World Cup Correct Score Bonanza! The Predictor! With updates
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2006 9:41 pmWhile some of you may feel this should go under the Sport Chit Chat it has a local theme.
Anyway, over the next month or so I will work on a World Cup Correct Score and Winning Team spreadsheet which basically lists all the matches in the group stages and all the matches right through to the final.
We did this for the last World Cup in the Commerical and again 2 years ago for the European Championships. The last one was won by Archie Johnston who won £350, £50 to the runner up and we donated £100 to the local youth athletics group. Pretty much run out of the Comm so thanks to the regulars there!
Entry will be £10 and this time I was hoping we could get 100 people interested and donate 50% to a local charity and 50% goes to the winners. You have to guess each score in each group match and points are awarded on the basis of correct score, results, goals etc. Extra points are gained if you correctly guess who the winners and runners up of each group are. You then have to try and work out who will go through to the quarter finals, semi finals, final and be the eventual winner - points for all these too. Seems complicated but it ain't and the last one went right down to the wire.
To be honest it is great fun and keeps your interest in the World Cup seeing as the mighty Scotland are not there! So I am just wondering if there would be much interest from any board readers to enter?
Secondly, as the last one was a nightmare to mark (I felt like a school teacher!!) is there anyone out there willing to help mark this? If we got 100 entries we could split it up between 10 people who mark thiers and send the points to a central point to print up the league! (PS - If I remember correctly John in the Comm gave a couple of pints to last place!) The spreadshteet actually autmatically marks the sheet - its just a case of someone having these and collating it all (I need to revise that bit as I have forgot how I worked it the last time!)
So, interested?
