Title: Euro 2012 Competition - Phase 1
Post by: Anmer on June 16, 2012, 08:42:53 AM
Those of you who follow the daily exchanges in our Chat Box may have noticed some friendly banter and predictions for upcoming Euro 2012 matches.  This has evolved into non-cash wagers between some members and a points system.

For a correct score 5 points are awarded.  A correct result but wrong score 2 points.

For Friday's Group D matches we had two entrants, IanK and Bethsalem.

I will maintain the results table here.

If there is sufficient interest I can run a formal competition for the knock-out stages through to the final and find a suitable prize for the winner.

If you just want to join in the fun for the rest of the Group stage please post your predictions here.

Last day of the Group matches.

IanK leading with 20 points, followed by Bethsalem with 13.

If we just use the last three days matches to include the latecomers:

16 IanK
8 moonie31
6 Bethsalem and Saudistu
0 Hamish

The permutations for this round are endless.

Bethsalem could win if he gets the scoreline correct for both matches and Ian only gets one result.  If both are equal, Scottish born entrants come last.  :)

Well done IanK - 22 points.  And well done all those who participated, including Hamish who finished strongly.

USB Cable and Flash Drive for Ian.  :)

A PGR for the winner of Phase 2 - all the way to the final.

Scores start from zero.

One rule that hasn't been needed yet,
usually we have to predict the score at 90 mins so extra time doesn't count, do you want to apply this now ?

Sort of sums up Holland's performance  ;D

Why not "final result" or "score after extra time but before penalties"?

It was just a suggestion as this is how we have always played it, but it is entirely down to you.
Your the ref :)

Post by: Anmer on June 20, 2012, 10:10:40 AM
It was a good point.

I've gone for:

1. Final score at 90 mins before extra time.
2. Result after extra time and penalties.

Makes for more interest and soul searching  :)
