    3. Third choice finishes third or higher: 1 point

    Elimination rounds– Maximum to win in these rounds is 120 points for a contest total of 200.
    Points awarded as follows:

    Round of 16 (8 games x 5 points each) – Pick straight up winners of each
    Round of 8 (4 games x 10 points each) – Pick straight up winners of each
    Semi-finals & Finals: You will pick the top 3 finishers of the tournament (in order) similar to the groups of 4 in the prelim round with ONE post.
    1. First choice wins World Cup: 25 points
    2. Second choice is champion or finishes second: 10 points

            nice, finally a soccer contest from SBR. It is true that is harder to organize than a NBA one :P

              Hope this works out to be a challenging one, mihaita! Good mix of picking group finish orders and some straight up game winners. I am sure some will say "Wow, that's going to be so easy" but we'll see

                                Is there a way we can have a SBR points contest or some other contest that doesn't rely on another sportsbook funding it? It's great that you guys opened this (thank you), I'm sure a lot of people will get involved, but some of us don't want to sign up to another sports book for these things.

                                thanks.

                                                      I won't be able to participate since SportsInteraction doesn't allow signups from the Netherlands

                                                      Good luck on all who enter
