Euro 2008 Tipping Comp

Ok, by popular (well, two people :ph34r:) demand I'm going to shamelessly rehash the Union World Cup 2007 format for the round ball code this summer.

Scoring

Outcome: 3 points (e.g. Team A to win, Team B to win or draw)

Score: Spot-on - 3 points (e.g. Team A 3 Team B 1); Correct margin - 1 point (e.g. you tip Team A to win 2-1 & they win 1-0 or you tip a score draw & it's 0-0)

First goalscorer: Correct goalscorer named - 3points; Predicted first goalscorer scores goal other than first - 1 point.

Devastatingly straightforward, I'm sure you'll agree. So your tips should look something like:

Germania 2 Italialand 1
First goalscorer: Hugh Jarse

All welcome, more the merrier, tell your friends, etc...

Fixtures for week one:

Saturday, 7 June
Switzerland v Czech Republic
Portugal v Turkey

Sunday, 8 June
Austria v Croatia
Germany v Poland

Monday, 9 June
Romania v France
Netherlands v Italy

Tuesday, 10 June
Spain v Russia
Greece v Sweden

Wednesday, 11 June
Czech Republic v Portugal
Switzerland v Turkey

Thursday, 12 June
Croatia v Germany
Austria v Poland

Friday, 13 June
Italy v Romania
Netherlands v France

All tips made before KO accepted &, if you change your tip, please could you quote your original post in a new one rather than edit as it's easy to miss them. :)

Ah Hugh Jarse. There is a sea of endless possibilities when it comes to stupid names, you had to pick that one :p

Sounds good anyway. At what point will the format change? I seem to remember it did at the semi-final stage of the RWC.

Quarter-finals seems to make sense. Although I am kinda winging it, so who knows...? :happy:

It is better than nothing when there is no other football on. I don't particularly care about who wins, however, and I wouldn't care much if England were in it either. I just look out for United players tbh.

Yeah, I'll have a pop, as I said before.

It'll fill the time before watching the glory of League 2:)

I'm in.

One question though..

If you tip the scoreline to be 0 - 0. And tip no goal scorers, do you get max points, if correct?

As I am one of the few whose team has qualified, I feel obliged to participate. Will hopefully remember to do so.
