Helloooo? Anyone Out there?
Its me again - and its been a while since the forums have been "alive" - they seem to be in a coma these days, so I thought I might start this early so as many people as want to join can.
The rules will be similar to my previous prediction game if anyone remembers it -
You will be awarded points for correct predictions and correct goal differences for each match.
3 points will be awarded for an exact final game score,
1 point will be awarded for a correct goal difference predictions.
Added for the Euro Cup - the ability to win extra points by correctly predicting the winner of each group before the competition begins - 5 points will be awarded for each correct group winner.
Also - 15 points will be given if you correctly predict the winner of the Euro Cup before one game is played.
The winner will have his name remembered on footytube as long as this post lasts
If you would like to join, please reply to the Registration Post below.
One more thing - I would like two or three volunteers to be backups for me in case I am unable to post games or record predictions, let me know if you are interested and we might be able to work something out - I'm thinking a google spreadsheet to record all predictions for each player which can only be edited by myself and a volunteer so no one cheats.
I would like to enter this euro2012 competition although how will I know went to start\do etc? Please reply on my page if you have an answer! Thanks, oh and do I have to pick a team? Sorry I don't know that much.... But if so I will be Germany?!

Thanks for the interest - looks like it'll be fun
I did this early so more people can see it and join early rather than late - I will post first round of predictions about a week or so before actual competition. I have posted a complete match schedule below - it is rather large so for best viewing right click and select "open in new tab/window"
Hey Paul, if you need a hand I don't mind helping out either.... Although the reality is you are just going to be bored out of your mind. Not much to do in Winnipeg I hear
A 15/16 probability prediction that Spain doesn't wiin! Yeah yeah. Invalid. So I'll go in for a Netherlands victory, which is going to be a lot more satisfying coming from the group of death
(P. S. I won't be joining the predictions game, but I'll be keeping tabs on this thread to see how things turn out. Good luck to everyone participating and great job setting this up, Paul!)
3 for Netherlands, 1 for Croatia, 2 for spain, I for Italy, 1 for Portugal and 4 for Germany so far. Interestingly, three of those teams are from the same group!
With all the recent problems and media speculation it'll be hard for the England team and fans, but impossible is nothing as Adidas says, so why not. Ps I'm no English fan here

Hello again everyone! I'm glad to see so much interest in this predictions game - you're all welcome to join if you haven't yet - if you haven't noticed yet - I have made up a google spreadsheet which i've linked to the very first post, in it i've placed everyone's predictions so far, please take a look. If there's anything wrong feel free to tell me, and there are still a lot of people who haven't predicted either the overall winner or group winners (myself included at the time of writing this....) Not to worry - there is still time before the competition begins.
One last prediction that I will add to make everything run smoothly when tallying up all the points - a tiebreaker prediction in case of any points of participants being equal. The closest prediction will win the tiebreak - in case of that also being equal, precedence will be given to the prediction below the actual number of goals, not over.
Here it is, Please READ carefully my instructions:
PREDICT the Total Goals Scored by the Champion team - the Winner of the Euro Cup for 2012
6 matches and an average of 2. 5 goals per match=15 goals. Give or take 3 (0. 5 goals) and you be in the safe area. Looking how nobody picked 16 goals yet I guess I will go for that:
