I will publish a website, not related to FBG's, so if you want to invite people from the outside, they don't have to know about the forums.

Charvik - Dd you set this up? I'm waiting for the separate website to invite a few friends.

I haven't yet, no, but will shortly... trying to find a place to set up a free site, or use one of my host locations to create one, just haven't done so yet. Maybe I'll try to do it tonight...

Looks like wix.com has free sites, with templates and hosting. I am going to try that out tonight, to see if I can whip something up quickly...

 

[guru_007]

I'm sure I'll be in....quick question are multiple entries allowed or will that be shunned upon?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

I don't mind taking more of your money, guru.

Multiple entries are fine.

Still working on this... It's going a little slow, because the web site is slightly cumbersome. I guess I could put up a temp site...

I don't think a separate site is necessary - was really only asking in case you had posted it and I'd missed it.

yeah, I know, but going on prior experience it helps for non/FFA people to get updates... I plan on sending it to some people I know in the UK, and prefer to keep them away from here...

 

[charvik]

Alright, I pushed something out quickly...

http://charvik7.wix.com/wcpool2014

It's a free site, but no need to create something permanent for just a month and a half.

I am getting the sorry something went wrong message on onedrive. I think it's me though because I can access from my phone (but spreadsheet too complex for phone I guess) and it shows correctly there. Anyone else get a problem trying to pull down spreadsheet on pc?

Did you try the updated link:

[guru_007]

yeah, I had problems opening the file directly - however, downloads and opens on my pc no issue at all

yeah, opening directly probably won't work

 

[B Maverick]

thinking about it....

(and a bump)

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Might need to submit a revised entry...

 

[Sebowski]

I petition that there be a star next to the names of former champs on the first page World Cup style.

 

[Sebowski]

I'm sure I'll be in....quick question are multiple entries allowed or will that be shunned upon?

I will shun you, but that doesn't really mean much. I hate multiple submission for these kinds of things. Too much gamesmanship. I want everyone's one and best bracket, then I want to beat it. Again.

 

[comfortably numb]

bump

 

[Ominous Johnson]

Ominous Johnson is in if there is still time.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Ominous Johnson is in if there is still time.

"needs to be submitted to me via email before June 5th" - from the OP. I'll have mine and a few others in on June 4.

payment sent

 

[Guster]

One of my coworkers might be interested. I'll try to convince him this week

 

[guru_007]

Just filled out my preliminary bracket....should submit on Mon-Tue.

Argentina just a ####### cake walk here. Also decided to sprinkle some money on WC bets....well, started as a sprinkle, ended up as a downpour.

 

[charvik]

sorry, been neglecting this thread due to real life things... will try to update with all submissions and info today.

bracket sent to charvik @ the g mails

 

[Jayrod]

I think I'd like to donate $20 to someone. I'm already pumped about this World Cup, but having some skin in the game could make it even more enjoyable. I'll try to get it figured out & sent in by the deadline.

Cheers!

will add as I find it... Not going to go through the big soccer thread, but this is a good start... we are still a month out.

Tally:

Paid: 12

In: 20

Maybe: 3

========

35 so far, a little more than a week(!) out before the first game.

35 people in, 12 paid so far. Going to go through my emails to ensure I haven't missed any sheets...

 

[charvik]

I am filling out my 12(?) version of the sheet right now... Pretty sure I have had different winners in all.

YESSSSSSSSSSS

Here's some I've already played:

Germany to advance to Quarterfinals

Germany to advance to semifinals

Australia rock bottom of their group (played it at -315, real heavy vig)

Costa Rica rock bottom of their group (played it at -325, again really heavy vig)

I'm sure I'll be playing tons of games - but unfortunately I'll be in Vegas for the first week of games

I'll do my best to check in here with what I've got.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Okay I got my excel sheet filled out

Will submit with payment tonight

And then I will lose

Can't do worse than me... I was dead last the first year, 30th-ish the second, and 2nd to last after someone's 1.5yr old drooling on a printed out sheet.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

I'll submit a minimum of three tonight or early tomorrow at latest.

 

[charvik]

I'll submit a minimum of three tonight or early tomorrow at latest.

then we would be at 37, if all join...

 

[QuizGuy66]

Maybe I'll do a 2nd one.

Then I can lose twice.

I'll try to get a sheet filled out by tomorrow night.

 

[sbonomo]

I can't open this damn thing.

 

[QuizGuy66]

I can't open this damn thing.

I had the same problem. Download the zip and open it on you're own computer. That should work.

One friend just reported, "Spreadhseet doesn't support Mac unless I buy an Office for Mac suite."

Anything he can do?

 

[El Floppo]

Don't do it!!!

I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO!???!!11!!!1

Still available for tonight?

Not sure... what types of sheets does Mac support? I can save it as an OpenOffice document, but it will lose a lot of the functionality.

Yeah, today and tomorrow is fine. Honestly, the deadline is mainly so that I can get the master sheet out in time for first kickoff.

Don't worry about it. His loss.
