Hey all.
As almost everyone know within several days starts FIFA World Cup 2014 in football. Since I saved little money due to decision just to say farewell to ARMA series instead of buying them I can effort to host a giveaway^^.
I took advantage of this upcoming event and prepared thematic GA. With a tons of questions where I verify your deep knowledge of the history of world football and famous players and....
Blah blah blah. Don't worry, just kidding :)
Although this giveaway is about football, I hope that will be more simpler and also funnier. All you have to do is to guessing the winners. But not the winner of whole cup but winner of each match. The more times you guess the result correctly, the greater chance you can win :)
Each match has penalty score from 10 points (first round) to 60 points (final match). If your guess will be correct, you gain no points. If you guess wrong or forget guess at all you get penalty points. Winner will be player with least score at the end of World Cup. And prize? GOG game in price up to my final score where 1 point is 1 cent, i.e. if my score would be 500 points you get game up to 5$ and so on.

Rules:
Giveaway is open for everyone registered before may 2014.
If you're in, say you're in
To keep threat organized and clean please send your guesses to mail gog.cup (at) gmail.com: But feel free to discuss here as you wish. Don't forget to write you name in subject of each mail so I know who you are :)
Code is for yourself only. No gifting or trading. Thanks.
You play only for your own. But before game starts you can pronounce, that you playing just for fun. Without claims to win.
Each tip must be sent BEFORE start of appropriate matches otherwise your guess will not be accepted.
Guesses are: 1 for win of "home" (left) team. 2 for wins of "away" (right) team or 0 for draw games. Score is taken after 90 minutes. Overtime excluded.
If you forget to send guess, appropriate match will be marked as wrongly guessed.
Giveaways ends 14.7. after the World Cup final.
Current standings will be HERE. I hope to update it at least each day.

That's all for now. If you should any questions don't hesitate to ask.

And here you can see sample of filled sheet.
Cheers.

For the simple people, so you want who will win every match, half time score, final score, and who go against eachother in the (semi) finals?

he just wants you to pick a winner for each game basically, from what i understood instead of predicting the actual score

Okay i got confused because on his example sheet it does seem have such columns included.
Not sure if its okay to use a screenshot from here http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_community_world_cup_pool
or tell us how he prefers the format.

Nice, thanks for the giveaway. I'm in!
In.
New players? Nice^^. Roster updated.
Although some of you sent tips for 3 rounds I published just first round for now. So don't be confused.

And for example. I cleaned it little. You can see that player "winner" won GA with score 430 points. I'm second with 470 points. So in this case would be prize for winner GOG game up to $4.70.

GA is still open for entry.
Thanks a lot truhlik77 for this FIFA World Cup 2014 themed giveaway should be a blast but I am a little confused regarding the point system, so the one with the lowest points at the end wins if I understand correctly? Also are we just supposed to send you the winners of the first round of matches right now and if so then in what format, should it be in the form of the spreadsheet sample?

Thanks again for this and I hope Brazil performs well in the World Cup in their own back yard. :)

EDIT: I have sent an email, hopefully in the correct format for the first round matches. Please do let me know, thanks. :)

E-mail sent, and thus I'm in. :)
I just sent the e-mail with my predictions.
So that means I'm in.

Cool giveaway, btw.

Edit: Oops, by mistake I placed "x" for draws, instead of "0". I hope that's OK.
