Setup
You have to put your player name here, and once you entering your player’s name, this sweepstake spreadsheet is ready to use. There are score reference table that you can modify if you have other score preference. I define three rules for getting points in this pool game. In this rule, every player will get points if
– they predict correctly match and score result
– they predict correctly match and goal difference result
– they predict correctly match winner result only
There are default points inside the table that you can replace with your own points. In this system, there are different points value for knockout stages, where the point are doubled or tripled than group stages. With this point system, every player still have a chance to win the game eventhough they join in the middle of the game or they always predict incorrectly in group stages. You can start the game after this step.
There are several options to make it played easily.
First, you can print individual player worksheets and your friends or colleagues can write down their prediction in their sheets. You can appoint yourself or someone to collect all the prediction information and put it in the player worksheets. Or, you can just print a blank individual player worksheet, make 25 copies, and spread it to your friends.
