The new web site, www.predictworldcup.com, invites people to predict all of
the scores of all of the games for the entire World Cup.
To be eligible for the Grand Prize, and bragging rights over other football fans, submissions must be completed prior to the start of the first game on Friday, June 9, 2006. There is no cost to participate and participants can even challenge their friends to compete in the contest. Following the 2006 World Cup, one
winner will be awarded the Grand Prize.
Peter Greenham, Technical Account Manager with FIRM and architect of
PredictWorldCup.com explained how he developed this site:
While assisting a client creating their own panel management and community portal on the Confirmit platform, it struck me that the same standard Confirmit functionality could easily be applied to an online World Cup community. The result is a web site where World Cup fans can sign-up and try to predict the World Cup results.
Kjell Øksendal, FIRM’s Vice
President of Marketing said;
PredictWorldCup.com is a great showcase of how the Confirmit panel module can be used to recruit and engage people in communities. The submission of predictions with point calculations illustrates the flexibility of the Confirmit survey and reporting platform,
