This joomla component is great idea to organize soccer predictions games for Euro 2012 also.
The sport events are organized into tournaments. You may use the tournaments field to distinguish between the different sports. Component is multilanguage, all titles come from language files. You can rename title to Soccer expert, Basketball Expert or Hockey Expert if you wish. In demo site this is renamed to "Soccer expert".
When a sport event's final result is published in the backend, all the users who has placed their predictions for this sport event's outcome are given points depending on their predictions success.
Currently you may assign points for the following prediction outcomes:
1) Exact prediction: the predicted result is an exact match (default 3 points);
2) Winner & points difference: guessed winner and points difference (default 2 points);
3) Guessed draw, points - not: guessed draw but not the points (default 2 points);
4) Guessed winner: guessed only the winner (default 1 points);
5) Wrong prediction: wrong prediction (default 0 points).
The points awarded can have negative value, e.g. for a wrong prediction.

When I check the guesses of participants, the dates of the games appear in a disorderly fashion. I wonder if I can fix this, ie, showing games and guesses according to the dates of the games. I'll give you a hint: it has to enter the games per round, putting the number of the round and matches. Another thing: recently purchased the product, can I upgrade to the version that came out now at the end of March 2013.
Easy to use. Good support. It would be better if the developer would include more options to solve ties between users and also some predefined sport events like Boxing. Maybe a countdown timer before the beginning of the competition? In general is good stuff for a reasonable price. Thanks!
