World Cup Team Trading Exchange

Scholesy · 06-01-2006, 12:41 AM

So I found this fun world cup trading exchange on the BBC site, really fun! You basically get 10,000 GBP to spend on buying shares in teams and then you trade them according to certain criteria like how much press they get through the week and other factors and then you can buy or sell accordingly.

It's great fun!

I set up a league called RSL World Cup Fans if anyone wants to join it, it's free and here's the link ...

I think you just go in to the join a league tab on the left and then add yourself to the RSL World Cup Fans group, I'll have a look ...

Yes, I think Scholsey needs to invite each of us, or else we'll all have our own RSL World Cup Fans league.

EDIT: I Tried again and it seems that the owner needs the ID numbers for each member. Only the owner can add players to a league. Of course, as badly as my shares are tanking, but might be less embarrassing if I don't join a team.

Ok, so I guess that's it, I need your ID numbers which apparently are somewhere next to your name .... and then I can add you to the league .... I'll try a little more today to focus on working it out.

You think your shares are tanking, I think I owe the BBC money ... although right now I am number one in my league of ... one.

OK ... Here it is ...

To make a player into a member of this league, you need to enter their World Cup Daq User ID Number (this number is displayed on the main World Cup Daq chart next to their screen name, and also on each player’s portfolio page). I guess you can email them and they'll respond within an hour or so with your number if you can't find it. Then you email me your ID and I'll add you in if you can't add in yourself ...
