Download the spreadsheet at:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AunrGmeGVqANdGlKMElQNkRHTkZFSU02YS1ySVp4V0E&hl=en

and send me your entry at: futbolmetrix(a)yahoo.com (don't use other
email addresses, please).

As in previous WCs, there will be two concurrent contests. A watered-
down, barely sophisticated version where you only have to predict who
will go home after the first round. And the full sophisticated version
where you have to enter the full matrix of results

Deadline for entries: 15 minutes before kickoff of South Africa -
Mexico.

Enjoy (and let me know if there are any bugs), and let the most
sophisticated man or woman win!

Not a bug as such but when I click on the link I'm told my browser is
too old to work with Google Docs. I've tried attempting to download
the spreadsheet and open it as an Excel file but no joy.

Sorry to ask but is there any chance of the spreadsheet being hosted
as an Excel document? This was the case for the last UCL SPC run by
Jesus Petry and everyone seemed to be able to access it ok?

Obviously I'll understand if thats not possible.

Oops, sorry about that. I'm not sure I know how to host it as a simple
excel document. But there are two solutions:

1) I send it to you by email. Is yours a valid email address?
2) Somebody steps up and hosts it.

Sorry :(

Whaheeeeeyyyyyy! Excel friendly!

Thanks chaps for sorting this out. I'll now get to work on my entry
