<p>Good Afternoon Everyone,</p>
<p> It's time for the World Cup, and I figured it'd be fun to
add a little more reason to root for different teams. For the
last World Cup, a group of friends and I made up a way of
wagering on the group stage, and made it interesting by only
picking certain teams from different groups. With Kyle's help,
we've recreated it for this years world Cup. <br>
</p>
<p> Anyway, the way this works is we each get to pick a certain
number of teams from each tier. <b>Two</b> from the <b>Top
Tier</b>, <b>Three</b> from the <b>Mid Tier</b>, and <b>Three</b>
from the <b>Bottom Tier</b>. Depending on how those teams do
you are awarded points. 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw.
Right now the only games that matter are the group stage games.
Below are the different Tiers and numbers from each Tier. <br>
</p>
<p> If you are interested, please make your picks and send them
to me by the end of the day tomorrow. Pro tip, try to pick teams
from different groups, so that you are not playing against
yourself. This is just for fun/bragging, so no real worries. If
we want to put beers or something on the line then that is also
possible. Either way, it makes it interesting to have different
teams to cheer for. <br>
</p>
<p> Once the picks are in, I'll create the sheet to track the
scores and send out updates as the games go on.<br>
