The World Cup, featuring $17$ teams from Europe and South America, as well as $15$ other teams that honestly don’t have a chance, is a soccer tournament that is held once every four years. As we speak, Croatia andMorocco are locked in a battle that has no significance whatsoever on the winner, but if you would like live score updates nonetheless, feel free to ask your proctor, who has no obligation whatsoever to provide them. [b]p1.[/b] During the group stage of theWorld Cup, groups of $4$ teams are formed. Every pair of teams in a group play each other once. Each team earns $3$ points for each win and $1$ point for each tie. Find the greatest possible sum of the points of each team in a group. [b]p2.[/b] In the semi-finals of theWorld Cup, the ref is bad and lets $11^2 = 121$ players per team go on the field at once. For a given team, one player is a goalie, and every other player is either a defender, midfielder, or forward. There is at least one player in each position. The product of the number of defenders, midfielders, and forwards is a mulitple of $121$. Find the number of ordered triples (number of defenders, number of midfielders, number of forwards) that satisfy these conditions. [b]p3.[/b] Messi is playing in a game during the Round of $16$. On rectangular soccer field $ABCD$ with $AB = 11$, $BC = 8$, points $E$ and $F$ are on segment $BC$ such that $BE = 3$, $EF = 2$, and $FC = 3$. If the distance betweenMessi and segment $EF$ is less than $6$, he can score a goal.

[b]p4.[/b] The workers are building theWorld Cup stadium for the $2022$ World Cup in Qatar. It would take 1 worker working alone $4212$ days to build the stadium. Before construction started, there were 256 workers. However, each day after construction, $7$ workers disappear. Find the number of days it will take to finish building the stadium. [b]p5.[/b] In the penalty kick shootout, $2$ teams each get $5$ attempts to score. The teams alternate shots and the team that scores a greater number of times wins. At any point, if it’s impossible for one team to win, even before both teams have taken all $5$ shots, the shootout ends and nomore shots are taken. If each team does take all $5$ shots and afterwards the score is tied, the shootout enters sudden death, where teams alternate taking shots until one team has a higher score while both teams have taken the same number of shots. If each shot has a $\frac12$ chance of scoring, the expected number of times that any team scores can be written as $\frac{A}{B}$ for relatively prime positive integers $A$ and $B$. Find $1000A+B$.
