Will need to confer with The Ray and DS on this one.....soccer is the game where you kick the ball, right?

So look for my entry by the deadline!

Sounds like fun!

Oh soccer..... I didn't think a World Cup was football, baseball or hockey.

 

[Dom13]

Just a reminder only about 5 hours left. The way this Cup has been going you will need more luck than soccer knowledge!!

Our German traders would be very disappointed if we didn't root for them!
Yay! Rah! Go Germany!

Hi Dom,

E-mail sent through the dispins e-mail system; please let me know if you don't receive. My son and husband worked hard together on this and took it very seriously

 

[Dom13]

Sharon I got your e-mail.

I will update the brackets so those of you that entered can keep track.

Dom,

How are we doing this? Will it be the person who picked the most winners at the end of the tourney or will it be the person who guessed right for the end of the tourney or some other way?

Thanks.

Shari

P.S. Did you receive my picks? Can you tell us how many are playing?

 

[Dom13]

Brackets are up to date.

Shari you will get 1 point for each correct answer in the round of 16, 2 pts. for each correct pick in the round of 8, 3 pts. for each correct answer in the semi-finals, and 4 pts. if you pick the champion. The 3rd place game will be used as the first tie breaker. The second tie breaker will be the most correct answers, the third tie breaker will be penatly kicks , and if we are still tied I'll pull the winner out of a hat.

Well, I'm officially out of the running for the fabulous title of DIS World Cup Champion 2002. Out of a possible total of 32 points, I managed to acquire 5! I thought I was doing so well after the first round but it stopped there. This was great fun. Thanks for arranging it Dom. And good luck to the rest of you. Can't wait to hear the outcome!
