Euro Pool


Here's how this is gonna work. Take a look at the points system below, from ESPN:

Group Stage (24 matches): 1 point = 24 total points
Quarter-finals (4 matches): 3 points = 12 total points
Semi-finals (2 matches): 5 points = 10 total points
Final (1 match): 7 points = 7 total points

Let's follow this--sort of. What we'll do is pick each match in the first round, pick either W L or T. For each match you pick correctly in group play, you get one point. For every team you pick correctly into the quarters, you get 3 points. For the semis, 6 points. For finals, 9 points. If you pick the champ, you get 12 points. Does this make sense to everyone? I don't think we'll be able to wager on this for several reasons, but this seems like a fun thing to do. You've got about 60 hours from this posting to research and get your results back to me. Good luck!
