that gave them double points for that group. For the knockout stages, it followed regular predicta rules, with weightings of 8, 6, 4 and 2 for the quarters and 8 and 4 for the semis, final and 3rd place playoff. By the end, I think there were only 10 points separating the top 3.

I'll be playing.
Maybe we could have a competition that predicts the whole tournament in advance, and another that predicts each match as the games progress.

2 points per prediction sounds good to me, as does the idea to split up predicting who will be 1st 2nd 3rd.

I've got a week off work next week, so I should be able to come up with a thread by the middle of next week.
