Hey guys


The basic idea is that each person will get 2 teams
and the scoring will be as follows

POT A: Netherlands, England, Argentina, France, Spain, Belgium, Brazil, Portugal

POT B: Senegal, USA, Mexico, Denmark, Germany, Croatia, Switzerland, Urugauy

POT C: Ecuador, Wales, Poland, Australia, Japan, Canada, Serbia, Korea 

POT D: Qatar, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Costa Rica, Morocco, Cameroon, Ghana

As you can see there is one team from each group in each pool, this may look confusing but to spice things up a bit i have created a scoring system which make things more difficult. (if anyone thinks there is mistakes in the pools let me know)

Winning A Group Stage Game: Pot A: 4 points 
: Pot B: 6 points 
: Pot C: 8 points 
: Pot D: 10 points 

Drawing A Group Stage Match: Pot A: 1 point 
: Pot B: 2 points 
: Pot C: 3 points 
: Pot D: 4 points 

Making It To The Round Of 16: Pot A: 4 points 
: Pot B: 6 points 
: Pot C: 8 points 
: Pot D: 10 points 

Making It To The Quarter Finals: Pot A: 8 points 
: Pot B: 10 points 
: Pot C: 14 points 
: Pot D: 18 points 

Making It To The Semi Finals: Pot A: 12 points 
: Pot B: 16 points 
: Pot C: 22 points 
: Pot D: 28 points 

Finishing Runner Up: Pot A: 18 points 
: Pot B: 24 points 
: Pot C: 30 points 
: Pot D: 40 points 

Winning The World Cup: Pot A: 25 points 
: Pot B: 35 points 
: Pot C: 50 points 
: Pot D: 75 points 


Each Goal Scored During Tournament: Pot A: 1 points 
: Pot B: 2 points 
: Pot C: 3 points 
: Pot D: 4 points 

You also don't get win points after making it to the round of 16 but you still get Goal points.
any questions please let me know

I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.

Ok guys. We are running out of time so we will go with the members we have here.
So lets go in order.  There will be some teams left but thats all good

24 hours to make your pick or will skip over it and you make your pick when you realize.   

So lets start with Ranix

So, just to clarify... when it's our turn, we pick a team that we think will do well in the W Cup, then when its our other turn, we pick another one?

Yes,  the top 8 teams get a lot less points for doing the same thing than weaker teams to make it competative.   we add the two teams points together and then see who does the best

That is; available teams listed at bottom of post #1 in case you missed that. (Less recent picks if detoxin hasn’t got round to updating it)
