Official World Cup Tipping Competition
Sweet I have won. Through to the next round.
One foot in the knockout stages after this mornings games. Have probably jinxed it now though!
Yep, jinxed it.

Nope, the TAB picks are saved to the website database because we display them up top in the odds section. I'll go and find out what they are now.

Yep, jinxed it.
Your still ahead? and i have won my tipping match so a win should get you through?

By my count (could be wrong) I'm all tied up after that Ivory Coast result. However a draw will get me through if you've won. A loss may also get me through but by that point the permutations get far too detailed for me!
Since we will know what all of the Round of 16 matches are this time tomorrow, here are the rules for the knockout stage of the competition:
For the knockout stage, each player will submit how many yellow cards they think will be shown in the tournament round. In the case where both tippers score the same number of points, the tipper who was closer to guessing the actual number of yellow cards will advance in the tournament. If both tippers were as close as each other, the tipper who posted first will advance.
To extend this, the result you need to pick will be the result at the end of 120 minutes of play (or 90 minutes if the match doesn't go to extra time), as this is when the match is officially over according to FIFA rules, and the penalty shootout is just played to decide who progresses in the tournament. If a match heads to a penalty shootout, the correct result for that match will be a draw.
Matchups will be the same as the World Cup (i.e. Winner of Group A plays Runner up of Group B etc), and I'll post the fixtures are soon as I can. I'm also going to go over and double check all the results of all the matches played so far either tonight or tomorrow, a couple of potential mistakes have been pointed out so I'll fix these before I confirm who progresses.
so if it goes to penalties that is a draw? or the team who wins the shoot out is the winner?

That's football for you!
Undone by my loyalty to England. Picked them to win every game even though I knew the useless bastards would win nothing. If only I'd been born German. Ok I'd find toilets, farting and jokes about sausages funny but at least I'd actually enjoy football. Roll on the Phoenix...
Ah bugger, out already. Oh well, I'm doing so many different kinds of prediction games on different sites so 1 less to remember to do!
