Welcome to our unique HWCI MLS is Back
2020 Tournament Pool. The form fields below are self-explanatory. Be
creative with your nickname (but not with your email address, i.e. use your
real one). Scott's email updates are the most convenient way to stay abreast
of the pool goings-on. If nobody deserves credit for referring you to this
pool (or if you just want to spite the person who is deserving), just
type "nobody" in the "Referred By:" field or put down how you heard about
our pool. If you are updating or entering more than once, be sure to pick a
different nickname (e.g., "MyEntry-Update" or "MyEntry2"). If you are
updating your entry, and would like your first attempt deleted, send a
notice to worldcup(at)hwci.com declaring your intentions.
Note
that the top 3 teams from Group A, 2 teams
from Groups B/C/D/E/F and the next
3 best teams (either 4th Group A or 3rd Groups B/C/D/E/F)
qualify for the Round of 16 (When you choose your next 3 best teams (e.g.,
A/B/C), there is only one combination where all 3 teams will fit into each
4th/3rd place slot).
DEADLINE TO ENTER: 5 pm PDT, Wednesday, July 8th
