Footy Sweepstake - are you in?


Recommended Posts

Separate thread for the Sweepstake for FIFA 2018 World Cup (hope this is okay mods).

Keeping it seperate from the other football threads for ease of organisation.

Basically just let me know if you’re interested and we’ll take it from there.

We ideally need 32 entries, but we could do 16 x 2 teams each.

Count me in.

And if you need a nudge to make sure the right people get the right teams *wink* then ...

If anyone is reading who normally organises these things on TRL and would like to organise again feel free to shout up!

I could probably do a randomised matching of teams with sweepstake competitors in Excel. It'll be good practice for me, anyway.

Just figured out the randomisation method.

Now, all we need are competitors. If we don't get 32 TRL members taking part, any member knocked out can be randomly assigned a surviving team.

How do you play

Put your name forward, and you will be randomly matched with one of the 32 countries in the World Cup. See whose team wins in the final. That simple.

Hopefully we'll be up to 32 over the weekend. I'll do a sophisticated live bribe-free draw on my phone, and away we go.

Webby'll be along shortly to offer the customary amazing prize of a TRL tea-mug......

Or maybe just "kudos".

Just seen Futtocks' post. Happy to hand over the draw (in exchange for getting Spain).

Okay, that's ten names already - 22 to go (unless I've missed someone out).

I don't like football and won't be watching any games, but I'm up for this.  Count me in please.
