How can we be sure the draw won't be rigged in your favour?


Because I will do a randomizer

and I need 2 more people for everybody to get 2 teams

if you stop being a massive bellend and join in then I need 1


I was more asking how we could trust you to not, for example, furnish me were I to join in with Qatar and Costa Rica?

and what will you do if more people want to join in closer to the time? it's still 7/8 weeks away, so maybe interest hasn't peaked yet?

I'm gonna run mine anyway, but it's entirely different to your in that it's not just pulling a name out of a hat. So i don't see why they can't run happily side by side.

How mine will run - just as i've done the golf ones for 2/3 years

Pick 2 Teams from each pot (4 pots decided by seeding/odds)

Scores will be based on finishing position in the World Cup
Winner - 0 points
Second - 3 points
Third - 6 points
Fourth - 8 points
Losing Q/F - 16 points
Losing R32 - 32 points
Losing Group Round - 64 points

A point will be taken off for each goal scored and added for each conceded at all stages. Normal and extra time both count.

1 point added for each yellow card, 3 points added for each red card

Eg - A team getting knocked out in the Q/F with an overall goal difference of +3, 4 yellows and 1 red would get 20 points

Lowest points total wins.


TLDR sounds biege and complex

I will be completely impartial and will even do the draw recorded if I have too or on zoom

Mine will be a REGULAR sweepstake like a normal person, not needing a maths degree to join

I can understand how picking 2 teams from each pot might be confusing to you, but it really isn't.
