RATING CATEGORIES.

Venues will be given a score under each of the following categories.  These scores will then be scientifically combined, or 'added-up', to produce the patented and unique WCEF Rating.

1. NUMBER OF SCREENS - Self-explanatory: How many screens are available for your viewing pleasure.

2. VISIBILITY OF SCREENS - The team will assess sight-lines, size of screens and general lay-out and rate the venue accordingly.

3. SELECTION OF BEVERAGES - Is the venue likely to be able to supply your favourite tipple?

4. PRICE OF DRINKS - Would it be cheaper to fly Club Class to Jo'burg and buy a pint while watching the game live or is it cheap enough that even 'Dodge' is tempted to open his wallet?

5. SPEED OF SERVICE - Are the bar staff more 'Jan Molby' than 'Theo Walcott'?

6. FOOD - Not essential but a plastic basket of barely cooked oven chips can fill a void sometimes. Bonus points on offer here.

7. SEATING COMFORT - A certain establishment has cracking screens but stools that will make you numb from the waist down by half time which adversely affects your appreciation of the match.  An important category.

8. GENERAL AMBIENCE/DECOR - Subjective but self-explanatory.

9. CLIENTELE - Chavs or chums?

10. NUMBER OF URINALS - Are you going to miss the first minutes of the second half because you've had to queue to alleviate the eternal struggle between bladder capacity and comfort? An oft-underestimated category.

11. URINAL CONVENIENCE - There may be twenty individual, spotless, hand-crafted, porcelain temples of relief but if you've got to walk half a mile through twisting corridors and a multitude of doors it's just not worth the effort.

and lastly, but by no means least, and don't go getting 'right on' girls,

12. T.Q. OF STAFF - When North Korea are already five down against Italy with only 15 minutes gone you're going to need something to look at.  Don't worry girls, will give them a bonus point for 'personality' OK?!

The various results will be reviewed and combined in a very sophisticated and complicated manner to produce a final World Cup Entertainment Factor (WCEF) Rating.

Look out for the latest results coming soon.
