Paid! Will submit my entry this evening

Hello , I am also interested. When is the payments deadline?

Wednesday, will PM you details in a minute

Currently at the following:



Again, let me know if anything's missing. Those at the bottom are entries from work/pub etc, I would expect maybe 3-4 to enter the pool but the rest'll just be playing for free

T-3 days bump, still plenty of people that have paid but not sent an entry in, appreciate people may be waiting to get any late info but as you're able to amend entries right up until the deadline I'd advise to submit a provisional entry and then amend it if needed, would certainly make things a bit easier at this end if I can get something down for everyone who's paid and then edit things later if needed

Interests for $. Pm details and will work on this tomorrow

I will send u the money today but its the 1st time I am playing this game so I have one question.
Will u post everyones predictions after the start of the tournament ( in an excel doc or google spreedsheet) or u will give updates about leaderboard during the tournamentwhen we have some final results about some of the questions ( f.e. Name a team which will win their opening game)?

I guess u arent just going to say hello the winner is f.e. manager A after the end of the WC?

In addition about question No 18, your ELO ranking is this one:
Brazil > Germany > Spain > Argentina > France > Portugal > England > Colombia > Belgium > Peru > Uruguay > Switzerland > Mexico > Croatia > Denmark > Poland > Sweden > Iran > Iceland > Serbia > Senegal > South Korea > Costa Rica > Australia > Morocco > Nigeria > Japan > Russia > Panama > Tunisia > Egypt > Saudi Arabia.

So if Belgium wins England or Morocco wins Iran or even worse Tunisia wins Panama , would be considered as an upset? All the underdogs in those 3 situations are the heavy favorites according all the bookmakers...Moreover, u have Iran>Morroco>Russia ,lets say Russia plays against Morocco on knockout stage which is very possible (or Iran), morocco (or Iran) will be the favorite?? i can make a prob bet with u , gambling everything I own ,that there will be no bookmaker in the world offering Morrocco (or even worse Iran) as a favorite in that situation..

P.S. U wrote that for questions No7 and no8 France and Denmark are the favorites but in question No20 u have Peru > Denmark ???

Stuff gets revealed periodically. The baseball thread that should still be on page one is an example. And yes, it would be, bookies are allowed to think that certain rating systems are bad.

I think the bookies never offered iran,peru,morocco etc as favorites in my previous example but anyway..

I want a reply to my previous question too.
In addition whats the payout? I didnt find something about that too.

You must be fun at parties. The questions are pretty clear and the same for everyone

ANSWER THIS MAN'S QUESTIONS 64!

Jeff Lynne's rankings suck! I demand retribution!

Questions are clear and same for everyone but the clarifications and rules aren't.
A gave u a great example of that. For questions 7/8 France/Denmark are favorites (so Peru/Australia are underdogs), but in ELO rankings for question 20, Peru > Denmark... Actually the only problem in those rules is the ELO ranking.. It looks having a lot of mistakes (I guess thats in favor of us) but I wanted a confirmation by the game creator.

Seems pretty clear to me

Good job nobody used league positions as a similar ranking thing the year after Leicester won the league then compared things to the market

Payout has been mentioned but it'll be roughly 50/30/20. If we get a bunch of late entries then I may add a fourth spot for a consolidation 25 quid or there abouts

Can you please expand on all 20 questions by writing a short essay on each one and include any and all disclaimers in the fine print.

Also, full disclosure on how you arrived at that particular payout structure would be nice.

Great sense of humor, u should make a show on BBC!

People paying in USD pay $14 yes?

nm I see it

I'd like them presented with me within 24 hours so I can make counterpoints and rebuttals. In fact I'm planning on putting the whole process under appeal throughout the World Cup. Fanny Freeroll School MBA
