What you need to do:
1. The World Cup is set up into eight different groups with four different teams, which will be posted below. During the group stage, two teams, the winner and runner up each advance. For this you will be required to pick each of those two teams. If you guess the first place team correctly, you will receive 3 points. If you guess the runner up correctly, then you will receive 2 points. So if you were to get all eight groups correctly, you would have 40 points.
2. You will also get 1 point for picking a team to advance. For example : In Group A you have Mexico finishing in first and Brazil finishing in second, and the actual results are Brazil and Croatia, you will get 1 point for correctly predicting Brazil to advance, but not in the correct position. So 3 points for the winner, 2 points for the runner up and 1 point for advancement
3. After the group stage is over, the knockout round begins. The bracket for the knockout round is posted below. For each correct Quarter finalist prediction, you will receive 4 points. (You should have 8 picks here)
4. For each correct semi finalist prediction you will get 5 points. (Four picks here)
5. For each correct finalist prediction you will get 6 points. (Two Picks here)
6. For correctly predicting the winner of the World Cup you will receive 8 points.
7. The tie breaker is to post the amount of corner kicks you believe will be in the final game. The second time breaker will be the person who posted first.

Here is how your post should look like

Group A : 1. Country 2. Country
Group B : 1. Country 2. Country

Not that difficult if you read it. Think this format leaves it pretty wide open and gives a lot of people a chance to come back and win late. Obviously you have over a month to make your decisions. Prizes will be announced sometime during that time by either BAR or myself.

I will not be around to answer any questions. I will be out of the country from tomorrow till the end of the month. Not sure what kind of internet access I will have. If you have any general CTG questions you can PM B.A.R., if you have any soccer related questions you can PM Teed and Braves, or even Dwight. Or you can PM me and I will answer your questions at the end of the month.

Sounds like fun, thanks for setting it up.


It should be. I am just copying Braves picks and changing my tiebreaker:pillow:.

A quick ancedote. I remember when we were starting this site and would get in on AIM chats and whatnot about different stuff Fondy invited this guy 'trupicker' in a convo...of all people and it was during the final of 2006 WC and of course he faded the public and was rooting hard watching soccer. Always made me laugh...
 
i couldn't make it to week 3 in that epl fantasy league a while back because i couldn't figure out how to change my lineup. i'm going to give this a shot though. :shake:

I realize why the site and GD is alot more quieter now...


Thanks for setting this up Alex and CTG

So essentially nothing extra for getting the 2 teams to advance, but they are flip flopped? Meaning you picked it 1-2 and it came back team 2-1.

i am reading that right, correct?

Thanks for running it was fun last year

So, no, you were not reading that correctly. :p If you pick teams to come in 1 and 2, and the order is reversed, you would get 1 point for each (2 total) team since they advanced but you didn't have the correct positions. If you get them right at 1 and 2, you get 5 points.
