Steemit Charity World Cup Contest - Own Your Team (800 SBD for grabs minimum!)

The Different World Cup Contest (Please read)

Hiya guys – I try to recreate a fun game that rewards one of you Steemians as well as to support a charity. Here is how it goes!

This Contest is based on Community Sponsoring and could be highly profitable for the Winner and Charity!

The Football World Cup 2018 will start on June 14, 2018 in Russia and we have 32 teams playing. The background of this bidding soccer game explained in a nutshell below. First of all let me tell you i would like to avoid some things - Charity is overall seen sceptical on social media platforms - on Steemit in particular - I remember I was threatened by whales with Flags for some charity initiatives already - to avoid such a scenario I designed this one where we have no discussion about potential scenarios that only SBD of post payouts will be donated to charity while Steem Power stays in the selfish organiser's wallet. So here are the rules:

• Steemians can bid a certain amount of SBD (via Steembay) to become owner of a certain team (they like or they think that will become champion!)

• For every Team playing the World Cup (32) we will publish a Steembay post during June 13 and June 14 where all Steemians have 7 days time to bid SBD for the dedicated team in one of the 32 posts

• The one with the highest bid after payout is the OWNER of this national team and has to pay the final amount to the account @sportsgeek

• We will set a minimum amount of 25SBD per team, if no one bids for one team the entire competition is in danger should a team become world champion that has not been won by a Steemian (however I guarantee someone will buy – if not you it will be me, sure no one wants that lol)! To avoid that – teams without bid after payout of these posts (7 days so June 20) can still be ”bought” throughout the World Cup until we reach the end of the group phase.

• If the winning team in the end has no owner all 100% of the pot will go to charity

• All 32 final bids will be thrown into a total basket (so we should have ideally a minimum of 800 SBD in the pot - likely higher). All funds will remain in the @sportsgeek account.

• After 4 weeks of the World Cup the Owner of the Top 3 Team will be rewarded with 50% of the total basket of all winning team bids

Prizes

• First Place (World Champion): 30% of the pot (240 SBD if total pot is 800 SBD)

• Second Place: 15% of the pot (120 SBD if total pot is 800 SBD)

• Third Place: 5% of the pot (40 SBD if total pot is 800 SBD)

• The other 50% of the total basket will be paid to Charity!

The charities we support are @papilloncharity from South Africa and @steemarity from Austria. Also the winning Steemians can feel free to donate their amount to a charity – but that is not a requirement.

Let me know your thoughts and if you are in for this idea!

I am driving this by purpose via a different account simply to avoid auto voting - the teams, the game, the fun and the charity are the focus of this approach - I hope you will like and we can proceed tomorrow with a nice push.
