WINNER = FAME






Hey all,

Since im pretty bored right now, and im suffering from world cup fever (And i know you lot are too!!!), I figured I'd try to organize a pool for the upcoming world cup; The winner gets bragging rights . Also everyone can enter (yes even you yukalele ;D) and please don't automatically ignore it because I started it..

When the world cup starts I will update the scoreboard every day ^^.


Scoreboard:
Entrant name---------------------Points

-Fame---------------------------344
-Torr----------------------------328
-Elwe----------------------------320
-River---------------------------294
-Selm---------------------------292
-Zapa---------------------------287
-Burt----------------------------273 (pussied out for some reason)
-Kasroa--------------------------259
-Nomae--------------------------242







Without further adue here are the rules:

#1 Before june 9 you predict the winner of the world cup, and also the numbers 2, 3 and 4. Points will be awarded at the end of the world cup like this:

----------------------------Prediction
Actual Place-------1--------2--------3--------4

1-----------------15-------8--------4--------1
2----------------- 8--------12-------7--------2
3----------------- 4--------7--------9--------4
4----------------- 1--------2--------4--------6


#2 Before june 9 you predict the winner of each group; You will get 10 points if you got it right, 5 points if the team you chose comes 2nd, and 2 points if they end up 3rd

#3 Before june 9 you predict all the outcomes of every group stage match. For a exactly correct score you get 12 points; did you get the winner right but not the exact score you get 5 points; if the game is a draw and you put down a draw, but it's not exactly the same score, you also get 5 points. This will also be the way points will be given out in the later stages of the tournament.

#4 Before june 24; 16:00 you predict the outcomes of all 1/8th final matches

#5 Before june 30; 17:00 you predict the outcomes of all quarter final matches

#6 Before july 4; 16:00 you predict the outcomes of the semi-finals

#7 Before july 8; 21:00 you predict the outcomes of the 3rd place match and the final!

#8 If 2 people end up with the same amount of points, the one that predicted the world cup winner will win; if they both have this the same, then the one that predicted 2nd place will win, etc. If this still doesnt solve it; the one that guessed the most groupwinners correctly wins. If that *still* doesnt solve it, the one that has the most exactly correct scores wins. If that still doesnt solve it you can flip a coin

I could use a 2nd person that can go over scores with me, to ensure there is no cheating (i.e. me giving myself 12 points every match)

PM me your predictions!

Okay well i guess that's it.. Took me ages to type it out so be gentle .

to select 1234 i think youll need to know the drawing procedures so you know who can and cant meet...unless everyone can meet each other.


oh and btw reserved for when i decide

Brazil get my vote to win it tho.

Lol the yanks are now moving European borders as well?

Oh and football? pfft! Never could understand why people want to chase a ball around for so long

__________________

At the semi finals and final, everyone can meet everyone (except that in the semi finals there cant be 2 teams that were originally from the same group against each other AFAIK)


Also dont reserve :P. PM your predictions so noone else sees it

ahh yeh sorry missed that bit , ok well ill have a think about that over the next few days try and work out as many as i can.

awesome shit, I predict later.

sent my list, no draws, all teams will win :P

yes but might i add, you have to say the scores (!). Correct score = 12 points, correct winner = 5

balls never put the scores. Ermmmmmmm 2-0 for every game!
