Coming up to the deadline for entries just one day left. The pot is going to be BIG. Just a little breakdown of what will happen next. Thursday morning I will open up another page that shows the full listing of all entries. You can generate your own personal pdf copy. I will also email everyone with a copy of the pdf. If it is too large I will post it in the File Share on the site. You can find that in the top right hamburger menu on the home page.
Once the first game starts and I can see the data being sent back from the API feed there may be some time to get the scoreboard and leaderboard fully functional. It is difficult to fully test this until data starts to come in. Yes we use a free API this is what lets us run these little competitions without taking any cut. We are confident this will be done before end of the first game. Then you can enjoy real time updates for the rest of the 72 group stage games.
We shall also announce the split of the pot. This is not a unilateral decision we have been polling our regulars and the unanimous consensus is to load up the first place prize. The second and third will still get enough to have made it worthwhile entering. We hope this offering adds to your enjoyment of the World Cup. Many entrants have no real interest in football unless it is of the American version.
Best of luck to everyone that has entered.
