Euro 2012 Competition - Entry Rules

These are the rules for the Euro 2012 Competition

The relatively simple task is to predict the finishing placings of each of the groups and then the knockout stages. This must all be done before the first match kicks off.

Points will be awarded as follows:

Group Stages

1 point for each correct group placing.

Quarter Finals

By filling in the Groups, you will effectively create your second round draw.

For each correct team playing in the right QF match, 2 points will be awarded.

If a team you have chosen reaches the QF's, but not in the game you have designated, 1 point will be awarded.

Semi Finals

For each correct team playing in the right SF match, 4 points will be awarded.

If a team you have chosen reaches the SF's, but not in the game you have designated, 2 points will be awarded.

The Final

For each correct team playing in the right Final position, 8 points will be awarded.

If a team you have chosen reaches the Final, but not in the position you have designated, 4 points will be awarded.

The Winner

16 points will be awarded for correctly predicting the eventual winner.

1st place (most points) - Tier 2 subscription for a year - staff are excluded

2nd place - Tier 1 subscription for a year- staff are excluded

3rd place - A pat on the back - staff are not excluded ;)

If there is a tie in points then both members will receive the prize.

I'd love to see England do well, but they will get knocked out at the 1st knockout phase. Ireland to be a sleeper hit, lol!

I'm just being realistic. We all know how well England is doing at major tournaments.

But finishing bottom of the group isn't going to happen. (I certain hope not anyway!) You really think Ukraine is a better side than England?!

Thanks for the spotting the error and the mail Neobond. My old post can either be deleted or have most of the characters removed by a mod if possible. Which ever is easier.

Sadly, he's right. We don't have what it takes to beat Germany, or win the tournament.

I don't think that's quite true. The quality is there, but there's also a sense of entitlement that some to most of the players feel they have to just come into a major international competition and should do well because they do well at club level. In reality, most England players don't give a rats ass about representing thir country, haven't for a while. Which is a damn shame as there are some players that deserve(d) to be elevated to the status of "greatest" by winning the Euros or the World Cup.

Aint got a clue, so I'm going with the boss.

Oh sweet, thanks very much chaps! I should of put some money on my predictions, oh well I shall be very happy to get back into the super exclusive subscriber forum :p

On a side note, I really enjoyed the tournament, showcased Ukraine and Poland really well. Top marks for them, also our English fans did very well, I heard hardly any negative things against them.

    • What pushed me away from edge was the massive enshitification, constantly adding more and more bloat. Coupled with the constant changes in UI, and especially in the settings. Want to change the default search from Bing to whatever, you would have use search to know the three places to go and change. Then 6 months down the road, the Edge settings area gets a major update/change and doing the same task, changing the default search is now moved to three new locations. This never stops. They do this in Azure and its so insanely irritating. I am a huge OneNote user and they have effed it up so many times in the last 5 years....same for Outlook. People walk away from Microsoft products out of exhaustion.
    • Mac does nothing of the sort. You can change the default browser very easily it does not nag you and when you do this, it does not open something still in Safari....like Windows does with Edge.
    • I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.
    • On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
