2012 UEFA EURO Pool
On June 8th, the 2012 UEFA European Football/Soccer Championships kicks off in Poland/Ukraine.
While a fun thing to follow, it's always more fun when you can brag how much better you are at picking winners that your board-mates ... and now, you can join a pool that will help you prove it.
How To Play:
1. The participating countries have been divided into three groups (see below) based on the odds offered by various bookies around the world.
2. Pick 1 Favourite, 1 Outsider, and 1 No-Hoper to make up your team.
3. For each win (either in regular time, extra time, or penalty kicks), by your teams, you receive 3 points. For each game that ends in a tie (during the initial group stage), you will receive 1 point. For losses you are awarded 0 points.
4. If two or more participants have the same number of points at the end of the tournament, a tie-breaker will be used. As part of your entry, pick a number for the total goals you think will be scored during the entire tournament. This includes goals scored during regulation and extra time, but does not include penalty shoot-outs after extra time. Closest guess (above or below) will be the winner. If the tied participants' guesses are equally close to the total then the title will be shared equally.
5. Complete the "form" below with your name/handle, email address, selected countries (3), and tie-breaker guess. The countries within each group will appear in alphabetical order.
6. Games begin on Friday June 8th, the final is played on Sunday July 1st.
7. Please submit your picks by gmailing Zork at zork0000 by 10:00 am Friday June 8th.
