I’m going to run another World Cup qualifier prediction contest, and since the qualifier campaign kicks off in September, I figured I’ll get things running.
I’m going to use Google Forms to accept the answers this time. The form will ask you to be logged into google, but I’m not collecting email addresses and you should be able to go back and change your responses at any time.
Scoring will be simplified from the last one on the AO.
You will score points equal to 100 - the ELO probability of the result you selected if you are correct, and 0 if you are wrong.
You will also score a bonus 3 points for the winning score (or one of the drawn teams score) correct, 1 point for the losing score correct, or 5 points for the exact scoreline.
Links to the google forms, standings and all will be in the post below.
Nice, and it changed your answers to the final format (I was editing in the points for the first round of games to the form when you submitted). Thanks. I can’t have it send you an email unless I collect email addresses, and I’m not going to do that, so everyone will just have to confirm there own submission. I’ll lock them sometime around the first of the month, and then put up the next months matches at the same time (if there are any).
BTW, Sri Lanka is currently suspended by FIFA, but they have until 10/2 to get reinstated before the forfeit is enforced. If they don’t play, those games won’t be scored, so you can assume they play and not just pick 3:0 wins for Yemen.
