    Hey up everyone,

    I've set-up a BBS World Cup Prediction League on footballpredictionleague.net, you can join by going here:

    http://www.footballpredictionleague.net/invite/UYRG-GEQ/

    League Code: UYRG-GEQ

    It takes 5 seconds to sign up.

    Rules
    Very simple: 3 pts for predicting the correct score, 1 point for predicting the correcting outcome (home win, draw, away win) and 0 points for getting it completly wrong :)

    There's goal difference (GD) to calculate anyone on the same points, the closer this is to 0 the higher you will be ranked. GD is worked out by the difference in your prediction scores and the actual scores of every game.

    Example:
    You predict Brazil to win Croatia 3-0 in the opening game and the real result ends 3-2 to Brazil, you get 1 point for the correct outcome and your GD is +2 due to Croatia scoring 2 more goals than you predicted them to score.


    So get over there and join in, it's something to take our minds of this lack of transfer activity! :cool:

    If you sign up with a different username to your BBS one let us know what it is on here so we know who's who, ta.


    Gally/Mod: Could you sticky this for the duration of the World Cup please? Cheers fella!
