Pop World Cup Draw Reminder

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

It's TONIGHT!

It's at 7.30! Though we will be there earlier.

It's at The Shaston Arms in Soho

Participants and spectators welcome (this is not a large pub though so you might well be standing up). Come along and find out who gets to manage Togo!

Full draw to appear on Poptimists tomorrow.

In other admin news I've been steadily adding interests to our interests list on the info page: new interests always welcome. And we almost have our 50th full member, hello everyone I don't know.

Comin' up today: Wizzo, MP3s, nonsense. DONT TOUCH THAT DIAL.

I am now not allowed out! Bah and poo.

It's not a large pub - BUT IT DOES HAVE BADGER, that should read.

Do you have ready three football shaped POTS labelled 'E', 'H' and 'B' to extract bits of paper with the country names on them that Sepp can unfurl and brandish to the spectators and such?

I think these details are important.

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Well they're envelopes. But yeah.

Could draw the easy and hard teams for people who requested such, then bung the rest together for everyone else? I expect you'll cope with this, anyway, what with no requirement to keep everyone with UCL connections from being in the same group or any such nonsense.

I'll be there, and quite early as usual.

The methodology will be:

1. Draw country out. See if it is easy or hard (these will be on different coloured paper).

2. Draw from 'E' or 'H' envelope depending.

3. Replace and redraw if the country is group A and the manager can't do group A.

4. Repeat.

5. If 'E' or 'H' envelope is empty then draw from the 'B' envelope.

is there a 'Special' pot?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Who are you calling special?

This could go a bit off the rails if you run out of managers who can do group A teams before you run out of said teams. But the odds are probably quite low of that.

How does one achieve full membership? I kinda like pop, I'm going to a Kelly Clarkson concert at least. But, oh this seems like some sort of passive aggressive way of getting added. Please don't take it that way, but it is sort of that way, but meant in a more good natured way. I was just curious to see what lies beneath. Is there a quest I can complete?

I hope I get Germany in this World Cup. Sorry won't be there for the draw, I am not free for another month or so. No, I'm not in prison.

jel you have been blessed with Trinidad & Tobago - although if you're not free for a month that could well be a problem.

Sorry I didn't make this - have been on stupid stupid antibiotics which sap my energy levels to ZERO. I look forward to the results...
