    Hi Antoine,

    I started using your plugin today, looks very impressive!

    Do I understand it correctly that users can’t predict which teams will end up playing the knock out stages and the final? Or did I miss something?

    What about a pull down menu for each of the teams in the matches of the knock out phase? That way you could score points for that stage for each correctly picked team…

    Hi,
    The plugin doesn’t have a feature to automate these questions because the base idea is that users predict outcomes of matches.

    But you can remove the matches after the group phase and use the bonus questions feature for these predictions. For example, make a question of type ‘multiple choice with multiple answers’ for the prediction of the semi-finalists with a maximum number of allowed answers of 4. Add all team names as possible answers.
    Only ‘disadvantage’ of this approach is that the scoring is not automatic based on match results. You, as an admin, will have to check every answer for your users (choose right or wrong) and if you have a large group of contenders in the pool, this can be some work.

    Just give it a try and see if this will work for you.

    Thanks Antoine, after looking at the reasons why you set it up this way, I actually like it a lot!

    This would be a nice extra feature or add-on which I would use..

    Killbert72, could you tell me how you did that with the extra questions? It might save me a lot of time.
