2010 World Cup Pick Em

[Byrd]

Bump to remind people to make their picks for the 2nd round in Soccer Pick Em.

bumping this mostly to keep it easy to find for everyone, but also to remind people that there's a 3rd place game to pick for as well as the final


the 2nd game is freaking intense heh, nobody's led by more than 2 the whole time


only 5 people had the dutch in the final in bracket pick 'em, so yeah those of us that did all just jumped to the top heh

I was noticing that myself. I figure there's a reasonable chance the whole thing ends up in a tie. Here's the tiebreaker rules for the grand prize, which I usually use to determine the group tiebreaker:

Tiebreaker #1 - An Entrant's predicted Tiebreaker Game Score is compared to the actual game score. The differences between the predicted score and actual score for each team are added together into a combined total. The entry with the smallest total is considered the winning entry.
Tiebreaker #2 - The Entrant's predicted score for the winning team that is closest to the actual score of the winning team is considered the winning entry.
Tiebreaker #3 - The Entrant whose date of entry creation was recorded in the system the earliest.

Presumably, we pick scores for the final game, and that's the tiebreaker. But I think tiebreaker #3 is stupid; hopefully, it doesn't come down to that even though, as the group winner, I would automatically win. If it does, we should work out some sort of over/under on the minute of the third tiebreaker in case we end up tied. I guess we can cross that bridge when we come to it (i.e. only the final is left and people are separated by 0 or 1 points).

[Plow]

Well, if we end up 1 point apart going into the final, and then end up tied...


That means you picked the final right and I didn't, I'm willing to concede on that basis.

I was rooting for the Krauts after the US was ousted. Guess Spain gets my vote now
