Hi Ladies and gents, GGMI here, I will be your host for this evening's live world cup sweepstake draw at 8pm. I will be joined by my host gregsy and hostess Hugo the Elder . All the members have been allocated a number and all the teams have been allocated a number via a random generator this morning. A rundown for all unsure of this evening's draw process: - Hugo the Elder will be drawing the member's number
- I will then allocate the member given that number
- gregsy will be drawing the team's number
- I will then allocate the team given that number
If anybody has any queries or doubts then feel free to enter them below.
If anybody has missed out this time and would be interested in a 2nd draw then please register your interest either on here or in a message to me.
I will post the complete list of numbers for both members and teams after, just to avoid anybody complaining/issues. |

Best of luck with the draw guys, lets hope there isn't any Carabao cup draw style fiascoes

Good stuff. Looking forward to it. Does sound a little complicated though. Are you going to post the pre allocated teams and forum numbers pre draw so we know what is what? A bit of transparency will stop the inevitable Ggmi stitch up conspiracy when he draws himself Germany!

I really hope I get Italy or Holland.
Got a good feeling about both of these.

Good stuff!
I got Croatia & Mexico for my work sweepstake. Happy with those as they should both progress for at least a bit of fun to watch

I guess Gas Go Marching In could maybe PM someone else in the draw the list of teams and members. I don't want to see them and nor does Gregs as we are doing the draw blind as that's the only way it works. Personally, I'm happy to trust him. This whole thing really only works on everyone trusting the three of us anyway!! |

This whole thing really only works on everyone trusting the three of us anyway!! Yeah, you need one person who can oversee everything, who doesn't take any part at all. (But of course that person will need to be trusted, too.) Unless everyone just trusts GGMI, of course. I propose a sweepstake where Greg draws a poster for everyone, and GGMI can allocate a number to each name. Then Hugo can draw a number, and provided we have a neutral observer verifying that that number corresponds with GGMI's number, then that poster can be nominated to set up the draw for who gets to be the neutral umpire. |

I don't want to change anything now but happy to send the list to an independent poster prior to the draw. If you are happy to be in the independent poster (not me, Hugo or gregs) at 8 and I feel you can be trusted then please pm me? |

I don’t know any of the 3 involved, but am happy to trust you all. That very nice man I met on the inter web said I was a very trusting lady when I transferred a lot of money to his account so he could come over to England and marry me. Anyway I will be dressing up for the draw, I have a very fetching white dress in the wardrobe I’ve never worn 😂🤞

GGMI - it’s best to do this anyway (PM Bideford). I trust you but if you draw Germany you just know there will be some suspicious minds.... |

Thanks Bideford, I do trust you (but not your player ratings  ), therefore I am going to message you all the numbers. I respect that 32 people have paid good money for a fair draw and I feel it is only right, that we do things as fair and honestly as we can. |

Hugo, I notice you are going to draw the members, are you intending to post your etchings ? The way we have done it in the past is to draw and announce a number at a time. So I will draw say...23 GGMI will then say who that is. Gregs will pull a number, then GGMI will announce the team that person got. And so on. I will be here at 8 all things being equal. I am actually going to use a random sequence generator this time so I will actually have all 32 numbers from the off but will still announce one at a time. I'm using this site. www.random.org/sequences/ |
