Denmark won Alternative World Cup

Friday, July 9th, 2010

Denmark barely made it to the second stage, the elimination tournament, but beat Argentina 3-2 to become the Champion!

England  beat Portugal 4-2 to capture bronze (it was 2-2 after 90 minutes).

Here is the function that determined how many goals a team scored in a game.

Function goals()

Select Case Rnd()

Case Is < 0.3

goals = 0

Case Is < 0.5

goals = 1

Case Is < 0.8

goals = 2

Case Is < 0.9

goals = 3

Case Else

goals = 4

End Select

End Function

Round 3 – Alternative World Cup

Friday, July 9th, 2010

The first three rounds are done.  Slovenia was the only team who managed three wins. Switzerland beat USA and eliminated them from the tournament.

I have changed the initial rules a bit. A fourth round will not be played. The best 16 teams will now play an elimination tournament. In the eighth finals team 1 meets team 16, Slovenia vs England, teams 2 vs team 15, and so on.
