Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 10, 2018 Subscriber Posted June 10, 2018 With the World Cup starting in just a few days, we all need yet another forum competition to take part in, another Last Man Standing competition. Rules This is very simple, you have to choose one nailed on match winner from each round of fixtures, but you cannot choose a team more than once! The group stages will be split into three sets of fixtures, simply the first, second and third fixture for each group. Exceptions Strategically, this is a bit different from the last competition, as if you choose Germany, Brazil, France, Spain to get you through the Group Stage and Second Round, then the Quarter Final draw somehow looks like this... Germany v Australia Brazil v Tunisia France v Panama Spain v Saudi Arabia ... then there will be no special exceptions made - you cannot choose the same team twice in this situation! However, if you make it as far as the Semi Final or Final and all/both of the remaining teams (e.g. a final of Germany v Brazil and you've already used both) then I'll have no choice but to let you choose one of them again. In fact, if you do make it to the Final and you haven't picked both of the finalists at some point this would be quite a big mathematical anomaly. This is the only exception though! Tie Breaker If we get to the final and we haven't yet gotten down to our last man, we will decide the winner either by the additional pick of First Goalscorer in the Final, or the Time of First Goal with the closest person winning. Which one depends on whether we have 2-3 contenders or 10 contenders. Please let me know if you are interested and start making your picks, if this doesn't get much of a response I won't run it. For the first round of fixtures you can choose from any of the 32 qualified teams: Russia v Saudi Arabia Egypt v Uruguay Morocco v Iran Portugal v Spain France v Australia Argentina v Iceland Peru v Denmark Croatia v Nigeria Costa Rica v Serbia Germany v Mexico Brazil v Switzerland Sweden v South Korea Belgium v Panama Tunisia v England Colombia v Japan Poland v Senegal @Blue @LFCMadLad @The Artful Dodger @carefreeluke @Teso dos Bichos @The Palace Fan @The Rebel CRS @Inverted @ScoRoss @StefBWFC @Bluebird Hewitt @SirBalon @nudge @LFCMike @Dr. Gonzo @Storts @El Profesor @Spike @BounceAroundTheGround @Machado @Panflute @DeadLinesman @...Dan @DeadLinesman @Cicero @Devon Von Devon @Stan @Smiley Culture @Chaaay AFC @Panna King @Fusion @Dan @Harry @bozziovai @JOSHBRFC @Mel81x @Toinho @Marc @Chadwell @Batard @Bluewolf @BartraPique1932 @Tommy @shut up @Kitchen Sales @Faithcore (out of service) @Danny @Devil-Dick Willie @6666 @Berserker @Rucksackfranzose @tlr @Happy Blue @Viva la FCB @Eco @The Liquidator @Gunnersauraus @Peemeejo @Fairy In Boots @Cannabis @ASF @Rab @Dalmore @True Blue @londonerlilie All others welcome of course!
Dave Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I went for Spain first in 2010 and 2014. Monumental mistake Shoot me up for Germany in the first round then England in the second. I'm on holiday from Tuesday so need to get mine in now.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 10, 2018 Subscriber Posted June 10, 2018 First round I'll take a risk and go with Sweden.
Administrator Stan Posted June 10, 2018 Administrator Posted June 10, 2018 Definitely in. Russia to start with. May edit this though before Thursday!

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 10, 2018 Author Subscriber Posted June 10, 2018 This is a difficult call for the first set of fixtures, but for now I'm going with Argentina. Im likely to bottle it though and swap to one of the big guns before Thursday. I prefer it if everyone can make their picks by Thursday but as there's no advantage to waiting as it only narrows your options, I will accept picks for remaining matches up until kick off of the last match in that round.

Administrator Batard Posted June 10, 2018 Administrator Posted June 10, 2018 Yep. In. As with all things, best someone sends me reminders
Pig on the Wing Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 In. I'll go with Colombia for the first round.
Inverted Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 Colombia. On holiday so I may fall out by default through not responding.
