You remember the old days? 2006 ... APEX aka HTMLDB was still the new kid on the block!
To promote APEX at that time I build an Oracle APEX app that allowed you to see the scores of the World Cup 2006. After some feedback I created a betting piece to it... it gained much traction, it even got translated in Chinese! Here's a picture of that time:
Since then every year with the World Cup and Euro Cup I enable the app again. This year is not different... well it is; the app got an overhaul with some great new functionalities. I'll go deeper in some features in another blog post; but the main features are: authentication via Facebook (thanks to Peter) and you are able to create your own groups of people. So APEX R&D can see for example how it plays against our Canadian friends at Clarifit or our US friends at Enkitec :)
You find the new app at https://wc2014challenge.com
Let us know if you like it (or not) :)

Thanks for letting us know. We'll investigate asap
@Benjamin; It looks like this bug appears when the internet connection is slow and you hit the Request to join twice. Is that possible?
Hi Dimitri,
i just tested again, Yes that is absolutely the root cause.
Thanks
Benjamin
