So some of you may remember that Cam (Photomac) ran a tipping competition using an Excel spreadsheet during the last World Cup. Cam doesn't have the time to this year for the Euros so I have taken his spreadsheet and am re-designing it for this.
If you are interested, email me at matt at yellowfever dot co dot nz
These are the rules:
- Entry is $5
Picking:
- The picking is done on Margin of victory, not goals scored
- For each match, choose what you think the result will be using the drop down list. Options are either team by 1 or 2+ goals, or a draw
- This is done for all matches
- You also pick who will top each group, who the overall winner will be, and 2 shots at Golden Boot (If Golden Boot is tied, and you get both correct, then you get points for both).These picks must be in before the Euros starts and cannot be changed
- To give me a chance to get everyones details updated before the matches there is a deadline for getting picks to me.They are split into rounds and advised on the spreadsheet that I am completing.
- Once you have worked out your picks, just save the spreadsheet and email it to me.I’ll take care of the points and will send out updates regularly
Points:
- Picking the Winning Team, but incorrect Margin is 3 points
- Picking the Winning Team and correct Margin is 5 points
- Correctly picking a Draw is 5 points
- Correctly picking who will top a group is 10 points
- Correctly picking the overall winner is 25 points
- Correctly picking Golden Boot is 25 points
Winning:
- The overall winner is the person who gets most points at the end of the tournament
- In the event of a tie, the total number of goals scored by the relevant peoples Golden Boots Selections (both combined) will be used as a tie break. The highest total wins. If its still a tie, I will split the pot.
Prizes:
- Winner takes all, if we get enough people may look at 2nd and 3rd option
- I’ll take cash or if you aren’t in Wellington, or are unlikely to see me, I will flick you my bank details in an email.
- All Kick-off times are NZ time
- I am just working on automating the tables from the results so you can use it to keep track of the tournament if you wish
- I will send out round 2 onwards once round 1 is finished
