@jetont Your idea is good but sadly it is hard to adjust the criteria to choose who will be able to play. Medals are now for ranking but we all know that If you call up top 200 managers in ranking, that 90% of them will not want to risk their precious medals

JetonT.

@majstor-matt true. This new ranking with medals must not be criteria to be part of the tournament. Maybe something that has to do with crew official battles should be the criteria, I don't know, maybe someone has better idea.

@jetont Hard to do anything crew related, as crews are a group, it does not have any relation to individual manager effort - its a team effort. Also, they are mostly closed group so not everyone have access to top crews.

Maybe you can try to make a prediction game?

Making a file on google with some different topics and titles.

For example:

Will go to the next round in Group A
Will go to the next round in Group B
...
Who will be the topscorer
Who will have the most assist
Country that will surprise (positive and negative)

For some "top games", you can also add that people can predict the score.

@wooper_nl This could work, but idea is to create some activity on OSM forum, so have a google doc with predictions is a . Of course that organizers can have it to keep track of everything... but if we go ahead with it, we should try to do as much as possible on forums.

Are there any volunteers to organize it? We can start coordinating/discussing how to do it an what kind of prizes can be given (OSM related prizes only)

@specialone For example boss coins

@specialone I was thinking to involve all communities and create a sort of battle between the communities.

In every community, we have enough staff and moderators to make a topic about the world cup.

I Know, working with a google file will not bring that much activity, but for the preparations in the different communities, it could be useful. We can make a file and everybody in each community is free to fill it in. The games/topscorer,... with the most votes will be the results that every community will have.

All the results from each community, we can post it in a main topic where people can see what every community thinks about some games/topscorers. There, people can discuss or give their opinion.

Every community can win points choosing the correct country that will go to the next round, topscorer, best keeper, most yellow and red cards,...

For the prizes, you can give it to the winning community where they can draw the winners.

@specialone How long is the Rival Knockout promotion available?

I have joined a new league on Slot 1 yesterday evening, so I probably be able to participate (and I don't want to resign because I already invested in this team Man Utd). Next time please post about events that need a free acount much earlies, to avoid that many managers have already running leagues on all their slots.

@fear-force YESS!

@wooper_nl and @specialone

I have a suggestion.

So taking advantage of what Wooper said was to make a Predict.

How would it work in order to have activity in the topic:

So there would be a reward being a medal in the profile according to the number of hits about which national team passes in X phase, being that there would be 3 levels of bronze, silver and gold and after this first phase it would be a tournament between the people who had best predict.

Being the 1st phase the 16 national teams that pass in the group phase + the 2nd phase that would be the elimination phase, where each one predicted from the round of 16 to the final and who would take the title of champion (15). Thus giving a total of 31 Predicts.

1st phase

2nd phase

Medals would be based on the number of hits:

Bronze – 8 Predicts
Silver - 14 Predicts
Gold – 20 Predicts

Then the 2nd part of the Predicts would be a tournament with the (X) people who had the most hits in the 1st part of the Predicts where the final champion would take a prize in BC.

During this 2nd Part the Predicts continued to be that this time, instead of being the national teams, it would be the players who would be in this tournament.
