World Cup Sweepstake

[Leon]

As the World Cup gets started very soon, I thought it might be fun to add a bit of extra interest to proceedings by having a competition!  

I've arranged all of the World Cup teams in random order on a sheet here at Pendraken HQ and assigned them a number.  Simply choose a number and before the first match kicks off I'll reveal the countries behind the numbers!  Whoever picked the winning team/number gets themselves £20 credit!  We'll give £10 to the runner-up and £5 to each of the losing semi-finalists.

Some quick rules:

- You must have claimed a number by 3pm on Thursday 14th June.  The first match kicks off at 4pm.  You may change your number up until that point.
- Each person can only claim one number.
- Numbers can be claimed by multiple people so that we can have more than 32 forum members taking part.  Everyone will win a prize, so if 4 people have number 14, which turns out to be Brazil and they win, all 4 people get a £20 credit prize.
- Any questions, let me know!

So, pick yourselves a number and we'll see what happens!
