Any interest in a World Cup Pool?
 
I've been involved in these before and can run it through Yahoo Sports if there is interest.
Have a look at http://ca.wc.fantasysports.yahoo.com/
I thought a commitment of a nice 5'er of what you like to smoke per entrant, winner takes all.
If you want in pm me and I'll set it up and give you the password.
You then put in your picks and get ready to watch some real football.:tu

I am betting the venues won't be ready and it gets cancelled, along with the Olympics!

Very few things in life are certain.
The World Cup will not be cancelled.

Can we disclose results here, or is this a spoiler-free zone?

Man, yesterday's results really hurt me in the standings. I fell from 3 to 5. :tg

stearns 06-20-2014 09:12 AM

Re: Any interest in a World Cup Pool?
 
Havent even checked in on the pool, I should probably do that now. I'll read your message Darryl :tu

Re: Any interest in a World Cup Pool?
 
As expected, down near the bottom. Just looked at how this is scored as well, seems like the group will start to separate after the group rounds. Also didn't realize you get more points for picking the correct scores, guess I shoulda put more effort into that than just cflicking the +/- buttons until I felt like stopping :r

mjdx88 06-23-2014 09:48 AM

Re: Any interest in a World Cup Pool?
 
Yeah I didnt realize how much the points affected the standings....Fixed mine a bit.


Talk about a great match yesterday

hotreds 06-23-2014 09:55 AM

Re: Any interest in a World Cup Pool?
 
At the bottom, but who cares? Lotsa great games and surprise results!

Re: Any interest in a World Cup Pool?
 
Darryl, I shipped your winnings today. I've never shipped anything to Canada before. I'm embarrassed to admit that it didn't even occur to me I'd have to fill out a customs declaration form. That made me panic a bit. I hope the damn box reaches you.

Customs Form #: LC476214789US

It's not in the system yet. Already checked. :lv

mjdx88 07-18-2014 07:55 AM

Re: Any interest in a World Cup Pool?
 
Same Here..


Didnt realize the Form # was tracking: LC238241409US
