    Default 2014 World Cup Bracket Predictions

    It's been four years since Secura shamed us all, now is our chance for redemption! Guess the World Cup bracket results, and win the respect of fellow Orgahs and the admiration of women across the globe!

    Rules:
    Entries must be either posted in this thread or PM'ed to me (if you don't want to tip others with your picks) before the start of group play on June 12th, 1600 ET. No edits should be made to these entries after the start of play, smack talking and discussion should be made in separate posts.
    PM'ed entries with be made public once play starts.
    I will try to post results and updated brackets/tiebreaker stats/point standings at the end of each round.
    The person with the most points wins. In the case of a tie, the tiebreaker entries will be used in ascending order to determine the winner.

    Scoring:
    • Group Stage - 1 point (team advances out of group)
    • Group Stage Bonus - 1 point if team placement, 1st or 2nd in group, is correct
    • Round of 16 - 2 points per team advancing
    • Round of 16 Bonus - 2 points per pick if team is on the correct side of bracket
    • Quarterfinals - 4 points per team advancing
    • Quarterfinals Bonus - 4 points per pick if team is on the correct side of bracket
    • Semifinals - 8 points per team advancing
    • Semifinals Bonus - 8 points per pick if team is on the correct side of bracket
    • Finals - 32 points for correct winner pick, 16 points for correct 3rd Place team

    So to get the bonus points in all stages, you will need to correctly determine the group winners and runner-ups.

    For reference, here are the groups:
    1. Brazil , Cameroon , Croatia , Mexico
    2. Australia , Chile , Netherlands , Spain
    3. Colombia , Greece , Ivory Coast , Japan
    4. Costa Rica , England , Italy , Uruguay
    5. Ecuador , France , Honduras , Switzerland
    6. Argentina , Bosnia-Herzegovinia , Iran , Nigeria
    7. Germany , Ghana , Portugal USA
    8. Algeria , Belgium , Russia , South Korea


    Cut the table section and tiebreakers for your entries here (You can "reply with quote" this post to get the table coding). Replace the group placements in the table(1A, 2B, etc) with your group winners and runners-up, and then the rest of the bracket (R16, QF, SF, Winner/3rd) from there.
