Euro 2024 rules
Who can dethrone Kelly ‘the Octopus’?
Entry Fee = £10 (or $12). You can pay in cash, by bank transfer or by Paypal. Contact me for details (the prize fund last time around was £500!)
Overall competition winner will take 75% of the Pot, and the leader after the Group Stages are completed will take 25% of the Pot. No prizes for runners up!
First step is to predict the Group Stages: You will score ONE POINT for each team you correctly predict to qualify for the Knockout stages, and ONE BONUS POINT if you correctly predicted their finishing position (1st, 2nd or 3rd). Maximum points is 32, and remember, the leader after the Groups will take 25% of the prize fund. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will come into play: how many goals will be scored in the Group Stages?

You’ll be invited to submit your Knockout Predictions once the Group Stages are over!
World Cup 2022 Results
Well done to the six of you that predicted an Argentina vs France final, and the four that also predicted an Argentina win! But most of all, congratulations to Kelly ‘the Octopus’ Davies for a second jackpot win – £375 is on the way!
Special mentions: although ultimately not enough, Shelley scored the most points in the knockout rounds and was the only person to predict Croatia’s appearance in the semis. On the other side of the coin, Joe ‘the Sultan’ Snell, Matt ‘Nipsey’ Russell and Simon ‘Gedge like hedge but with a G’ were all out after the Quarter Finals.
Here’s the final leaderboard (or follow this link to the Google Sheet):
Hope to see you all back here in summer 2024!

Slightly delayed but the results are here! Kudos to “Creepy Uncle” Neil B who claims the lead at the halfway stage. £127 on its way! Hard luck to Rowdy (again) & Matt “MTH” the Head who both also finished on 23 points but lost out on the tiebreaker.
Full results are below (or, if you prefer a spreadsheet view, click here).
If the box is blue, you scored two points for getting it exactly right. If the box is gold, you scored one point for correctly predicting that a team would get out of their group. Otherwise, you scored zilch.
