Euro Prediction League
#1
Posted 20 May 2016 - 09:49 AM
I have had several requests to run a Euros prediction league and have been thinking how to do this. Any final format will depend on how many people are willing to take part.
My initial thoughts are this.
Stage 1
people will be put in groups of 4 and will go head to head predicting 1st,2nd and 3rd group games in 3 head to head matches with 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a defeat and points gained being the higher place in case teams on equal points. Depending on how many groups I will decide prior to kick off how many progress to the knock out stage.
Stage 2
the round of 16 games will be then be used as head to head straight knock out games with the winners progressing to stage 3
Stage 3
people left will be asked to predict the results of the quarter finals, semi finals 3rd place play off and final and the winner will be the person with the highest predictions score over these games so therefore a league table based on correct predictions
I will have a bit of fine tuning to do but this is the general idea
If you are interested in taking part then reply to this thread
I will ask for a volunteer at a later stage to meet up with me to help me do a draw for the groups. I will then post the fixtures to predict and the head to head games. To allow time for predictions and preparing the groups i have set an initial deadline of 6th June for people to confirm they are interested.
Hopefully this will be as much fun as the other prediction cups and leagues. at least 16 people will make it work really well.
