World Cup Oracle after Round 3 - on to the KO rounds!

How2winfantasy wins round 3. Predictions now open for the knockout rounds!

Oracle Scoring System:

  • Getting the right result (Team A beats Team B): 1 point
  • Each correct number of goals for either team: 1 point (result was 1-1, and you picked 2-1; gives you 1 correct pick and 1 wrong pick so 1 point).
  • If you picked the correct goal for one team, and the final result (result was 2-0, and you picked 2-1; you get 1 point for the goal, and one for the result so 2 points).

So there is are 0-3 points possible for EVERY game. Bonus games will also be added occasionally with International games, Open Cup and others.

On to the knockout rounds! There were at least two surprises as most people wouldn’t have picked Cameroon and Nigeria to move on, but they are in and you now have a short time to get your picks in before the first games in the Round of 16.

Here’s this round’s stats:

ORACLE OF THE ROUND: How2winfantasy takes the prize with 24 points!

  • Participation: 30 players.
  • Game with most points earned: Germany knocking South Africa out of contention earned 38 points.
  • Game with least points earned: The stunning draw between Scotland and Argentina awarded only 11 points.

Here’s the full scoring spreadsheet, and a new survey for the knockout rounds, which is also at the bottom of this page for some viewers!
