World Cup 2010 Cross Forum Predictions Game

Hi everybody! With the World Cup bringing the world together through football/soccer, I thought I would try and bring the cyberspace world together also using football/soccer. As a result, behold the World Cup 2010 Cross Forum Predict-a-Score Challenge.

If you've never played Predict-a-Score before, don't worry - the rules are easy to pick up. For each game in the tournament, simply predict the score for it. You will be awarded points based on the accuracy of your predictions:

1 point for getting the score right
1 point for getting the goal difference right
1 point for getting the winner right

This gives a maximum of 3 points per match. The object of the game is to score as many points as you can. The winner is the player with the most points.

But wait, there's more!

As I stated above, this is a cross-forum championship! Thus, the individual winners from each forum will be crowned the individual forum champion. The highest scorer from all the forums will be the overall winner. Finally, the top 5 scorers from each forum will have their scores added together, and the forum with the highest total will be the Forum Champion.

So, take part and have fun! Your forum's pride is at stake! You're not going to allow yourselves to be beaten by a bunch of hockey fans and Philadelphia sports fans are you?

Official Rules

1. Only predictions made in the Predict-a-Score threads or sent to me via PM will be accepted.
2. Predictions for each game must be made before kick off.
3. Each player will represent a forum. The forum you represent will be the one on which you make your first prediction.
4. Occasionally, mistakes may occur. If you spot something amiss in the scores or the rules, let me know, and I'll sort it out as best I can. I'm only human.
5. Scores and stats will be updated hopefully every day, but don't worry if that doesn't happen.
6. This is meant to be a harmless bit of fun, with nothing at stake, save bragging rights. So, please don't take it too seriously, and do not cheat.
7. I have decided that I will make my predictions on the forum which has the least number of participants.
8. Have fun!

Enjoy!
