World Cup POM Scoring System

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 27/05/2006

This year's scoring system for the World Cup is as follows:

• 1 point for each entry.
• 2 points for the right outcome (i.e. win, lose or draw as per your prediction)
• 2 points for the right score for Team 1
• 2 points for the right score for Team 2
• 6 points for the right Team 1 scorer (provided a scorer is named). Own goals do not count, and the first non-own goal scored by a Team 1 player constitutes the first goal.
• 6 points for the right Team 2 scorer (provided a scorer is named). Own goals do not count, and the first non-own goal scored by a Team 2 player constitutes the first goal.
• 1 point if Team 1 score 0 goals (and you predicted this)
• 1 point if Team 2 score 0 goals (and you predicted this)
• 10 points bonus for a Nostradamus POM (a perfect prediction)
• 7 points bonus for predicting the time of the first goal

The total points score possible for each game is 29 for a game in which both sides score, 24 in which 1 side scores and 19 if neither side score. In addition 7 bonus points are available for scoring games, making the absolute maximum points available for one game to be 36.
