Once these games have been completed the knockout stage pick sheet will be available, where you will fill out a bracket for the remaining 16 teams – due by December 3rd. Your overall score will be determined by the points received in both stages.

Is SBR an approved gambling merchant? Otherwise sounds like a good way to get a paypal account banned (not that I have one...)

[USCPHILLYGUY]

You cant edit picks?

I am not sure. Looked all over and can't see it mentioned in rules or on the game page.

Have you submitted and cant work out how to edit? or just asking?

I'd guess that there will be an edit button up until entries close.

[bonzaii]

In. If your having trouble deciding on picking teams like me who doesn’t know anything about who is better than who in soccer go to a site like Betonline and take a look at the group stage odds under World Cup odds and you will get a better idea of how each group will play out.
