applications are now closed, sorryOkay, just as a bit of fun, we're going to be running a sweepstake for the European championships. Obviously it's too difficult to get everyone chipping in and the winner taking the pot as we don't want to rule anyone out of playing so it's purely just for fun. There will be some rep points up for grabs though; 16 points for first, 8 for second, and 4 for 3rd. (can anyone clarify there is a 3rd place play off? I'm pretty sure there is) so this is how it will workEveryone who wishes to participate, all you need to do is PM me and ask for a team number. I've listed all the teams in a completely random order and numbered them from 1 - 16. The first person to PM me will receive #1, the second will get #2.....the 16th will get #16 etc, and should there be a 17th person, we will go back to #1 and work our way through again. Keep your number safe as I will publish the list here on the forums an hour before the tournament kicks off so you can see which team you have drawn - applications are open until this time (1 hour before the first game of the tournament) but will not be accepted after then. This is open to every member and there are no requirements. The teams are listed completely randomly so it's not necessarily a case of the quicker you are the better team you will draw, however, get your applications in asap so you don't forget - I'll PM you with your team number as soon as I can. Thanks

I don't think there's a 3rd place playoff at the Euros...at least I can't remember there being one in past years (then again, no one remembers them usally anyway). About to send my PM now.

Received and replied with your team number Yeah, I know there is a play off in either of the two international tournaments so that could be the world cup then. If thats the case we'll do it on who doesn't get their ass kicked as bad in the semis ;D

Great idea!, i've PM'd ya! Please, not Austria! Austria are a dignified and respectable team that could end up suprising you. After all they are the home team and upsets have happened before...if you got them it wouldn't be that bad. I have sent the PM

Since all the posts from a few days ago disappeared from the forum, including a number from this thread I'll repeat this: We still have a few teams left so if you haven't entered yet, send me a PM now to get a team number it only takes a few seconds, come on we need to at least have 1 member for each of the 16 teams.

well I was going to take the next number available when I close applications - so I get a random one too, but we only have 3 (2 excluding mine) left so I'm thinking I might close it when the last 2 are taken so it's one a team - since we certainly won't get 32 people, it's probably better than say, only 2 teams having 2 people. In other words, be quick ;D the next 2 people to pm me will get one (unless there are 18 people waiting until the last minute )

There is now just 1 team left, so the first person to PM me will get it and I will then close this thread

I'm now closing this, so applications are closed. Since we've ended up closing it early, the team list will be up in a few minutes
