World Cup Football Game House Rules for replaying Germany 2006
==============================================================

 * Use the World Cup side of the board, but since an 8 group
   format is in use print out the replacement group sheets and
   attach them to the board with blue tack.  Similarly you need
   to replace the group matches as well.

 * Modify the teams to have points below to represent FIFA
   rankings prior to the tournament.

   This is best done by applying removable stickers to the
   numbers on the stand up pieces, and create stands for teams
   not provided by selecting ones with the correct values who
   are not involved, and use a removable sticker to change the
   country name. You will also find there aren't enough stands.
   I used old metal miniatures stands for the extra teams.

 * When playing cards each player plays one card in the groups
   and one on another match. Cards are always placed face
   up in the groups. The first card played for each side in
   subsequent rounds is placed face up, but the 2nd and 3rd are
   both placed face down.  There is no need to wait until all of
   the quarter finals matches have been filled before playing 
   on the semi finals or even the final.

 * As soon as a group has had all 12 cards played on it the
   group is resolved, and first and second places are moved up
   to their positions in the quarter finals.  This just makes it
   easier to see what is going on.

 * Players choose the following number of teams each to support
   (with points earned by each team being divided amongst the
   supporting players - no rounding, keep the fractionS!).  Make
   note of the teams selected secretly on paper at the start of
   the game - feel free to look at your piece of paper if you
   forget who you chose!
