Now that we've reached the knockout stage, would any Fort members want to do a pick 'em tournament for the World Cup?
I'm thinking the scoring would be:
Correct pick in round of 16 = 1 pt. each
Correct pick in quarterfinals = 2 pts. each
Correct pick in semifinals = 3 pts. each
Correct pick of champion = 5 pts.
Tiebreaker - Total # of goals scored in the knockout stages
If people are interested they can just post their guesses in this thread, and I'd be happy to do all the points tabulation. I don't have any prize to offer outside of pride in dominating other Forters in competition, but big money payouts have become cliche anyways, right?
I'll get the ball rolling with my picks.
Round of 16: Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, Belgium, Spain, Croatia, Sweden, Columbia
Quarters: Uruguay, Belgium, Spain, Sweden
Semis: Uruguay, Spain
Champion: Uruguay
Total Goals: 31
Caveat - If before the Russia vs. Spain game, they show a shot of the ref sweating profusely while constantly looking over his shoulder...I change my picks to have Russia winning every game.
