⚽⭐⚽ Rainbet’s BTT World Cup 2026 – Road to Glory ⚽⭐⚽

[cryptofrka]

Hey guys,

we are just in discussions to form a German team and I think we will get one formed.

So far, how many teams are there? And as is said in OP, one participant has to submit 5 BSFL style questions per week, right? I think that is easily doable. And the goalscorer picks are made based on all teams that are still in the tournament? So during group stages, goalscorer are picket from 48 teams?

We have 7 registered teams, 5 paid the fee already. There are at least 5 more being prepared/discussed as we speak. That info is in the 3rd post of the thread.
Initial plan is 16 teams, in case of huge interest we can probably create a hybrid format with 24. Nothing in between will be considered, so either 16 or 24.

There are 3 'mini games' per round. 1 member of the team submits 5 answers, the other goalscorers, the 3rd one betslip.
Everything follows WC schedule so yes - it will be per round. Goalscorer picks will be modified slightly for later rounds.

I see the first post was updated quite a while ago, so I'd like to check if anyone else is looking for a player (I'm referring to myself).
My preference: it's preferable to know the people I'll be teaming with (pool members, I think I know all of them). Preferred communication: Forum/Telegram. I can participate in any of the three disciplines (I need to check the Rainbet deposit, but it seems there will be no problems with this). As for the team name/region, I have no preference, I’m even ready to play for the Himalayan elephants

But one moment the part with "1st & 2nd Place - Directly to Quarterfinals
3rd Place Teams play against each other in the Round of 32. Winners go directly to quarterfinals, losers play in the Round of 16." confuses me very much.
How many teams do we have then in our own World Cup when we reach the real life quarterfinals?

I was also wondering how this works out but I thought to wait a little while to see how many teams actually show up.

"1st and 2nd place going directly to QFs" suggests there are only 2 groups (as this will fill our 4 of the 8 QF spots).

But if we're confirmed to be playing the format of 16 teams divided into 4 groups of 4 teams (as in OP) then we'll already have 8 teams in the QF (two each, 1st and 2nd, from the 4 groups).

Just write a broad region where you live or where you were born. The idea is to connect members in that way initially.

I'll tag once again - maybe some members will decide to connect. This is the info we have so far:

Potential teams:

Slissy, Hhampuz, LTU_btc - Nordics
ovcijisir, katanic97, joca97 - Balkans
Igebotz, Harkorede, Zaguru12? - Nigeria

Open applications:

Heyshbosh - England/UK
Nheer - Africa
vd309 - Balkans
Ochan_yazo_tochant - North Africa
ajanwalker - Turkey - european part
Upgrade00 - Africa
Strongkored - Indonesia
KTChampions - region undefined
mv1986 - creating Germany team

I was also wondering how this works out but I thought to wait a little while to see how many teams actually show up.

The most honest answer is that we do not know yet
It will depend on the number of teams applied.

What we do know is that we'll do all we can that all (or a huge part of the) teams proceed from the group stage with different seeding, and that the top ones will miss a round or 2 to accomodate this, and to give them an edge.

I don't quite understand the mechanism. I'm from Russia. But let's say I'm supposedly from Norway (as it appears in all pools where this option is offered). Surely I won't have to go through the KYC to prove it to participate? So, to some extent, is this a free choice?
What do potential teams mean on this list? If they're already full, then why are they only potential? I'd like to join the Nordics
By the way, is the solo participation option closed? It's not that I want to pay triple the entry fee, I'm just curious for now.

The idea is that you make some friends/acquaintances while playing. We hope to group people from the same area, to geographically represent different parts of the world.
So, if you're from Russia you can play as Russia, Ural, Caspian region, whatever - with people that live close to you.

You can join Nordics as well, would just look silly if you join Brazil or South Africa - that's what we hope to avoid.

No KYC of course, this is for fun and banter. You can also lie where you're from, but the general idea is that you discuss with people that are in your timezones and have similar preferences.

'Potential teams' are those that aren't confirmed yet - so consdering that Nordics team isn't assembled yet you can ask Slissy/Hhampuz in what status that team is and if you can join.
Solo participation is not possible - the whole idea is that you play as a team but that you depend on other people's answers as well. You can freely discuss your options as a team on forum/Telegram/whatever.

It seems like we are gonna have some teams made by a mixture of regions or like in the olympics game where the sportsman who doesnt want to have the flag of their nations or the nation is banned the olympic comitee gives them a group or name them olimpics team.

Is like  PES United or a WE united.

It seems like the mafia is starting to draw the teams they want...... suspicious.

Aside of jokes come on guys, join us and make your teams.

I applied the rules to 4 groups and 16 teams and that was the reason why I thought the 1st and 2nd placed teams who lose their initial match would get a 2nd chance.
But yes, my weird assumption didn't make much sense either.
All I know is that we would have ended up with 12 teams in the quarterfinals if we went with 4 groups.
This would have been a deal breaker if 6 teams advanced to the semifinals.
