Scoring example -
Pick England. If they were to lose in the quarter finals you will be awarded 30 x 12 = 360 points.
Pick Brazil. If they were to be losing semi-finalists you would receive 50 x 3 = 150 points.
& if you picked Costa Rica and they finished 3rd in group you would get 75 x 5 = 375 points.
Simple!
The Winner, obviously is the player with the most points gained from their 6 selections.
Good Luck, in the event of a tie it will be exactly that, a tie & all bragging rights can be shared.
