HWCI EURO 2012 Pool

Inaugural Quadrennial HWCI UEFA European Championship Soccer Tournament Pool
	HWCI EURO 2012 Pool - Rules

You will make 40 choices in this pool- all before the first match is played! You will pick the 24 winners of the round robin matches, the 8 teams who will make it to the Quarterfinals, the 4 teams who will make it to the Semifinals, the 2 teams in the Final Match, the 2012 EURO champion, and a tiebreaker total goals prediction. Here is what we will need from you (use this form):

NAME: Your full name

EMAIL/PHONE #: Your email address (preferred) or your phone number… if you win we need a way to contact you! Also, there will be a periodic email update every other day or so.

NICKNAME: Something short, something sweet…. be forewarned- if you don't choose a nickname we will choose one for you!

(Now to your picks…)

GROUP A (6): List the six winners in order of group play (see next page) (if you want to be safe, list the game number then winner; e.g., “1-Poland, 2-Tie, 9-Greece, 10-Poland, 17-Czech Rep, 18-Russia” instead of “POL, TIE, GRE, POL, CZE, RUS” which is fine to do, if you have got them in the right order)

GROUP B (6): Same as above

GROUP C (6): Same as above

GROUP D (6): Same as above

Quarterfinalists (8): List the 8 teams advancing into the Quarterfinals (top 2

teams in each Group) (NOTE: Does not matter how you picked round-robin matches)

Semifinalists (4): List the 4 teams who will reach the Semifinals (based on your QTRFINAL matchups)

Finalists (2): List the 2 teams who will play for the 2012 EURO title

Champion (1): List the 1 team who will win it all

Tiebreaker

Total Goals: In case of a tie, predict the total number of goals scored in regulation or overtime in BOTH the Semifinal and Final matches (3 matches) (i.e., NOT including penalty kick tiebreaker goals). You can pick in ½ goal increments (i.e., 4.5 goals). The tiebreaker is just “closest to”, so if one person guesses 3.5 goals and another 4.5 goals and the actual total is 4 goals, then there is a tie.
