It will work just like the NCAA pick-em...but I will run it via ESPN (instead of yahoo)

Post Ante sticks here. A fiver per bracket. Sticks should be $10+ retail.

Scoring (copied from ESPN...where the pool will run)
The scoring is pretty simple. A correct pick is scored accordingly:

Group stage: 1 point per correct pick (48 matches = 48 total points up for grabs)
Round of 16: 2 points per correct pick (8 matches = 16 total points)
Quarterfinals: 4 points per correct pick (4 matches = 16 total points)
Semifinals: 8 points per correct pick (2 matches = 16 total points)
Third-place game: 8 points per correct pick (1 match = 8 total points)
Final: 16 points per correct pick (1 match = 16 total points)

I'm in....will post a fiver once I dig them out.

Hit me with a PM once you post ante sticks and I'll send you the link for joining.

I think this is going to be a tough sell here. I love the World Cup but have no clue who would be a favorite in most matches even.

I'll give this a go. Here's my ante: Tat Cojonu 2012 Capa, Illusione Epernay, DC Maximus, Oliva Master Blend 3 churchill, Litto Gomez Diez Small Batch V.

In!

I don't know what I'm doing. I just checked boxes. I'll see of that will work out for me

Me too! Nothing like flipping a coin.

Apparently, we'll make another set of picks once the group stage is over. It appears that each round has its own set of picks.

Id be more interested in putting up part of gumby's action. I know nothing about soccer but I do know he somehow wins everything.

Wait...did you want in? I'm confused.
