    If they tie for 12, then they both don't ship a box and don't receive a box. It becomes a complete wash for those 2.

    If it's a three way tie for 12th, I don't want to think about it.

    The tiebreaker is as defined by ESPN. As dictator, I declare that we will not use tiebreaker #6.

    • Tiebreaker #1 - The predicted number of total goals scored by the winning team is compared to the actual number of total goals scored by the winning team. The entry with the smallest total difference is considered the winning entry.
    • Tiebreaker #2 - Number of points scored in the Finals.
    • Tiebreaker #3 - Number of points scored in the Semifinals.
    • Tiebreaker #4 - Number of points scored in the Quarterfinals.
    • Tiebreaker #5 - Number of points scored in the Group Stage.
    • Tiebreaker #6 - The entrant whose date of entry creation was recorded in the system the earliest.

    So not price is right rules.

    #6 - I agree, that'd be pretty arbitrary and there's no way we need it.

    Thank you. I thought that was the case, but needed to confirm.

    I misread the tiebreaker and figured it was "how many goals will the winning team score in the final game?". So my answer is 2. I'm not looking real strong in the event of a tie.

    Maybe a lot of 0-0 games with winners on PKs?

    It's ok, I think I went too high in the other direction, not realizing there are only 7 games if you play all the way through.

    Amazing goal! Hoping for lots more games like this one, after the Brasil and Mexico snooze-fests...

    OK, I think I've got a Mini-BIF for you all: The Red Card Mini-BIF.
    Starting with tomorrows games, pick the person you think will get the first red card.
    Winner will get a box of Michigan beer.
    Picks must be in before Noon tomorrow.
    If nobody picks the guy who gets the first red card, we will keep going until somebody wins.

    I like this a lot. what are some other mini-BIFs we can throw out there? I want to run one. A hat-trick BIF? Golden Boot (I think that ship has sailed)? 1st keeper to save a penalty? What color mowhawk will Balotelli rock?
