In the spirit of good fun, I'd like to have a predictions game for everyone to play! Here's how it works!
How to play:
The predictions tournament is split into two parts, group stage and bracket stage.
Group Stage:
Predict which 4 countries will be knocked out of their respective groups! All correct predictions in group stage are worth 2 points. Predictions for this stage must be made by the 6'th of February at 11:59PM UTC. BE SPECIFIC! You can't say something like "Canada / France will be knocked out of Group C during Group Stage"
Bracket Stage:
This is where the real challenge is! When the brackets for the RO16 are posted (following group stage), this part of predictions will open up. You must try to accurately predict who will advance in the brackets as best you can all the way to who wins the entire tournament. Predictions for this stage must be made by the 13'th of February at 11:59PM UTC. again, BE SPECIFIC! You have to predict the entire bracket here, so give it your best shot!
Here is the bracket for those predicting in the bracket stage: http://challonge.com/TWC2014
Earning points in Bracket Stage:
The value of predictions will go up after each round!
RO16 = 1 point per correct prediction
Quarterfinal = 2 points per correct prediction
Semifinal = 4 points per correct prediction
Finals + 3'rd place match (The match held between the two teams knocked out in semifinals) = 8 points per correct prediction.
This means that in total, you can make 8 points in group stage, 8 points in RO16, 8 points in quarterfinals, 8 points in semifinals, and a whopping 16 points for the 3'rd place + final match combined. If you were to predict perfectly at every point in predictions, you can get a maximum of 48 points.
How to predict!
With that all out of the way, here's how you can make predictions! Using the the TWC team information, either make a post in this thread or send me a PM with your predictions. I will add you to the list of predictors and you can see how well your predictions fare off against other people, it's that simple! Just keep in mind that you need to make two separate predictions on different weeks, the first of which is the group stage predictions, and the second of which is the brackets predictions. Don't miss either of them or you can be missing out on potential prediction points!
An example of how you'd make a prediction for group stage and bracket stage can be seen below

Here's the list of teams that are currently still in TWC,as well as the list of all predictors and their current point values. Both will be updated regularly.
