It's a knockout
A quick clarification on how the points system works for the knockout stage. You receive 4 points for each team you correctly predict to reach the quarter finals (points will be awarded after each second-round match). Similarly you receive 6 points for each team you correctly predict to reach the semis and 10 points for the two finallists. There's a final 12 points for predicting the overall winner.
From now on the scores in the matches are unimportant, similarly it doesn't matter who a team beats to proceed. Points are only awarded as described above!

Why does my "my predictions" page have spain already qualifying for the quarter-finals?

Matt,
Congratulations on a great website and competition.
Is their a glitch in the scoring, people are shown scoring points for teams from the second round, which obviously haven't played yet, and nothing for Germany or Argentina?

I'm sure it'll sort itself out eventually

Note to self... don't try to update the site when drunk :)
The glitches on the my predictions page should now have been sorted out.
Thanks
Matt

Matt, is there anyway to find out the most commonly predicted final match-up? I'd be curious to see whom people are predicting will battle it out.

I have 5 teams the moved on and only 16 points. I should have 20 points for this.

You don't get points for second round, only getting them to the Q/F. You don't get both Holland and Portugal.

I mistakenly had France winning their group and making it to the quarters. However, they beat Spain (who I also had in the quarters) since they came in second. However, I received 0 points for their win. Shouldn't I get the points since they did advance, even though it was not over the team I had predicted.

my points for france have not been included, I'm 4 points short. will this be corrected?
Posted by: michaël Stumpf | June 28, 2006 02:32 AM
Yes, should be corrected now :)
