	Predictions Each Entrant must submit the following before the deadline date of 17th May 2002. a prediction of the final score for each match in the group stage. sixteen teams predicted to be in the second round. eight teams predicted to be in the quarter finals. four teams predicted to be in the semi finals. two teams predicted to be in the final. a prediction of the first, second, third and fourth placed teams. a player predicted to be the top goalscorer in the competition. a team predicted to score the most goals in the competition. a prediction of the total number of goals scored in the competition. There will be no restrictions on the teams selected - i.e. the teams you predict to reach the semi finals need not be included in your predictions for the second round. This will allow an element of hedging. On any areas of dispute, the organiser's decision is final. There will be a maximum of 20 entrants. ^ Back to Top
