* Denotes the fact that all Two-Legged ties will be based on %.  For example if you win 5-0 you won 100% of the vote.  Then you would only need to get 1 vote to win the whole thing.  I'll explain more if needed.  Thanks and good luck to all.

Explain more. I'm not getting that.

Alright, say you win 6-4 in the first TD you won 60% of the vote. Then if you lose 3-2 you only got 40% of the vote. Then I would average the two percents together and that would give us the winner. If still tied then the group will re-vote on the second leg via poll.

I wish i could get up in this. whats this mystery person that has to win 3 soccer td's in a row?

August 3, 2008  06:31 PM ET

Anyone who can win 3 soccer-related TD's in a row can get in. Act fast if you want in. And if you win the three then tell me so I can put you in.

August 3, 2008  10:58 PM ET

I can not believe i missed out on this. Can I be included and if not possible may I be an alternate?

August 4, 2008  11:14 AM ET

So do I qualify for the last Wild Card spot? I know that my All-Time Barca TD was a bit of a joke but still...

Let me know Keeper

August 10, 2008  06:41 PM ET

OK guys, we need some topics. So, everyone needs to make 4 topics each (no more and no less) and let me know. They will be used for the group stages and on.

For the Prelims, it will be like this: The person on the left will start and pick the topic for the first TD and then in the second TD, the person on the right will start the TD and pick the topic. Good luck. You can get started immediately.
