Sign up for the Euro 2016 Predictions game - Lord Snooty - 23-05-2016
Sign up now for the great European predictions game.
Played along the same lines as the HTFC predictions game, as in Terrier1987Cas or terrier1973 end up winning it.
This time we will put scorers down for the England matches. If you want to put scorers for other matches you can of course use the random badger
For the benefit of new players who haven't seen our game, the random badger
is used for any random prediction used once in each matchday sequence. For instance, a scorer at a particular match, the number of red cards in the matches or yellow cards or own goals or owt you want really.Also for those of you who haven't played before, the joker
is played for one match in each sequence and if correct you get double points. So if you've predicted 1-0 and it finishes 2-0, you get 4 pts, but if you've predicted 2-0, that's 8 pts. But if you get it wrong, it's minus 2.Jokers and badgers are optional. You don't have to play one if you don't want.
2 points for a correct result
4 points for a correct score
2 points for each correct scorer
Joker doubles your score
Wrong joker result gives you minus 2
Correct Random Badger gives you 2 points
Knockout games games:
In the event of a draw, it's half the points if you've predicted a draw when it gets to 90 mins and the full points if it's still a draw after extra time. Half the points will be awarded for correctly predicting the winner of the match if it goes to penalties.
Group idea: Spireitematt came up with the idea of playing this in a group format, similar to what we did on the old site for the World Cup, or was it on here? Can't remember.
We'll see how many sign up. If we get 16, we'll do it in 4 groups of 4. If less it's not really workable I don't think. Then going to a knock out stage. We'll see.
Each matchday will be set out as such and I will work out the scores after each matchday and put up a league table.
Matchday 1:
Friday:
Group A
France v Romania (20:00)
Saturday:
Group A
Albania v Switzerland (14:00)
Group B
Wales v Slovakia (17:00)
England v Russia (20:00)
England scorers:
Russia scorers:
Sunday:
Group D
Turkey v Croatia (14:00)
Group C
Poland v Northern Ireland (17:00)
Germany v Ukraine (20:00)
Monday:
Group D
Spain v Czech Rep (14:00)
Group E
Rep of Ireland v Sweden (17:00)
Belgium v Italy (20:00)
Tuesday:
Group F
Austria v Hungary (17:00)
Portugal v Iceland (20:00)
Then we start matchday 2 on Wednesday, although I will post the fixtures a few days before so you don't have to panic and get them in in a short space of time.
For an example of how this works, here's a random page from this season's league.

I'm in. But don't over complicate it for me. Can just about predict a score. Not who getting goals, substituted or what they are for breakfast ?
