So, how about this:
We tip each match. 1 point for correct winner (or draw). 1 extra point for correct scoreline. 5 points bonus for correct top scorer.
We could also have a lot of other bonuses like:
Winning team, Teams in the final, Referee in the final, Players in the all star team, Team with most yellow/red cards, Teams qualifying from each group in stage 1, and so on...but I guess too many bonuses will just make it too complicated, and in my eyes it's more important to get more people to participate. What do you think?

...but even if they get away with it on the pitch, the camera will catch them these days.

Luciano Moggi - Juve boss quits amid fixing probe

Luciano Moggi, who is at the centre of an investigation into alleged corruption in Italian football, has quit as general manager of Juventus.
"From Monday I will have resigned. From this day the world of football is no longer my world," Moggi said.

"Now I'll think about defending myself from the malice said about me."

He has been linked to the publication of telephone taps involving talks with Italy football federation officials regarding refereeing appointments.

Referee Massimo De Santis, who is set to officiate at the World Cup next month, is also being investigated in the probe.
Moggi is one of 41 people being investigated
