FIFA World Cup is an international event that is held once every four years. Qualifying countries from all over the world compete in soccer (football) for the world cup! Every year this exciting event is held in a different country. This year it is held in Brazil. FIFA runs from June 12 - July 13.
Event One
16 countries will verse each other until there is a winning team and runner-up that will be revealed July 13th. The game proceeds Round of 16 > Quarter Finals > Semi Finals > Finals. Starting at the beginning of Round of 16 (June 28th), people will bid on the country that they think will take home the world cup and the team that will come in second. You will have until July 3rd to make your bid.
It costs 50 gold to bet up front for first place winner.
It costs 30 gold to bet up front for second place winner.
Winners will get back 2x the amount they bid + special IM prize.
Event Two
The 16 countries will verse each other starting June 28th. They are split into 8 groups, winners that have advanced in the preliminary rounds from Group A-H. The schedules can be foundhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup#Knockout_stage. Each group has 2 teams within it like this:
Only one team will make it out of each group, while the other country go home with a lost. Players will bid on which teams make it out of the group (bracket). They will continue to bid on the winner that makes it out of each bracket. There are 4 brackets excluding third place play-offs. Round of 16 > Quarter Finals > Semi Finals > Finals. So there would be a total of 4 rounds of bidding.
Starting June 20th, players will have a chance to bid on their winning teams from each bracket. They must bid 24 hours before the game they bet on starts. Players will only have one chance of bidding, and they may not change their bid. In Round of 16 buyers will buy in with 10g, in Quarter Final the buy in will be 20g, in Semi Finals the buy in will be 30g, and in the Finals the buy in will be 40g. Look for the thread update for the poll opening!
