Hey everyone, so the 1586 SIFA World Cup is this next year and as a sort of fun minigame I've decided to open up march madness style predictions sheets for you all to fill out. If you're not familiar with this, you're probably not from the US, but I will explain regardless. More or less, you get points for predicting match results correctly. The deeper into the tournament your prediction is, the more points you get. So predicting a group stage match right gives you 0.5 points, but predicting the final gets you 8 points!
I've made a spreadsheet for you all to use. The link is at the bottom of this page.
PLEASE do not copy over the sheet. I believe I've made it view only, but I'm warning just in case lol. What you need to do is copy the sheet to a new google sheet, or paste it in excel, I don't care. The formulas may not properly transfer, but whatevs it's not super complicated. Anyway, copy the sheet, make your predictions, then give the sheet back to me. I will make tabs for each persons predictions and keep a running total of points as the event progresses.
Also, yes, these are the groups for the World Cup. You're getting them a bit earlier than usual so theres plenty of time for predictions to come in o/ Also, another note... Blac and I won't be picking because... yeah... we know who wins. A final note, all picks will be private until I close the submissions, unless you post them somewhere everyone can see them.
So what do you get???
The winner (the one with the most points) gets the singular right to adjust any team(s) by a total of 5 cumulative skill points. That means you could raise or lower one team by five points, or you could raise one team 3, lower another 2, etc.
The second place winner (second most points) gets the opportunity to do the same except with 2 points, so not as significant.
If someone manages to predict the entire world cup, they get 10 points to play with. Good luck with that one though o/
