An update based on the finalized scoring system, after 3 games, your top 10:

Hutch44  	27
jfarb001	28
chewbrian	31
Jelme    	32
JuicePats	33
SM      	37
Charles      	38
Coco      	38
Tutori      	38
FatCurry	40


Just about everyone took a hit on the Colombia game, proving that a lot can change very quickly.

well... I think I took the biggest hit of all, for being partial to Colombia!

If you think that's bad, you should check out the Spain U21 predictions before their game with the Czeck Republic. One of the would have been a +62 score by our system!

According to Coco's post there is a 3pt Bonus for hitting it dead on the nails. Meaning not just getting the PD right but predicting the final score 100% correct.

FYI, I interpreted that as nailing the PD, not the score (I think the first post in this thread reflects that). For various reasons I've tried to stay away from the actual score being meaningful (it depends a lot on our tactics, so I (1) don't want our predictions to give away what we're doing, and (2) don't want to penalize owners that aren't keeping up with the tactics discussions off-site).
