Fixtures of Matchday 1 & 2 have already been played. So, the contest will start from the matches on Matchday 3.
GENERAL RULES:
1. Participants will submit their scoreline predictions for matches in the KO stage.
2. Deadline for submitting predictions for a Matchday will be before the start of a match [01.30AM IST].
3. While posting predictions, please don't interchange Home and Away teams.
4. Participants are free to post their predictions for an entire round at once.
5. Participants are NOT allowed to EDIT their posts after submitting their predictions. If, for some reason, they want to change their predictions before deadline, just strike through the text on old post and make a new post with updated prediction.
Rules for Knockout Stage predictions:
1. If a match ends as a draw after 90 mins, then the scoreline (and outcome) after Extra Time [120' + added/injury time] will be considered correct for this contest.
2. It means all three outcomes (Win, Draw and Loss) will still be possible during Knockout Stage.
3. Goals scored in Penalty Shootouts will NOT count.
4. Participants don't need to mention whether a match will go into Extra Time or not.
PRIZE: None.

Correct Scoreline + Correct Outcome = 10 points
Correct Outcome = 3 points
Incorrect Outcome = -1 point
Penalty for Missing Prediction = -1 point for each match
Points for the Final Match: Participants will earn double points for the final.
Correct Scoreline + Correct Outcome = 20 points

Incorrect Outcome = -2 points
Penalty for Missing Prediction = -2 points
Registration:
If you are interested, please register by providing following details:
Name: Bharat Kumar (or you can use your IVG ID)
Winner prediction: Liverpool
IMPORTANT:
Predictions must be posted in the following format:
Liverpool vs Real Madrid = 2-1 [Matchday 3]
Please don't interchange team names. Team names will be considered in original sequence fixed by UEFA. So, if someone swap team names and submit their prediction like:
Real Madrid vs Liverpool = 2-1
Their prediction will still be considered as Liverpool 2-1 Real Madrid. So, please don't bother changing team names. The number on the left side of your predicted scoreline (2 in 2-1) will always be given to the Home team.
There may be a need to add some more rules. I will keep updating the OP.
If we have at least 8 members, we will go ahead.
