Rugby is sadly a much underrated game around the world. So I imagine most of you will be unaware that the rugby world cup begins next friday. While I doubt that many of you will be interested in watching the games, I feel that such a big sporting event could not go missed by the BRM community. So I would like to propose the BRM RWC sweepstakes.
If you would like to participate simply post your BRM username below. There are twenty teams so the first 20 members can play the sweepstake. I will assign each member a team based on the order you join in using a pre-assigned order. You may post your preferred team if you wish but the above system makes it fair. The winner is the person who gets the winning team. A prize may be added at a later date. If admin allows it.
I'd like to play too but obviously I can't pick my own team so please could someone post my name whenever they feel like so everyone knows i'm not cheating. The competition is open to everyone and not just rugby fans so I hope you'll participate.

I have no clue about rugby so count me out, but someone has to post your name, so I wonder if it's a good team you've pre-assigned to spot #1, cause that's the one you're gonna get
Team #1 goes to: awood88
As for prize, I suppose we could transfer the Mob Points from your account to the winning account, if that's what you mean? I can't make any promises whether or not it's something we wish to take part in (with Mob Points), so for now it's all you.

Portugal has a big tradition, althought its not one of the most important sports around here. But Coimbra, my city, has a nice team and some who plays here are part of the national team, which once got the way to participate in the world cup. Things didnt went well, but it was the first time we did it, so we have to give value to their participation. In Portugal, rugby national team is known as "The Wolves" and people tend to respect their dedication to the sport. But its nothing compared with New Zeland or Tonga!

Well, team 1 certainly isn't the best team but there are a lot of teams with less chance. Thanks admin.
I will reveal who has got which team and my contribution towards the prize pool in mob points when all the teams have been chosen. Still plenty for grabs guys so what are you waiting for?
@ Magatt you have team #6 since parrix and fakiry haven't yet opted in.
@ parrix you may as well join in as it's free and thanks to b1gfoot there are already points on offer.
@ Fakiry it's a shame that your national team didn't qualify this year but you still qualify for BRM's first RWC sweepstakes. Just indicate you want to participate by posting your username.
