Saw a while back a post about the world cup sweepstake let me know if you are in each time your team wins you get to pick a messy forfeit for the looser of that game. put your name below if your interested and ill allocate teams once draw is done
Go on then I will get in on this! Just need to make sure that it's well planned, otherwise it might get a bit confusing.
It might be worth making a system of pre determined forfeits? -lose one Match, pie to the face, then an increasing system of worse forfeits the worse the team does. Then things for specifics like, get a red card, get naked for instance??
So so far we have 1. Doc dangerous 2. Edward 3. Cuddles 4. Jammez 5. Mr messy 6. Nova gunger 7. Epps992001 8. Chris 9. Wamsub 10. Stomper13 11. Must be tights 12. What the Gunge 13. Crygoe 14. Tickle My Hunny 15. r1card0 16. Tattoomessyfun
Jeopardy's post has inspired me to suggest ideas for some rules.
As already suggested / agreed for every match your team wins you can set a forfeit for the losing persons team.
Looking at the last time something similar was attempted for the World Cup, the same rule was used. However the winners often failed to set any forfeit so they game did not work as well as expected for all. Therefore I like the idea of setting some additional standard forfeits before we start. I have split these into these categories: a) Potential live in-game forfeits, b) forfeits for losing early group stage matches & c) Main forfeit for when(if) your team is eliminated.
a) Live in-play potential forfeits
Red card - If one your players is sent off pour a bottle/jar of red source over your head. Use whatever pasta, tomato etc. red source is on special offer at your local shop / gives the best deal in terms of amount. 5 Yellow Cards for your team in the same match or one your players earns a suspension for too many yellow cards in the tournament - As above, but pick something yellow. Custard is acceptable.
b) Losing early group matches
First game. Losing the first game is not a disaster, especially as four third placed teams will get to the next round. However a loss will leave you with egg on your face. Forfeit- Crack 6 eggs on your head. Additional for large losses Lose by 2 gaols add a pie, lose by 3 make that a pie sandwich. Lose by more than four make the pies yourself using savoury items such as baked beans, spaghetti or curry.
Second game (only complete if still in tournament, otherwise skip to elimination penalty). While your team is still in the tournament they will be in sticky situation needing to get something out of their last group game. Forfeit Fill your underwear with sticky toffee pudding (or similar). If possible do this when you watch their final group game. Additional for large losses: lose by 2 add custard, lose by 3 also add syrup and by four or more also add flour.
c) Elimination Forfeit
Elimination from the tournament means an early bath for you. The base forfeit is to lay in the bath and poor a bucket of your choice of custard / porridge over yourself and lay there for at least 10 minutes.
The twist is that anyone else whose team is still left in the tournament at the time of your elimination they can pick an extra item of their choice to add to your bucket. The earlier your team is eliminated the more disgusting the bucket is likely to be! The bucket should be an even(ish) mix of everything picked for you. You must wait until when team's next match would have been had they not been eliminated to give people a chance to select what goes in your bucket.
d) What to wear (For those who prefer to get messy clothed) - Based on round of when forfeit is earned.Group games With 16/24 team progressing to the knock-out stage this be a chance form the best teams to relax into the tournament. Dress code:Everyday summer casual clothing. Round 2 With a loss meaning elimination the competition is starting it get serious but the best teams will still expect to progress. Dress code: Office dress down Friday. Quarter finals - Most of the weaker teams have gone home and it the real work of winning the tournament begins. Dress code: Office attire. Semi-finals This is a big evening game with the chance of getting to the final. Dress code: Big night out with mates.The Final The one all players dream of winning. A loss though is devastating. (and will be for you too as your best clothes are potentially at risk!) Dress Code: Formal / Prom. Optional (all rounds) If you team is the designated home team wear male clothing, while if it is away team wear female clothes.
More than happy to hear any other ideas. Part of the fun of this is hearing other suggestions. What would be a suitable reward for the winner?

These are some amazing ideas! It's certainly going to be an interesting one, however if I could throw into the ring for a second and just write up the ideas in a single rule list just so everyone knows what's up!
-Throughout the tournament, the winning team picks a forfeit for the losing team as well as what to wear (I think clothing based on position could get confusing). If someone wants to do their forfeits in one go, pick on outfit (but make sure it is bad haha) - specific rules for fixtures are as follows: - if given a red card, pour a full bottle of a red substance over your head, same for a yellow card (the more yellow cards, the more substances) -if you lose your first game, add egg smashing to the forfeit -the more goals you lose by, the more pies added to a forfeit (e.g 2 goals, 1 pie, 3 goals is a pie sandwich, 4 add a savoury substance) -those who are eliminated from the competition in the early stages must take a messy bucket with a mixture of suggestions from their other competitors. The person at the bottom of the group must also take a more disgusting bucket wearing something even more humiliating and revealing, as well as adding a substance of their own teams colour (for example if the teams colour is green, add mushy peas).
I'm not sure what to add in the knockout stages besides the losing forfeits, but communication with your group is essential. Hope this helps!
I wonder if this might be just a little too complex.. I prefer the simpler idea of if your team loses you have to gunge yourself in whatever the winning teams "rep" requests. They can also recommend the clothing but some people might not have that kind to mess up so I'd call that optional!
The ideas are great and add an extra dimension, but in my experience soaking scotsman may be the voice of reason. I think people will have difficulty interpreting eaxcatly what their forfeit requires and do nothing.
If there was a super official who interprets for averyone and says exactly what they need to do, it might work.
Otherwise probably best to keep it simple.
Do losers have to evidence forfeit or are we working on trust?
Great ideas I don't want this getting completed as it may stop people doing the forfeits. Clothing wise let people.do.what they are comfortable in. I.reckon that winner gets to pick an item for looser to pour on head and for each goal you lose by is 1 pie to face.
Winners should suggest clothing to.wear but it is optional on clothing
