BowenBoys Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) You could try to drive from Wales to Qatar in an electric car. You might attempt to walk from Madrid to Doha (currently in gaol in Iran). Alternatively, join in all the fun of the WAT World Cup prediction competition from the, relatively safe and definitely cooler, comfort of your living room. For the Groups stage you just have to decide the order the teams will finish in. Then for the Knockout phase, it's time for the fun and excitement, the HAs and the AHs, as the very best teams and very best predictors battle for the crown of supreme champion (or lucky b@st@rd). Simples. Edited November 20, 2022 by BowenBoys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted October 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Groups Stage Work through the groups and decide which position each team will finish. For example: Group A. Qatar to finish 4th; Ecuador 3rd; Senegal 1st; Netherlands 2nd. Your entry will be 4312. Repeat for all Groups and post all 32 numbers. One point for each correct position. Bonus point if all four teams in a group are correct. Please note: Only teams that you predict for first or second place in each group will be available for you to select in the knockout phase of the tournament.

Dick Dastardly Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 What is the rule if a team gets kicked out as threatened against Tunisia, or if a team goes too far with political protest (Denmark in the same group are pushing the limits). I can see this World Cup getting very messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

partickthedog Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 BB, thank you for arranging this. Can I keep the particktheunderdog name for this tournament? As you can probably tell from the numbers below, I am following a general "support the underdog" approach, with a few modifications to vote for countries I happen to like for various random reasons and to downgrade countries I do not favour again for random reasons.

Despite my severe reservations about Qatar hosting the world cup and a general lack of interest in international football, i will of course submit an entry in due course from the more temperate climate of the hebrides.
