Right it is now gone midnight Wednesday, the Sweepstake cut off time.  So ahead of the draw from 10 am I have no changes in entries or preferences.

The entrants ordered by the relevant seconds time of last post before cut off is:

         Day   hr.mins   seconds   
   Miss D:      11-Jun   21.54   2   
   Baldy:      11-Jun   23.49   13   
   Steve:      11-Jun   23.48   14   
   Apey:      11-Jun   23.56   26   
   Barman:      11-Jun   20.48   31   
   Uncle:      11-Jun   22.36   33   
   Miss T:      11-Jun   20.00   49   
   Boogs:      10-Jun   22.01   50   
   ?:               
                     

However it is the magic coin toss at 10am that will decide if the lowest seconds = first (if heads) or last (if tails) dibs for choosing in the first randomometer round.  (order reverses each round)

The updated William Hill list as of cut off time is:

3/1 Brazil
4/1 Argentina
6/1 Germany
13/2 Spain
20/1 Belgium
25/1 Colombia,
25/1 England
25/1 France
25/1 Italy
25/1 Uruguay
28/1 Portugal
33/1 Holland
40/1 Chile
100/1 Russia
125/1 Ivory Coast
125/1 Japan
125/1 Switzerland
150/1 Bosnia
150/1 Mexico
200/1 Croatia
200/1 Ecuador
250/1 Ghana
250/1 Greece
250/1 Nigeria
250/1 South Korea
250/1 USA
750/1 Australia
750/1 Cameroon
2000/1 Algeria
2500/1 Costa Rica

Probably not but you stand a better chance than you might have had

Less than 2 hours before almost eager anticipation turns to disappointments and mutterings

Live Sweepstake Draw here from 10am BST!

I spose now would be a very good time for me to look at the roolz . . .


 . . . .Your selected team will be determined by

1.  Your stated preference (order) as posted or PMd by midnight Wednesday
2.  The most likely winners as per latest William Hill odds
3.  Unique preference (ie a team only you have selected)
4.  Random selection using the last two digits of the time of your last post before midnight Wednesday and with
     - lower = higher priority if the magic coin toss is heads, lower priority if tails
     - priorities reversed when second selections considered, reversed again on thirds etc
5.  During the World cup itself by the best available team (according to William Hill) as and when your team is knocked out
 . .
And only one person will get Brazil

Ah stuff it, will be simpler for me to fiddle it  ;)
Well, whatever, nevermind
