2014 World Cup Mock Draft Suggested League Guidelines and Draft Board

Such a league is ideally structured with four owners, each picking eight teams in a standard serpentine draft.  By the end, every owner must have one team from each of one of the eight groups.  Scoring is as follows:

^ ½ point per first-round tie

^ 1 point per first-round win

^ 4 points for advancing into the second round

^ 6 points for advancing into the quarterfinals

^ 8 points for advancing into the semifinals

^ 10 points for advancing into the finals

^ 12 points for winning the World Cup

Here is our draft board, which contains with it the designation of an “experts’ draft board,” a compilation of the ratings of other top media sources:
