* Where the prize is bugger all! (except some irrelevant bragging rights)
With the tournament kicking off on Friday (yes really THIS Friday!) I thought I'd throw this together as a bit of fun.
THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION THREAD FOR THE TOURNAMENT, DON'T USE IT AS SUCH.
Right, now that that's sorted, here's the rules.
We're going to be doing this on a round by round basis, I don't expect you to predict the entire tournament at the start, just the results in each round.
Scoring goes as follows:
-1 point for getting the correct type of result (say if Spain beats Ireland 3-1 but you said Spain to win 4-0)
-1 point for getting either team's score correct, regardless of result (so in the above scenario if Spain were to win 3-0 you'd get a point for predicting Spain's goal score, as well as your point for getting the result type correct)
- If you predict the complete score it's worth 5 points (1 point for the result, 1 point for either side's score (each) and a bonus 2 points for a perfect prediction)
All entries must be finalised BEFORE the kickoff of the first game of that group. Any posts that are submitted, or previous submissions that are edited after this time will be declared null and void. (Note posts CAN be edited BEFORE the deadline, in case you change your mind or something happens)
The dates are as follows (times in Ukrane time, the responsibility is yours in checking how what this is in your local timezone.):
Group Stage - Round one: Friday 8th June - 19:00 // Round two: Tuesday 12th June - 19:00 // Round three: Saturday 16th June - 21:45
Quarter Finals - Thursday 21st June - 21:45
Semi Finals - Wednesday 27th June - 21:45
Final - Sunday 1st July - 21:45
A score table will be put up after each stage so you can check your own progress. Any matches that are called off will be declared null and void, regardless of the score at the time of game's ending. If any games are subject to replays the predictions will be for the replayed fixture.
Good luck everyone!
