The organizers are very thoughtful and have opened a special column in the "Daily Quidditch" newspaper to answer all kinds of strange questions from all over the world.
This column is also used to publish various rules announced by the organizers of the World Cup, which indeed impose restrictions on "pets".
"Not obviously aggressive, non-toxic, and the size does not exceed the prescribed limit." Fred read out the restrictions on animals. "Congratulations, Lovell, you completely meet the requirements. You don't need to buy one."
You can also watch the World Cup with your tickets.”
The envious look in Fred's eyes almost turned into reality: You can watch the game without tickets!
If it weren't for Animagus transformation being too difficult to learn, and he couldn't control the animal he transformed into, Fred might have had to learn Animagus ways to evade.
Lovell smiled and did not go any further on this topic. Although he did not need to buy a ticket, he still needed to get one because he wanted to watch the Quidditch World Cup with Hermione.
Next, several people naturally turned their attention to how to obtain free tickets.
"The newspaper said that if you tear off this piece, fill in your information and send it back, you have a chance of winning." George saw the activity held by "Daily Quidditch".
They only need to fill out a questionnaire on the last page of the newspaper and send it back, and they may get World Cup tickets provided by the editorial department.
Although the probability of winning the lottery is extremely low, it is still a hope after all. Fred and George are still ready to try. But one thing is very tricky, that is, this newspaper was actually brought back by Angelina. If it is really filled out, it should be filled out.
Angelina's message.
"Hey, this is nothing." Angelina noticed the concerns of the two people. The cheerful girl waved her hand and generously handed the newspaper to Fred and George, "I didn't expect to pass this lottery.
When it comes to tickets, I haven't had much luck."
Of course, this doesn't mean that Angelina doesn't want to "get a ticket for free".
"We can guess the outcome. The newspaper said that if you correctly guess the outcome of seven consecutive games before the final, you will get a ticket. This is much more reliable than the illusory lottery."
This kind of event where you bet on the outcome and win tickets is also an event jointly organized by the World Cup organizers and the newspaper editorial department. The rules of the event are very simple: you guess the outcome of the two teams, and if you guess correctly seven times, you will get a ticket for the World Cup final.
, the number of wrong guesses will be reset to zero.
There are a total of sixteen teams participating in the finals. If you are lucky enough, you may have accumulated seven wins in the round of sixteen to eight. Of course, in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the loopholes, one identity can only be one.
Choice. For example, if you bet on team A to win for two teams a, you cannot bet on team b to win at the same time.
Except for Lovell, everyone present had a deep understanding of Quidditch, so they quickly made their bets.
The first one or two wins are very easy to win. After all, the first one in the qualifiers points will get the lowest points in the budget competition. This situation will hardly cause problems. The same goes for the second one in the second place, but the next victory or defeat will be the same.
It's not that stable, because the strength gap between different groups is also different.
Since there is no strength rating for participating countries like the non-magical world, the magic world's group groups are randomly assigned, which results in some groups being the "death group", and some groups being bribed by the organizer just by looking at them.
Fang’s feeling is that the persuasiveness of being ranked number one in the group won’t be that strong.
"I think the American team should be able to win, after all, they are the defending champions."
"How many times have the defending champions gone home early? And you are actually optimistic about Argentina? The last time they reached the final was in the early 20th century, earlier than the last time the UK hosted the Quidditch World Cup!"
"Isn't anyone optimistic about the Scottish team..."
A very lively discussion broke out in the corner of the Gryffindor common room. Fred, George and Angelina all knew Quidditch very well, so it was extremely difficult for them to convince each other.
After a period of quarreling, they selected their favorite five teams. After rational calculation, they felt that these five teams had the highest chance of winning and were the most stable. They knew very well that if they were to win in one round,
If there is a mistake, there is no chance to save it - 8 goes into 4, 4 goes into 2, and there are only six games in total. Once you guess wrong in one round, there is no need to guess again. If you guess all correctly, you will only win six games.
Lovell had long been tired of listening to them. At first, it could copy Fred's answers, but later on, the three people's quarrel made it big-headed, so it simply started picking teams that it liked.
Finally, Fred glanced at the list that Lovell had drawn out with his claws and was startled: "Lovell, are you sure you want to select seven teams in one round?"
Lovell nodded: "I think it's okay. Look, these five teams are exactly the same as what you analyzed!"
"But you are actually optimistic about the Canadian team. This is..." Fred looked at the two additional teams on the list and frowned, "Their previous performance was mediocre. On what basis did you select them?"
"Because it's pleasing to the eye," Lovell said confidently.
Fred was speechless for a while, but just as he was about to hand over the list, he suddenly remembered Lovell's outrageous performance in Hogsmeade Village.
This is a very lucky little wolf cub!
He struggled and finally added two teams to his list.
George:?!
"It's just a gamble." Fred laughed, "If it succeeds, then there is no need to guess again."
George was also a little moved, but considering that he shouldn't put his eggs in one basket, he still retained his original choice. After all, this was the result of their serious discussion.
"What are you doing? Are you all gathered here? Don't you have any classes in the morning?" A somewhat rough voice rang. Lovell raised his head and saw a short but sturdy red-haired young man facing him.
Come.
This young man has a broad face like a good gentleman, and his face is covered with dense freckles, which looks almost brown-black. His eyes are sparkling and very energetic.
Fred raised the sheet in his hand towards him and said loudly: "Charlie, we are predicting the outcome of the teams in the World Cup finals!"
