The JKB World Cup 2014 Predictor Competition


Ulysses

Recommended Posts

It's been a while since the Predictor had an outing on JKB, but here it is again.

 

The 2014 World Cup gets under way on Thursday, 12 June at 9 pm UK time when Brazil play Croatia in S?o Paulo.

 

Once again, there will be an official JKB prediction competition. The format will be familiar to members who've played in JKB Predictor events, although it's a while since we've had one of those. Forecast the scorelines of games, and score 1 point for predicting the overall result (e.g. Italy to beat England), or 3 points for predicting the correct scoreline (e.g. Italy 1-0 England). There will even be some Platinum games along the way (where the points count double) to add some extra twists and turns to the scoring.

 

This will be an individual event. It will also be what we call a Gold event, where players pay via Paypal and the entry fees go into the prize fund for the competition. The entry fee on this occasion will be ?6.

 

Competition rules will be posted in due course. To enter, you can click on the Donate link at the top of the page, but remember we have two competitions running at the moment - so please make sure to select the right competition when paying.

 

The deadline for paying entry fees will be Thursday, 12 June at 7 pm UK time.

 

The deadline for putting in your forecast for any game in the tournament will be the published kick-off time for the game - you don't have to make all your predictions at once.

The prize fund will depend on how many entries are received. All entry fees (except for PayPal admin charges) will go into the prize fund for the competition, which is open to all JKB members who register and pay the fee before the deadline.

I'll send you a list of the games and you can PM me the forecasts before you leave.

 

Go on, you know you want to. I'm on holidays the first few days of the competition, and I'm running it. :laugh:

Will there be predictions to do every day Uly?

 

All tournament games will be included in the competition, except possibly the third place game. The only hard and fast rule is that a forecast for a game must be submitted before its scheduled kick-off time, so you can forecast as often as you like. As an aid to players, calls for predictions for batches of games will be posted every couple of days during the competition.

Predicting the last 4 will be Brazil vs Germany

Netherlands vs Argentina

 

Final to be

Germany vs Netherlands

 

And the Dutch to win their first World Cup.

 

England to be out of the World Cup by the 19th of June (think that's when they play their second game.
