The BISERGS is Back

The four year wait is finally over and it is time for the BISERGS to begin.  BISERGS stands for the Biggest International Soccer Expert Related to Greg Samuelson and you have found the official website for the sixth edition of this illustrious event.  It is my way to share the fun of the World Cup with my family and anyone connected to my family.  Don't let the name fool you, you don't have to be a soccer expert to play the game, you just have to be somehow connected to a relative of mine within 6 or 7 lines on a family tree and have to have been alive when the last World Cup ended four years ago. If that describes you, just click here to sign up and get ready to choose the teams you think will do the best in the World Cup.

For the BISERGS, the most important dates are the registration deadline on May 31st, the draft order draw on June 2nd, the draft order preference deadline on June 9th and the BISERGS draft (when you find out who your four countries are) on June 10th.  So don't delay, sign up today and spread the word to all of your family and loved ones, so we can make this the biggest BISERGS ever.

Here are some World Cup 2018 facts to get you up to speed.  This year the World Cup will be hosted by Russia and the matches will be played in 12 venues across the country.  The opening match will be played on June 14th and the Final will take place on July 15th.  If you live in America, you may not have felt the World Cup buzz like you did four years ago.  That's because this is the first time since 1986 that the US national team failed to qualify for the tournament.  But don't worry!  That is where the BISERGS comes in.  Every BISERGSer will have four adopted countries to keep their interest throughout the tournament with the BISERGS winner being declared at the same time as the World Cup trophy is lifted by the champions.
