Default Euro 2004 Prediction League!

Fixture List
All Knockout matches kick-off at 19:45

FINAL
Sunday 4th July
Portugal .v. Greece

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, you knew it was coming didn't you!

Welcome everyone to the first prediction league for the European Championhips (but of course, not the first for EA!) I'll be using the same points system that has been in place throughout the three seasons of the English Premiership PL, the CL PL and the Israeli PL. For anyone who might be new or unsure of the points system, here it is again:

Guessing the correct score of one team = 1 point.

Guessing the correct winner of the match = 2 points.

Guessing the correct winner and one teams score = 3 points.

Guessing the correct winner and both teams scores = 4 points.

Guessing a draw correctly = 1 point.

Guessing a draw correctly and the right score = 2 points.

Guessing the loser as the winner, and vice versa = -1 point.


Bonus Points

* If you correctly predict at least 6 of the matches from each round of group matches [8 matches (June 12th - 15th, June 16th - 19th, June 20th - 23rd)] .. then you'll get a 10 points bonus.

* If you predict all the Quarter-Finals correctly, then you'll get a 6 points bonus.


What I plan on doing in regards to posting the fixture lists, is to post all the group matches in this post closer to the start of the tournament, as the matches will be coming thick and fast (2 a day, every day for 12 days). That way it'll be easier to see what matches will be taking place on a particular day, without having to search through many posts to do with other people's predictions and results. I'll update with the first two Quarter-Finals late on June 21st and the other two Quarter-Finals late on June 23rd. Then the Semi-Finals and Final can be done the traditional way.

The only two things I ask, is that you must have your prediction for a specific match posted in this thread before the kick-off time for that match (I'm leniant if you're a few minutes overdue ). If you feel you're going to not be able to post certain matches due to time limitations, get them in earlier.

I hope that we'll have a nice amount of people joining in. Good luck to everyone who takes part.

27 days left.

(I'll stick this once the FA Cup match between Manchester United and Millwall has been played in the EA Premiership thread)

I want to participate in this one, so badly! (treble chances!!! )

But I'm afraid I might not be able. My finals will be a heavy burden. It's the very last time though that I need to go through this. Yet, I'll still do my utmost to not let all of you down! I'll do what I can to still give you all some competition.

I might have to mail predictions to you, Neil whenever I can't make it on the forum in time. I'm sure that won't cause many problems in order to participate?

Ea premiarship ( LAST ).. crap .

CL ( 1 plays from last )

Israly... 2nd. ok not that bad oh well not a big thing when its there.

That's fine, just make sure they'll be sent before kick-off of course. I never liked the way of doing it by e-mail after we'd started. It became chaotic updating everyone's results at different times..


Glad to see you joining in Chris.


I forgot to add that if we get enough people we could have a team competition.
Also, I'd like to give bonus points for predicting the winners, finalists and semi-finalists before the tournament starts. 6 points for correctly guessing the winner, 2 points for guessing each finalist and 1 point for each semi-finalist correctly guessed. What does everyone think about that?

Of course, you can count on that. If I fail at that, it's just my own problem as I won't gain points.

To anyone who acidently might miss 1 or 2 matches, tough luck I guess?? Cause I don't really see that many other games left to predict as catch-up games ... North Europe? South America? Australia?

Sounds good Neil. The more bonuspoints we can gain, the better. When do you want us to post those predictions?

Yep, it'll be tough luck .. unless there are any world cup qualifiers taking place at the time.

By the end of Friday 11th June, a day before the group matches will start.
