Anyway, I still would like to play classic pool where we predict scores on Superbru ~~(or kicktipp)~~. I already can't imagine big football tournament without it Cheesy

I will definitely play in this new format but i'm also down for a side pool with the regulars on Superbru, even if it means the pool is not sponsored.

There will be regular pool and it will be sponsored, don't worry. This is just cherry on top.

@LTU_btc
10 questions per match day, there is 8 groups so every round will probably last 4 days. We will take care to carefully choose games and always leave you at least a day to put the results in. Probably even 2 since we can post new bunch before round ends if necessary.

@igehhh
Why look at it as spending 3.5 mBTC. I guess you should be able to win most of those bets and this competition is intended for active bettors that should actually play much more than that and then requirement can be seen as just sharing one of your tickets. Places are limited so apply as soon as possible and then drop out if necessary.

@notblox1
Well you can always join the pool and not this one. That will be regular result predictions.

Slava Ukraini!

That's something new, I'm interested to try. It will be interesting how it will work. As I understand, we have to answer questions before each round in Google forms and then you with Trofo will manually count results. World Cup will have very intensive calendar with 4 group games played each day and some games will start quite early. So, there won't be that much time to fill questions. And it require a bit more time than making score predictions on Superbru Cheesy

. But prize pot is worth efforts.

It was on the back of my mind that if anything like this came up, I'd love for you guys to manage, really pleased that it's happened so thanks Sportsbet and team Cro!

I'm in, of course, and already left my username on the registration thread.

Some dumb questions out of the way:

0.5mbtc or equivalent, right? Or it has to be BTC bets?
What's the approx time for answering questions? In other words, how able will people be able to Google answers, haha. I prefer really fast rounds so no one has Google advantage
Just curious but is it football team+player knowledge or general World Cup trivia? e.g., will it be "Better xg stats, Ronaldo or Messi?" or "Who was the mascot in World Cup 98"... I'll suck at both but may have a better chance if it's more general knowledge rather than obscure trivia.

I think 0.5 mBTC equivalent can be ok. Important thing is that you play the ticket on Sportsbet. Good question and I believe we will change that bit in the rules. Especially now when Sportsbet has binance promo would be stupid the make the restrictions.

That means anyone who makes it to the final must have spent around 3.5mBTC? Because each player can only play seven games in a world cup competition. 3 games in the group stage, R16, Quarter, Semi, and Final (7 games x 0.5= 3.5mBTC) correct?

Whoever fails to place a bet is disqualified in each round, right?

I thought about time factor, not sure it will get implemented though. Not so important since all the questions will be in regard to upcoming games, google will be able to help with some stuff for sure but we will try to make them in a way where person who actually watches National football has the maximum advantage. Hope that covers it all.

Is this a question about individual players or about the team? What platforms are we using for this quiz pool?

I was expecting a World Cup prediction pool, but this sounds cool with a few limitations if you ask me. I've reserved a spot and hope to be a part of this if I'm still breathing during the World Cup. Life stinks.

Loving this cro2 team already!!! Hahah

I registered to participate in this competition, but I am not sure I will be active in all rounds, and I am not exactly thrilled with answering questionnaire in google form all the time.
We talked about World Cup competition and I hoped more we are going to have some form of result predictions for matches, and I don't know anything about many national teams participating in this World Cup.

Sportsbet's Bitcointalk World Cup 2022 discussion

The general summary of all the rules can be found in this thread.

A short overview is as follows:

Cro2 team (Trofo & cryptofrka) will be hosting Bitcointalk's World Cup sponsored by industry leader Sportsbet
32 players will be divided into 8 groups – we'll be using the same system as in the actual World Cup
The points will be collected by answering a questionnaire (to be filled in Google forms before every round)
It will consist of 10 questions per round that will require some football knowledge to answer
Total prize pool will be 3500$ in BTC
The timeline is the same as in the actual World Cup – with competition lasting until the WC final
There will be 7 rounds in total (3 in the group stages, 1 for R16, QF, SF and final/3rd place)
To participate in the round, the player has to play a 0,5 mBTC ticket on Sportsbet before the start of that round.
Rank Member and higher can participate, with Trofo and cryptofrka excluded from the competition
The registration will be on a FCFS principle, if we will have more than 32 players we will keep them in reserve in case that some people fail to participate in the 1st round.
After the 1st round is complete, the registrations will be fully closed

Please familiarize yourselves with all the rules in the following thread, this is just a short summary.

It’s time to brush up on your football knowledge, the World Cup is less than 3 weeks away!
