An excellent, ready made alternative to doing a sweepstake at work or with your classes this year!
The game is really easy. How it works:
i) Participants pick 6 teams (conditions included) and a striker.
ii) You input the scores from games and print off the leaderboard as the tournament progresses
iii) That's it!
The included Excel file calculates all appropriate scores based on those set out on the entry sheet.
I gave a query regarding goal scorers. On the participants tabs the data for each participant on the left hand side seems to be giving double points for goal scorers and the right is only giving 1 point for goalscorers. I've just spotted it this evening. Is there any way to rectify this? Thanks.

OMG! great spot. I've just updated this and someone at my place has moved up to 3rd from 6th! Controversy :-)<br />

I have updated the sheet and re-uploaded here for you to download. If you'd prefer to edit it directly, contact me @CRMaths via twitter.<br />

Thanks for spotting this!

This is great, just one query - if the knock-out stage game ends in a draw there is no way to identify the winner. I don't want to put the penalty shoot out goals as these should not count towards the total goals tally. Thanks<br />

This is a great point and something I'd not considered. For this tournament I will score a 1-1 draw as 2-1 to the winner of the pentalty shoot-out, effectively giving an extra point for winning a shoot-out. Future tournaments I might add an extra box for winning a shoot-out though. What do you think?

Great resource - I was wondering though if it's possible to increase the number of particpants from the 32 provided, and if so, how would I go about adding to it? Thank you.

How many would you want to increase it to? I could do it myself pretty easily if you gave me an idea.

Just got this looks great but the word document is only half there. Doesn't give the full prediction game.

My fault with the word doc, forgot to press publish on an update of the resource.<br />
<br />
Not sure what you mean with the scores though. I've just checked it, and I can put all the scores in and it updates tables and knockout stages etc ready for those to have scores put in. Any clarification?
