World Cup Tournament

Post by Daryldime » Thu Apr 03, 2014 5:44 pm

So with the World Cup fast approaching, I have taken the liberty of going the way of the NCAA Basketball tournament, and have constructed a Pick'm Tournament for this event! For those of you familiar with football/soccer, this should be right up your alley. For the rest of you, firstly, get on the bandwagon, its a great sport! But honestly, this is a chance to win prizes. Has the word prizes swayed your position before? I hope so! If you literally have 0 idea about the sport, its essentially multiple choice and you have a chance to get something, so not doing it would be silly.

I will be setting up a steam group as to better manage the scoreboard. I'll update any big happening on the forums and the group, but the regular updates will only be in the group as to avoid being spammy and hard to keep up with.

Rules:
EDIT: I am a moron. Theres a form setting... easy mode enabled!

Because of the unique nature of the Cup there will essentially be 2 pick periods. The Group stage games (8 groups consisting of 4 teams each playing each other once), and the knockout rounds (essentially a 1 game playoff). I will give everyone the link to the knockout bracket and keep it updated as the teams finalize their places.

You will have from now until June 10th to get your list to me for the group stages. For the Knockout rounds you have from the time the teams are finalized (at the latest June 26th at 5PM EST) until an hour before the first Knockout game (11am EST on June 28th). If for some reason you are unable to get me a completed bracket before then, let me know and I'll just mark the games that have elapsed as negated on your score.

Points: Points are awarded for every correct choice you make. You will either choose the winning team, or tie/draw. For example, in the bracket you come to USA v. Ghana. Your choices are USA, Ghana, or Draw. There is a bonus point for choosing the top 2 teams in each group that will move on to the Knockout rounds. There is no penalty for guessing incorrectly anywhere in this tournament, including the bonus point.

Winners will be the top 3 players with the most points at the end of both the group AND the knockout rounds. Prizes for the top 3 are (in Steambuxx) $10/$5/$3. There will be a key (or key equivalent) prize for top points in each half. For example, If you finished 5th overall but got the most points in the knockout round, KEY FOR YOU!

There will also be about another 20 or so minor prizes if certain conditions are met... consider them achievements and lets see how many we hit!

Good luck and lets have some fun :D

sounds awesome! I urge people to try and beat the deadline by as good a time as they can. No rushing just don't wait till the last minute as the amount of copying I have to do is astronomical :P

Well I watched the Euros when my first daughter was born 2 years ago and I'll be watching most of the world cup with her and my 2nd daughter due in June. I might have to enter a bracket.
