Deadline for submission: May 20 (this to avoid too many revised
submissions based on tune-ups)

Objective:

Correctly pick the starting 11 of any World Cup squad on the first
matchday.

Rules:

Pick one or two national sides that will be playing in the World Cup.
Up to two entries per participant will be allowed. I suggest choosing
your own country's national side and any other you might be familiar
with. If your national side is not playing, then pick any two you
might be familiar with.

List 11 players that you predict will be starting for the national
side(s) you choose. Carefully consider formation, tactics, precedent
set in qualifying, current form, opponent, and injuries.

Choose 3 additional players as reserves in the event any of the 11 you
choose now become injured. When doing this, you may want to consider
quality players who can play multiple positions, as you obviously are
not going to be able to predict who might go down between now and the
beginning of the competition.
Scoring:

You will be awarded one point per correct starter. Please note that a
start by any of your reserve players will count for a point ONLY if
injury is the reason he is replacing one of your starting 11.

First tiebreaker: The number of original starters who start. In other
words, if we come to a tiebreak situation, a first-11 starter will
trump a reserve starter.

Second tiebreaker: The number of players you choose as starters who
come on as subs instead. If Milivella and I choose 9 starters
correctly, but one of his comes on as a sub and none of mine do, then
Milivella wins.

Third tiebreaker: The number of your reserves chosen who come on a
subs.

Fourth tiebreaker: Goals scored by your starting 11
