I was curious how I'd be doing had I actually signed up for this and calculated my score...

https://texags.com/forums/51/topics/2942124/replies/51961632

I would have been at 238 points this morning, and would gotten 4 each for correct semifinalists France and Belgium, plus 20 bonus points for having both fixtures today exactly right, to be at 266 right now.

Of course, you'll have to take my word for it that I would have got the 15 bonus points for all 4 group team's correct in Group C, D, and E, but not A nor B since I didnt fill out full group standings in that post.

I'm assuming that
  • Correctly predict a fixture (both correct teams and the correct position in the bracket): 10 points

Means that you have to pick the winner as well. Is that correct? If you just have to get the right two teams matched up with each other then I guess I already have 10 more bonus points for Russia Croatia tomorrow and for the France-Belgium semifinal.

Dang, wish I would have put some money down on this tourney!

Wish I'd signed up for this now. I'd have a commanding 295 points right now with 10 more points coming if France wins one more game.

I wish the scoring was working for the knockout phase bracket, in that one the only two games I got wrong were Russia-Spain and Sweden-Switzerland.

The prize is $10000. I'll add you in late because you deserve it.

All I need is your bank account info, full name, DOB, mother's maiden name, and social security. Oh and you also have a Nigerian King as a distant relative and we need to send you your money for that too.

Did this bracket challenge have you pick a winner for the third place game?
OregonAggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?
No it did not
JJxvi

Then I think if France wins I would have finished (had I actually been smart enough to sign up) as #1in the entire world or whatever unless the guy currently #1 also picked France To win.

Odd...the overall leaderboard changed since yesterday and now everyone has fewer points.

Damn you're right. Curious as to why.

They went down by really odd amounts too. I see from your posts that Aston went from 218 down to 217 after two games were played. The only way for some kind of one point swing would be like losing credit for game, then gaining credit for a different game in a prior round.

This should be the final standings

Congrats to BGraham for winning...which we've known for a couple weeks now!

Thanks for participating everybody!

Welp, looks like I would have finished #1 in the world had I bothered to enter this thing.
