How to play

In order to play our forecast game, you will have to download our application here

Then you just have to use the "World Cup Forecast" menu

If you want more details, read through the manual below.

An FAQs is available at the end of this section.

Don't forget to "Commit" your forecast when you change it, before the time limit fixed by goulwen.lefur@obeo.fr : 00:00PM (UTC) (link http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?day=11&month=6&year=2010&hour=0&min=0&sec=0&p1=0)

How points are calculated

If you have the winning team, you get 2 points. If you have the correct number of goals of the first team, you get 1 point. The same goes with the number of goals the second team scores. You can thus win a total of 4 points per match.

All the matches of the pools will have a coefficient of 1. After the pools phase, all predictions will have a coefficient of 2.

Manual

When you launch the application, you are welcomed by the main page

From there, you will be able to create a new player thanks to the "World Cup Forecast" menu

Then you can see and edit your prediction file

The prediction for a match will be directly filled in there

And then you just have to save the file (use "Save...", not "Save as..." : the name shouldn't be modified) and send it to our servers thanks to the "commit" menu item (in the "World Cup Forecast" menu) Commiting a file is a bit tricky at first, you just have to enter a password and click upload to send the file (it will both send the file and create your 'account' on our servers). Next time you want to upload the file, you just have to use the same password again. Do not forget your password ! A message will be displayed to warn you about the result. Then you will need to close the "Commit" dialog box by yourself.

FAQ

If I close my file, how can I find it to open it again ? The file of predictions is located in the folder of the application.
