Tyler 885 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Yay/Nay? We have a lot of people who watch the sport and many more who will watch it just for the world cup. Could do a thing where we predict each match or something and the winner gets a certain amount of TPE. I'd run it but I'm unreliable it starts Thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler 885 Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Could do like Predict the score of every match 1 point for the correct winner of a match 3 if you get the score right as well Then 5 if you predict the winner overall before Thursday or before every team has done their first match. And the blue team can figure out the actual TPE totals people get if they win the pool. Edited June 11, 2018 by Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be easier to just do a straight bracket prediction, like say 1 point for every team you correctly picked to make it through first round, 2 point for every team you correctly picked for Quarters, 3 for every correct Semi-Final pick, 5 for every correct finalist and then 10 for the winner?

Yeah I mean you could do that but I'd much prefer the other way tbh. Separate the men from the boys! in all seriousness it wouldn't be that hard? Just do predictions the night before.

Can you give me an example of how each thread would be organized in your method then? Cause it's just the way I'm thinking about how predicting the result of every game has to be organized, it sounds like a long process.

DollarAndADream 3,356 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 For a second there I thought this was about the VHL World Cup going on right now. Buuuuuuuuuut, ya. I'm down to join in for a soccer thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do like Matchday 1 Russia v. Saudi Arabia people make their picks then make a new thread for matchday 2 Matchday 2 put the matches here Obviously it would take like 30 threads but if they're all in the same section over various days I don't see the issue tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I disagree with it being easier match by match basis for someone who doesn't watch, because those guys would probably just want to do one thing and be done with it, not having to do the same thing 20 times over the next month about something they have no interest in.

Tyler 885 Posted June 12, 2018 Author Share Posted June 12, 2018 I mean i guess but its not like there was much of a window between nhl playoffs series. Most people log on once every 12 hours or so. Idk you could just predict the groups but that seems less fun in terms of clutter who cares? Its one thread a day for a month not a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Victor 10,918 Posted June 12, 2018 Admin Share Posted June 12, 2018 1. Round by round bracket. Like NHL where you predict the results before the round as opposed to a bracket which fucks you over by not getting bits right. 2. Pick em and predict the score like VHL for 4 weeks.
