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!

Event One

It costs 50 gold to bet up front for first place winner --> 150 gold = Winning 100 gold

It costs 30 gold to bet up front for second place winner --> 90 gold = Winning 60 gold

Winners will get back 2x the amount they bid + IM prize 1!

 

Event Two

Gold Multiplier for Event 2

Round of 16 Buy in - 10g x 2 = 20g x 8 bets = 160g

Quarter Finals Buy in - 20g x 3 = 60g x 4 bets = 240g

Semi Finals Buy in - 30g x 4 = 120g x 2 bets = 240g + IM Prize 3

Finals Buy in - 40g x 5 = 200g + IM Prize 2

1.  Players may only bet once on every round and may not change their bet.  Once you've decided, there's no going back.

2.  Post in the thread (when the bidding poles open):

Event: 1/2

Teams I'm Betting For:

In Game Name:

Gold Already Sent: Y/N

3.  Before your vote counts as valid, you must mail your gold to WorldCup14.  You may bet on multiple teams at the same time as I did below.

There will be an excel sheet posted for you to see and will be updated every time someone bids.

 

*Prizes and rules subject to change at anytime.

hmmm no offend, please don't hate me

 

is this contest made solely by you? (read the * if the answer is yes)

*what happen if everyone gets the winner team right? you are the one responsible to pay them all? you will bankrupt?

*and if the opposite happens, you will be the only winner?

 

sorry, I just can't imagine how this can happen without the GM supervising

btw, make it so only 18+ can join, gambling is no good (just my opinion, even though its in game currency) xD

I must say, the description above and the banner are very well made (its contest, not cotest btw, just a little mistake xD)  

but it can still happen that people transfer their gold to WorldCup14 and then, the WorldCup14 transfer all the gold to his main account

something like that (I guess im just too cautious)

 

Personally, I would join if the one who posted is Rabbicarpo2011 because he has 1122 forum posts or a Mod or even better by ShazamO

kinda hard to believe someone with 14 forum posts

and then again, this topic is pinned, which means ShazamO approved xD

 

I hope my worries are totally unnecessary

have fun guys

I can delete the post if you want and have Tamale repost it :)  It's no offense at all~

 

All the questions you brought up I have considered them.  There is a reason why the gold rewards aren't in the 1000g range, it's just so that I can actually pay off if a lot of people do win.  Also the possibility of everybody winning is next to none.  It's almost impossible to predict the winner.  If the opposite happens, yes, being the bank, we keep the gold.  This is something that comes with bidding.  We can either win big or lose everything. :ok:  However the way that I arranged the prize is that if you win, you win a lot.  Especially with higher stakes, there will be IM prizes involved (provided by ShazamO).

 

I think there shouldn't be any restriction of who can join.  It's the reason why the entry bid is so low, it's so more people can participate.

 

I'm freaking out right now because I made a mistake in contest!!  I showed it to a couple different people and nobody noticed XD! *hides under rock*

 

I talked with ShazamO and I also wasn't sure if I should post it because I am relatively new on the forum.  He encouraged me to do so since Tamale (rabbicarpo) and I will be overseeing the entire thing.

 

I guess the only thing I can do is guarantee you that I won't steal your gold.  The WorldCup14 character actually belongs to Rabbicarpo if that will be of any help.

 

I hope that will help :)  Let me know if you have any more question.

great, then my worries are unnecessary since you got ShazamO and Rabbicarpo2011 to back you up

btw, no need to repost it, you have my support too xD

 

I bring that up because there were people who use the mail to trick people by saying (you win! congrat! provide your ID and PW and we will send you the prizes, something like that)

 

I think im not the one doubting, so now that we bring that up here, things get cleared up for many others =)

 

Thank for being involved in making events here 

Glad to have you here =D

ShazamO gave us the ok to post it, and as Shanni said, he is also contributing to the prizes and rewards. And the fear of being scammed really isn't an option because if it were to happen, ShazamO knows the only 2 culprit.
