TITS World Cup Prediction Competition

Quite a few people have asked us to do another Prediction Competition for The World Cup, so due to popular demand, a competition entry form will be coming to you by e-mail to all those who have entered last time around.

The format is to predict the result and scorelines from selected group matches (usually two games per day), predict each group winner, the bottom placed nation and the eventual World Cup winners.

50% of the money goes to the Winner and the other half goes to Bees United.
For the Euro2004 Competition, the winner walked away with something like £400, the previous World Cup prediction winner collected over £500 from memory.

Each day there will be an updated table on this website thanks to Banana and the team for letting us use this facility.

This is a major fundraiser and one that you can get your family, friends and work collegues into. Each entry is £10.

If you are not on the Thorne in the Side database, please feel free to PM me with your e-mail address to receive a form.

Please tout this around family and friends to make his another outstanding success!

Regards,

Thorne in the Side Fanzine.

Good question.

I thought it a good idea if BU ran a World Cup Comp which could stand alongside and independant to the GPG one (Nick and Rich agreed their would be no conflict).

I had agreement from the Chronicle that they would run the competition in all their newspapers for the whole of May (a big commitment and a big support for BFC on their part, if i could get it off the ground.

I spent a whole week off work trying to gain a major sponsor for the event (I was attempting to get a new car as a prize from a local car dealer). In the end, despite lots of probablies and maybes, I failed to get the hoped for sponsor, and time ran out to get the competition up and running.

Sorry to not run the event, especially as I put in lots of effort to get it up and running. (It does prove how difficult it is to get major sponsorship for events, and therefore for the club to raise major funds).

As far as I am concerned I will be concentrating soon on another project (and after that another) to bring in the needed cash. If one idea doesn't work I' ll try something else.

Meantime, good luck to the Hesters with this competition which I will certainly be entering, and almost certainly failing at, too.

Hi Nick,

Just looked at the attachment and all the group games are not on the list is this correct?
For instance 10 Jun - Trinidad play Sweden!
There are 14 games not included (48 games but only 34 on the list)

btw - I am going to have at least ten entries! All non-bees fans!

Cheers
Jason

Yep thats correct, its just so that there are at least two games per day, three sometimes to predict, otherwise it takes too long etc..

Look forward to receiving your entries!!
 

TITS World Cup Prediction Competition

A few people have said that they have not received their entry form yet?

Can a few of you confirm that they in fact have so that I know it is not a delivery error? (Or is it just B2B who hasn't paid his broadband subscription?)
 

TITS World Cup Prediction Competition

Just to let you know I hadn't received the form either Nick just used the attachment on this thread!
So sorted anyway

Cheers

IMPORTANT!!!

A few people have PM'd me to say that they have sent in forms (with cheques) but their name is not on the above update list.

If your name IS NOT on the list and you sent in forms over two or three days ago, I HAVE NOT received your entry...

Looks like the Old Post Office is up to it again? (I blame Bish!)

Please check and re-send if poss.

Your cheque WILL NOT be cashed twice.
 

TITS World Cup Prediction Competition

Managed to shift a few forms at the race night last night. Hopefully you should get another few from that source. Am also going to the golf evening next week and will take a stack with me and see what happens.
