I am competitive ... I'm IN ...
Is there goign to be a bracket thingy??
There was a contest before where clubjuggle set up a bracket on-line.
Even if there isn't one, count me in.

Nice one fellers

Once we've got enough players (8 more to go) I'll do the draw, make up the tables, and I'll update them every evening in my original post. Once we get to the knockout stages I'll stick up a game tree or something. Now, where is Rasdub, Arsenal, and others when you need them? :)

front_element - That's what I originally would have liked to do. But with everybody not having paypal, credit cards, living in different countries and such I thought it might prove to be a little difficult, Especially with the World cup only being tomorrow. Perhaps the winner gets to recieve a critique/comment on one of their photographs from the losers or something *Shrugs shoulders*


That's a good idea. Why not have each 'loser' critique one image (not just a few words or a single line) from the person that 'beat' them in that round?

im in! (if there is still a spot)
 06/09/2006 04:55:24 AM · #47
Apologies to dr_timbo and terje. All of the places had been taken up. Hope you enjoy the world cup all the same.

Hey, this is cool, I got Switzerland!!! France, you're cooked on the first game!!! It's on 13th, my lucky number!!!!! big grin :-P

And I think the group D is by far the most interesting. Just imagine the games:

1. Catholicskin-Waysofseeing (Mexico-Iran)
2. Catholicskin-front_element (Mexico-Angola)
3. Waysofseeing-front_element (Iran-Angola)

...hahahaha

Let the games begin....only 6 hours left!!!!

All teams/users have been randomly selected. You can find out your team by visiting the tables page here

Upcoming fixtures can be found here

I'll update the tables page every evening, and will post the final scores on this thread.

To make things slightly more interesting

The loser of a match has to leave a comment on one of their victors photographs.

If a match is a draw, then a photo comment must be exchanged by each user who are facing each other in that match.

The winner of the world cup will have a comment/critique left by all other countries/usernames that took part in the competition.

How does something like this sound to generate a few comments? Obviously it's not to be taken too seriously, please don't feel you HAVE TO leave comments on a winning users photographs. For those with no photographs in their portfolio/profile yet (There only seems to be one user) we'll just have to give them an IOU :)-

Let the games begin

oh, and C'mon Iran
