You can enter your picks in several ways:
The method detailed below (email, fax, or mail)
Using page 3 of Word document (email, fax, or mail)
You will make 80 choices in this pool- all before the first match is played! You will pick the 48 winners of the round robin matches, the 16 teams who will advance to the Round of 16, the 8 teams who will make it to the Quarterfinals, the 4 teams who will make it to the Semifinals, the 2 teams in the Final Match, the 2002 World Cup champion, and a tiebreaker total goals prediction. Note you don’t have to make any predictions in the 3rd place match anymore (I didn’t even know they reinstated it). Here is what we will need from you:
NAME: Your full name
EMAIL/PHONE #: Your email address (preferred) or your phone number… if you win we need a way to contact you! Also, there will be a periodic email update every other day or so.
NICKNAME: Something short, something sweet…. be forewarned- if you don't choose a nickname we will choose one for you!
(Now to your picks…)
GROUP A (6): List the six winners in order of group play (see next page) (if you want to be safe, list the game number then winner; e.g., “1-France, 3-Uruguay, 18-France, 20-Denmark, 33-Senegal, 34-France” instead of “FRA, URU, FRA, DEN, SEN, FRA” which is fine to do, if you have got them in the right order)
GROUP B (6): Same as above
GROUP C (6): Same as above
GROUP D (6): Same as above
GROUP E (6): Same as above
GROUP F (6): Same as above
GROUP G (6): Same as above
GROUP H (6): Same as above
Round of 16 (16): List the 16 teams advancing into the Round of 16 (top 2 teams in each Group) (NOTE: It does not matter how you picked the round-robin matches)
Quarterfinalists (8): List the 8 teams who will reach the Quarterfinals (2 each from Groups A/F, Groups C/H, Groups B/E, Groups D/G)
Semifinalists (4): List the 4 teams who will reach the Semifinals (2 each from Groups A/C/F/H and Groups B/D/E/G)
Finalists (2): List the 2 teams who will play for the 2002 World Cup title (1 each from Groups A/C/F/H and Groups B/D/E/G)
Total Goals: In case of a tie, predict the total number of goals scored in
BOTH the 3rd place and Final matches (NOT including penalty kick tiebreaker goal (e.g., in the 1994 World Cup Final match, no goals were scored, even though Brazil won on penalty kicks 1-0)). You can pick in ˝ goal increments (i.e., 4.5 goals). The tiebreaker is just “closest to”, so if one person guesses 3.5 goals and another 4.5 goals and the actual total is 4 goals, then there is a tie.
