    It seems like my feeler for a World Cup BIF was a success. So here are the details:

    The league is set up on ESPN, the group is called World Cup BIF and the password is the same (no spaces in the password):
    http://games.espn.go.com/world-cup-bracket-predictor/2014/en/group?groupID=11622

    The stakes: minimum of 44 ounces of 90+ rated beer here on BA. If you send your target wants, then the rating limit is suspended. (For example, if your target is a sadist and wants a Bruery Cocaonut, you do not need to worry about those ~25 ounces of hell being rated below a 90, you should, however, worry about the sanity of your target.)

    Please call your entry the same as BA username so I can keep everything straight. Once you sign up, shoot me your shipping info and preferred styles so I can send targets immediately after the last game.

    I've tagged everyone who has shown interest already:

    Let me know if you have any questions, concerns or to tell me I screwed something up.

    Just realized I didn't explain payout situation. It will depend on # of entries. Close to 30 people have shown interest and 8 have already joined, so I plan on doing payouts to the top 10%. If 30 people join, the top 3 would be winners. The breakdown would be something along the lines of 1st: 16; 2nd: 8; 3rd: 3.

    I'm in.

    Anyone down to throw in a consolation box or two? Say 1 box to whoever correctly picks the lowest rank advancing team to the second round? If you pick Ghana to advance with a 24 rank, and they are lowest team to advance, you get 1 box? Always fun to throw in a random box or two like in the Royal Rumble BIF.

    Should you not finish in the top ten percent, you will be given the name and address of one of the I winners, that person is your target.

    All, I'm on the road for work the rest of this week, I will try to keep up with all my BMs, but never fear if I don't get back to you, you are included and I will reply by Monday at the latest. Everyone should/will get a reply from me if you send me a message. It just might be delayed this week.
