2014 Armchair Superstar World Cup Pool

Hello Everyone

Welcome back 4 years later to the Armchair Superstar world Cup Pool. We have 7 players coming back from last time and have lost Derek Wilson, but we picked up this blog's favorite reader who isn't a write Tim Fodor (Mark's little brother).

Here are the rules

• Buy-In $20
• 8 Players 
• 4 Teams Per Player
• Team Selection: 4 round snake order draft. Rules explained below. I will get Jamie to rig randomly select the draft order posted below. 
•  Ways to win 
•  ½ Pot goes to Player with the World Cup Winning Team 
• ½ Pot goes to Player with most points in Group Stage  
• Tiebreakers for the group stage will be determined the same way as FIFA does (See section 42.5) which basically goes as follows 
•  Goal Difference in all group Matches
• Greatest number of goals scored in all group matches 
• And then more if needed

Draft

Last time we did this, and I think it worked out pretty well, we did a "slow" draft. Basically the draft start as soon as this post goes up. The person with the #1 pick can take as long or as short as they'd like. As long as all picks are in by the first match which is the 12th.

Picks can be submitted via the blog in the comments, article or you can text me and I will update this article with the new picks.

Here's a link with all the available teams.


I will do my best to update the blog as often as I can with Matches being completed. I know I enjoyed this last time so I hope everyone does as well
