FA Cup Prediction - 22 May 2016

TIE BREAKER MATCH

FA CUP FINAL: SUN 22/5 Crystal Palace vs Manchester United at 12.25am SIN/HKT 

Tie breaker rule which is as follow:

1) Predictions are to be made as per normal (90 minutes) except that we have to also predict (i) which side scores the first goal and (ii) the time of the first goal scored e.g. at 37th minute.

2) 3 points will be awarded for a correct outcome and 1 point each for correct score on each side.

3) If after (2) we have a tie, then the person who predicts the correct side to score the first goal gets an additional 0.5 points. If not, we have a winner decided (4).

4) If after (3) we still have a tie, then the person who predicts the correct time (or closest) of the first goal will get an additional 0.25 points. If not, we have a winner decided (4.1).

• 4.1) There will be a Before-Over-After rule should the difference in predicted time of players who are tied (between predicted and actual time of first goal scored) be identical, the timing before actual time shall trump the timing after actual time.
• Example: A predicts first goal scored at 40th minute. B predicts first goal scored at 50th minute. If actual score is scored at the 45th minute i.e. both A and B timing difference is 5 minutes, A win B with the Before-Over-After rule.

5) If after (4.1), we still have a tie, the top 2 will play another tie breaker in the Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Prediction rules are the same from (1) to (4.1) except that it will be silent tie-breaker where the top 2 will not be making public their predictions. The predictions will be emailed to PPL admin whom will reveal them after kick-off. 

6) Prediction Format: Example: 1. Voxeros 2-1, Spain, 37th minute.
