How about if not to much trouble, you don't put the guesses up until you post the results with the predictions and how many points were won I.e. post everything at the same time, that way its more of a surprise for each player??

Just a thought.

No idea why notifications aren't working. As long as you can get them in before next match at 7pm that should be OK - if in a rush just send me the predictions for that match and do the rest before 3 tomorrow.
Yes sorry, I can't do them all yet. I haven't looked at Frankie's and don't mind him changing any of his if he wants.

If you want ALL you predictions to count then you have to put them in by the deadline. If you miss it for one reason or other then you can still post the rest of your predictions before the next match but not the one you missed.
So you didn't count my France game and won't count the game this evening?

Thank you, half time score... although half time the score was 1-1
Was the prediction of my opponent not 0-0? How does that get 1 point and I get 0? Just want to understand
Thanks

For half time you get a point for correct result and two for correct score. In this case if the prediction had been 1-1 they would receive 2 points, however, they predicted 0-0, the match being drawn at half time therefore get a single point.

Same thing occurs at full time, in this case you predicted the outcome would be a French victory, albeit 2-1, therefore you recieved 2 points, if you had predicted the correct result, 4-3, you would score 5

Gotcha!
Thanks for the clarification. At this stage of the tournament I should really know by now!

How does the time of first goal work regarding extra time etc? For example, if you thought there would be no goals, and put no goal, would you be right if it's 0-0 after 90 minutes? Or would you be wrong if there's a goal in extra time? Or would you be wrong if there's a goal in penalties?

Because I can assure you there will be a goal in all of these matches at some point.


And also, is the YC and RC count up until 90 minutes, or do you count the cards in extra time?

If you think the first goal will be in extra time then put the time, see a couple of predictions for the Uruguay match last night, mine in particular where I didn't think a goal would be scored until the 107th minute.

Penalties are not counted for first goal.

Yellow and reds count for the whole match including extra time if played.
