The Steemit Charity World Cup Contest - Reminder and Update

I am back for Charity World Cup on Steemit

Friends of Football aka Soccer and Steemians that love bidding games and take pride to own their national teams on a social platform - just returned from London and ready to dive into World Cup now - a little reminder to attend this World Cup Contest.

Most of the Team Posts (all via Steembay) where you have the chance to bid and own your Team for the World Cup have been published on @sportsgeek - the rest will follow today so we are complete by the end of the day. Thanks to all attendees so far who casted their bid for several teams - I hope we will achieve our target of 800 SBD!

See the announcement post here: https://steemit.com/charityworldcup/@uwelang/steemit-charity-world-cup-contest-own-your-team-800-sbd-for-craps-minimum

Rules and Prize money summarised - get involved

Steemians can bid a certain amount of SBD (via Steembay) to become owner of a certain team (they like or they think that will become champion!)
For every Team playing the World Cup (32) we will publish a Steembay post until the end of today where all Steemians have 7 days time to bid SBD for the dedicated team in one of the 32 posts
The one with the highest bid after payout is the OWNER of this national team and has to pay the final amount to the account @sportsgeek
We will set a minimum amount of 25SBD per team, if no one bids for one team the entire competition is in danger should a team become world champion that has not been won by a Steemian (however I guarantee someone will buy – if not you it will be me, sure no one wants that lol)! To avoid that – teams without bid after payout of these posts can still be ”bought” throughout the World Cup until we reach the end of the group phase.
If the winning team in the end has no owner all 100% of the pot will go to charity
All 32 final bids will be thrown into a total basket (so we should have ideally a minimum of 800 SBD in the pot - likely higher). All funds will remain in the @sportsgeek account.
After 4 weeks of the World Cup the Owner of the Top 3 Team will be rewarded with 50% of the total basket of all winning team bids

Prizes

First Place (World Champion): 30% of the pot (240 SBD if total pot is 800 SBD)
Second Place: 15% of the pot (120 SBD if total pot is 800 SBD)
Third Place: 5% of the pot (40 SBD if total pot is 800 SBD)
The other 50% of the total basket will be paid to Charity!

The charities we support are @papilloncharity from South Africa and @steemarity from Austria. Also the winning Steemians can feel free to donate their amount to a charity – but that is not a requirement.
