World Cup Prediction Game

Alright, I know you've all been waiting for this, so here it is! The World Cup Prediction Game is officially open for business. We're going to make it a bit simpler than the WCL Game was, simply because there are so many more matches in the World Cup. You can join at any time, but obviously it is advantageous to start early so you can tip more games, and thus accumulate more points. The following are the predictions to make and points given for each.

Tournament Predictions
To be made before 14:30 GMT on March 13
  • Group Winner (for each group) - 10 points
  • Super 8s Winner - 10 points
  • Tournament Winner - 20 points

Match Predictions
To be made before the beginning of all matches
  • Winner - 3 points
  • Margin (within 25 runs) - 3 points
  • Margin (exactly) - 7 points

For anyone who didn't play the WCL, all margins are to be given in terms of runs. If a team batting second wins, I will extrapolate their score using D/L, and use that number of runs as the margin. This should be fun, for the big bragging rights!
 
Re: World Cup Prediction Game

Wilbix are you going to include the warmup matches in this?
 
Re: World Cup Prediction Game

Negative. They aren't full ODIs, it will be different to predict with any skill, because we won't know if the top players will be playing. We'll start on the 13th with the proper world cup matches.
