Congratulations bspittles and Oxford NZ with winning the gameweek!


OVERALL LEADERBOARD: GROUP STAGE: After 5 gameweeks out of 6

WCbttsGROUPSTAGE.png

bspittles in the lead in the overall leaderboard after 5 gameweeks!
Top 8 qualify to playoffs.

Tie-breakers:
1) Who has predicted more JOKER correctly?
2) If 1) is the same amount, then - who has more correct predictions for BTTS:NO (just because in my opinion predicting that both teams won't score is harder than BTTS:Yes)
3) If 2) is still the same for both players, then it means that also BTTS:YES number will be automatically the same, in that case, and only in that one, there will be 2(or more) winners, which seems unlikely though.

OVERALL LEADERBOARD: GROUP STAGE: Before last 4 matches

Des in the lead in the overall leaderboard before last 4 matches!
Top 8 qualify to playoffs.

Tie-breakers:
1) Who has predicted more JOKER correctly?
2) If 1) is the same amount, then - who has more correct predictions for BTTS:NO (just because in my opinion predicting that both teams won't score is harder than BTTS:Yes)

Quarterfinal of our comp will be played the usual way - predicting 5 out of 8 matches in World Cup Round of 16. For our semifinal and final I will add more questions (probably about first goalscorers, winners etc) and participants will have to predict outcomes in all matches and choose a Joker (for those rounds I might also change the points system a bit, but more information about that after Round of 16 will start)

[jacool]

This was a very common prediction - though not by me !!
Korea Republic v Germany NO (Joker)
How did all you guys know?

OVERALL LEADERBOARD: GROUP STAGE: Before last 2 matches

WCbttsGROUPSTAGE_update.png

Des in the lead in the overall leaderboard before last 2 matches!
Top 8 qualify to playoffs. Update of who needs what to follow (So far I know that I and kevchenko are out for sure)

Tie-breakers:
1) Who has predicted more JOKER correctly?
2) If 1) is the same amount, then - who has more correct predictions for BTTS:NO (just because in my opinion predicting that both teams won't score is harder than BTTS:Yes)
3) If 2) is still the same for both players, then it means that also BTTS:YES number will be automatically the same, in that case, and only in that one, there will be 2(or more) winners, which seems unlikely though.

[Ralfbergs]

Lets start with the good news - Des, bspittles, morganb, zipnolan and Oxford NZ are definitely through.

For winning the group stage part it goes down between Des and bspittles -

Des needs England v Belgium to be BTTS:NO and he is the winner, while bspittles needs it to be BTTS:YES

[Ralfbergs]

Also it turns out that Boddington is through, even though in 3 types of outcomes he will be through because of tie-breakers

[Ralfbergs]

So, if my calculatios are correct (I can't guarantee that they are, but the should be, doing this in a bit of a rush):

sibrown4 and tenpinterry can't get into playoffs anymore (just like kevchenko and me and the ones who haven't picked for this GW)

1) If both games end BTTS:YES

TheBigLewandowski and jacool are through

2) if Panama v Tunisia ends BTTS:YES, England v Belgium BTTS:NO

jacool and Geoffv are through

3) If Panama v Tunisia ends BTTS:NO and Engliand v Beligum BTTS:YES

TheBigLewandowski and Surprised are through

4) If both games end BTTS:NO

GregsEggs and Geoffv are through

Also, I am introducing an extra tie-breaker (possibly it will be used only for this round, but will let you know later):
