As next round has fewer games and fewer participants, there will be a bit of a change in what needs to be predicted and how points are scored. This is what I have come up with (might still change a bit before next round starts, but most likely it will be this):

All 4 participants who will get into our semifinals will have to predict all 4 games that will be played in the World Cup Quarterfinals. What participants will need to predict and the scoring:

1) BTTS: Yes/No (without extra-time, just 90mins)? - For each correct one 2 points.
2) First team to score (with extra-time) - for each correct one 1 point, if the game ends 0-0 after extra-time, then everyone gets 0 points (won't do ''no goals'' predictions)
3) Team to win (advance to next round) - for each correct one 1 point
4) Over or under 2.5 goals - for each correct one 1 point
---
Jokers work as usual - participants will have to choose one match, for which they will get extra 2 points for each correct prediction. So the most you can have will be 13 points (5 points if you answer each question correctly + 8 joker points).
---
All predictions will have to be sent by private message to me starting from next round.

If someone has some comments about this or suggestions, please say so as this can still be amended a bit while Round of 16 of World Cup is still being played


Basically this resembles the other prediction game that I am running for premier league, just without using odds, but points and Jokers instead. I am giving 2 points for BTTS:Yes/No predictions just because this game is based on that(as the title says) and I should add more weight to that question because of that.

If my calculations are correct - Des and bspittles have guaranteed a place in the semifinals of our comp. Also Oxford NZ, morganb and Boddington can't make it anymore - either they won't have enough points or they will lose out on the tie-breaker (being in a lower place in the group stage)

As for others:

jacool, even though having only 1 point at the moment, should be through in 3 out of 4 of the possible outcomes. Only if both matches tomorrow end BTTS:YES, then jacool is eliminated.

zipnolan is also through in 3 out of 4 of the outcomes (in 2 outcomes it will be based on tie-breaker which takes into account who was higher in the group stage). Only if Sweden v Switzerland ends BTTS:YES and Colombia v ENgland ends BTTS:NO, then he is eliminated.

As for Geoffv - he basically needs BTTS:YES in Sweden v Switzerland match and the other match should not matter.

I hope I calculated everything correctly, either way, we will see for sure after tomorrow.

As my BTTS WC rollercoaster gradually draws to a halt, I just wanted to say thanks to you Ralf for running this competition.

It is good to see a few new players entering - hopefully they will play the Premier League version of both this and your other prediction game when they return in August.

Good luck to all those left in - looks like the majority of the top players from the group stages appear to be going through.

Thanks Ralf, it has been fun. Russia and Japan performing better than I expected have done for me.
Good luck to those that go through I will be keeping an eye on this thread to see who wins. :)

Looks like our semifinalists are known - Des, jacool, bspittles and zipnolan, who might be making it based on tie-breaker and performance in the group stage (if last match ends BTTS:NO)

QUARTERFINAL (FINAL RESULTS):
WCbttsQT.png
Congratulations Des and jacool with having the most points in this round!

Top 4 have qualified to semifinals
1 Des
2 jacool
3 bspittles
4 zipnolan


Thanks to others for participating!

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 the scores are completely the same, then the participant who had a higher ranking in group stage will advance

SEMIFINAL FIXTURES (QUARTERFINAL IN WORLD CUP) (Predictions need to be sent to me by private message instead of posting them here:

Uruguay v France
Brazil v Belgium
Sweden v England
Russia v Croatia

These questions need to be predicted for all 4 games:

1) BTTS: Yes/No (without extra-time, just 90mins)? - For each correct one 2 points.
2) First team to score (with extra-time, penalties don't count) - for each correct one 1 point, if the game ends 0-0 after extra-time, then everyone gets 0 points
3) Team to win (advance to next round) - for each correct one 1 point
4) Over or under 2.5 goals (with extra-time, penalties don't count) - for each correct one 1 point

You have to choose one JOKER match for which you will get 2 extra points for each correct prediction.

Oh, yes, forgot to add that. Thank you for asking - no, I am taking extra-time into account too (rarely it is with many goals though in such huge matches, so I doubt that influences the prediction too much), but penalties do not count towards it obviously.

Basically only for BTTS:YES/NO I won't be taking into account extra time. Not sure if this is the best option, but I doubt that it will influence the scores too much.

bspittles has already sent to me his predictions, if he wants to change something after my clarifications, then he can send another PM

Looks like bspittles is taking a risk putting his Joker in Uruguay v France game as all the others have the same predictions and Joker in Brazil v Belgium. Also interesting that everybody predicts Croatia to be first goalscorer and to advance
