Very similar to other pools on various forums on 2+2
16 players all put in 100? 200? whatever, I dont care. 100 seems easier and includes more people.
Then everyone gets 1 team in the top 16 ranked teams, and 1 team in the bottom 16 ranked teams. Completely random, so no skill required.
I would simply put the 16 names of the people in the pool in one hat, and 16 names of the countries 1-16 in another hat. I would then set up skype with someone to watch me do the pool, and simply pick a name from one hat and a country from the other and that person would be given that team. I would then do the same for countries 17-32. Everyone gets 2 teams.
Here are the ranked teams 1-32
Spain
Brazil
England
Argentina
Holland
Italy
Germany
France
Portugal
Cote d' Ivoire
Serbia
Chile
USA
Paraguay
Ghana
Mexico
Cameroon
Uruguay
Denmark
South Korea
Nigeria
Australia
Greece
South Africa
Switzerland
Slovenia
Slovakia
Japan
Algeria
Honduras
New Zealand
North Korea
100$ from 16 people = 1600.
winner = $1000
2nd place = $400
3rd place = $200
If you are interested, just say so, first 16 people to express interest are in, then I set up skype with the person with most posts/most respected whatever, to keep everyone happy.
Interested?
PS, trash talk is a must
