Now that you are all rested from having time off from the Premier League Prediction League, I will be running a World Cup 2018 themed League.

The format will be as follows.

3 sets of fixtures will be put up prior to the start of the competition for each round of group fixtures to predict the scorelines and the first goalscorer.

The second round fixtures would then be posted.
Then the quarter finals
Semi Finals
Final and Third Place Play off.

Points scoring will be as per the Premier League Prediction Contest (1 point for a correct result, 3 points for a correct result & scoreline and 3 points for correctly predicting the first goalscorer - Maximum points of 6 per fixture) As an added bonus you can predict the winner of the tournament before it starts and if you do so you will receive 10 points, 5 points for a losing finalist and 3 points for a losing semi-finalist. Results count only up to the end of normal time but the first goalscorer can be in extra time if played. The first penalty of a penalty shoot out will not count as the first goal scorer in a game.

Just to let you know that even if you think that there will be goalless draw you should still enter a first goalscorer. It gives you a chance of picking up 3 points if your prediction is wrong whereas no points are awarded for there being no goalscorer.

Amendments are allowed to your predictions prior to the first match of a round of fixtures kicking off on your initial prediction post. Amendments after this are allowed but must be in a separate post.

The three rounds of group fixtures will be posted as separate threads. You will also need to choose your winner of the tournament with the first round of group fixtures.

All are welcome to join.

If you have any questions then please feel free to put them in this thread.
 
I'll have a go.

The opening post says that all are welcome although I must correct you my honourable forum friend. You took part in the last World Cup prediction league!

A note to all that it's best to check your own scores after they have been done, as I'm sure Mr Towner and Mr Parkin will vouch that I am prone to the odd error.
 
Won't be doing this this time as not around for the whole show & will end up missing enough to leave me well out of challenging

Agree that you will need to check your scores though :icon_smile:
