ZCode-CASH CHAMPIONSHIP: SOCCER WORLD CUP – BRAZIL 2014 [LIVE!]

Click for Espanol translation here

1) Contest formula
This time we have a classic “old-school” style individual contest: “The King Of World Cup”. During Soccer World Cup, we’ll play in individual formulas, but keep 2 separate leaderboards*:

a) King of World Cup– based on the traditional bankroll builder approach. Every contender receives a $10000 virtual bankroll. 1 unit = $100. The players who build the biggest bankroll after 12 rounds will win. The three top places win cash prizes! Check the prize list below!

b) Soccer Bomber – based only on profits made with picks marked as bombs and nukes. The player who makes the highest profit using their 2- and 3-unit picks will take the prize. This is a new ranking system! See below (Bombs and Nuke) to find out how to use these new picks.

NOTE: Each player can win a maximum of one prize. If the same person ranks in both leaderboards, they’ll receive the larger prize. The next-ranking player on the scoreboard with the smaller prize will receive the prize. This ensures that as many people as possible get to win!

* Every player posts 1 pick per round. This pick is counted for both leaderboards.

2) Bombs and nuke
This is a new feature. Every player has 3 bombs and 1 nuke to use. Using these “weapons” is not mandatory. What does it mean? It’s simple! Picks marked as bombs are counted as 2-unit bets. Picks marked as nukes are counted as 3-unit bets. Be careful! That’s dangerous material, very explosive.

3) General rules
a) Each contender may place a maximum of 12 picks during this contest. Maximum one pick per round. World Cup is a short tournament so the action is fast. Check rounds schedule below for more details.

b) Editing your post is not permitted. If you forgot to list odds or the bookie, just make a new post with the additional info. You must update your pick before game start!

c) Please post European format odds only. It makes counting easier and faster and helps to avoid mistakes. American format odds are no longer accepted.

d) POD Master Michal will give signals on the wall and on the forum before the start of each round.

e) The results will be counted by POD Master Michal. All unforeseen situations are decided by the POD Master. The POD Master is not a player. He is an unbiased supervisor and judge.

4) Posting picks
a) Each contender has a special arsenal: 3 bombs and 1 nuke. A pick marked as a ‘bomb’ means that it’s a 2-unit pick. A pick marked as a ‘nuke’ means that it’s a 3-unit pick. All other picks are 1 unit. It is not mandatory to use bombs or nuke! If you wish to go conservative, you can stick with normal 1-unit PODs.

b) The allowed odds range for picks is set from 1.3 to 5.00. If you take a pick with higher odds it will be counted as a valid pick, but calculated with odds of 5.00 to avoid going over the maximum odds.

c) Allowed pick types* are: 3-way betting (1, X, 2, 1X, X2, 12 etc), asian handicaps, game totals, team totals. In regular time, half time and full time (fulltime refers to OT and PEN in knockout rounds).
* Please ensure that you mark your type of bet carefully. For example, if you bet -1, make sure it’s clearly labelled as an Asian handicap or 3-way handicap. The odds will be very different, and if you don’t mark it clearly it will be counted as 3-way handicap.

d) Every pick must be submitted on the forum before the official game start. You can also deliver picks via email to contest@zcodesystem.com, but the official game start deadline applies to email too.

Example of proper pick (POD)
e) All bets must be laid in the proper format. You must provide: TEAM, PICK, ODDS, BOOKIE and if needed PICK TYPE (2-way or 3-way bet)*.

For example:
Brazil -0.5 @ 1.5 (bet365) or
NUKE Brazil -0.5 @ 1.5 (bet365) or
BOMB Brazil team total OVER 2.5 @ 2.00 (marathonbet)

* Please ensure that you mark your type of bet carefully. For example, if you bet -1, make sure it’s clearly labelled as an Asian handicap or 3-way handicap. The odds will be very different, and if you don’t mark it clearly it will be counted as 3-way handicap.

h) Unclear, incomplete, or late picks will be disqualified. The bet result will not be counted; instead a pass will be recorded. No shortcuts! Clearly mark your selection.

Terms and FAQ:

* Q: Hand signed by Pele? WTF? Is it real??
I did not believe it at first either – but we’re 99% sure that it’s real. It comes from the autograph hunters group’s personal collection of memorabilia. Many players visit popular events and games and give autographs. The professional autograph hunters follow them and get autographs, then sell the autographs with verified papers. This ball comes with official COA papers.
** Cash prizes are paid by Skrill or Paypal within 7 days after the end of the competition.
*** The material prizes (balls, cups etc) are sent within 90 days depending on location.
