Dear God man! Think of the children! I wouldn't wish Layton on anyone! lol

Yesterday we totaled 3 points from 24 predictions.

Today, we made 28 points from 21 predictions.

Does this mean England will win on Wednesday (or did we all get someone else to do today's predictions for us??)

I've been thinking about the knockout stage (..and hopefully people will still want to play if England gets knocked out on Wednesday.)

The following is doable, if a little complicated at first glance:
  • Correct Winning Result (90 mins OR AET): 1 Point
  • Correct Winning Score (90 mins OR AET): 3 Points
  • Predict an AET draw: 1 Point for predicting AET draw or 3 Points for exact score
  • Predict a penalty win: 2 points for correct result, 5 Points for correct Penalty score

So predictions would be entered in exactly the same form as before, however an optional "PENS" signifier can be tagged on the end of each prediction (to indicate the predicted score is the penalty score.)

How does that sound?

Sounds ok to me. Though I'd be happy with the simple solution of just using the 90 mins or aet result and forgetting penalties.

I am in agreement. Penalty prediction's really is pot luck at the moment we are all using our indepth knowledge of the game.
