Is server time ET? I should be able to watch it.

[mic_check12]

Yeah it is ET.

2 more points, we need a decider if there is tie, I was thinking most goals scored throughout the tournament (inc extra time, exc penalty shootouts), then least yellow+red cards throughout tournament.

Also if 2 people draw the exact 4 teams then the 2nd person gets redrawn at the end of the draw

Both ideas sounds good.

dont like the decider rule. first of all, traditionally you would use the difference between goals scored and goals received. id prefer team that progressed the furthest in tournament, then team that progressed the 2cnd furthest and so on.

whats it with the yellow and red cards ? i have never seen someone so obsessed with cards. you cant be a euro right ?

No idea how you get the idea I'm obsessed with cards from that?!

I'm easy with any decider as long as it is written out and agreed to before it starts as there is a decent chance people will tie. In your example what do you do if both guys tied for 1st have the teams from the final and then they have a team each in the semis and 1 in the quarters?

[Zacharrrr]

last team would be decider: more points in group stage; if tied better goal differental in group stage,if still tied: coinflip

Sorry guys was away for the weekend, I'm happy with the rules and in the event of a tie zacharrr suggestion seems good. Should be to be around for the draw and happy with anyone doing it aslong as a few people are watching.

Aight rules I posted + Zacharr's tiebreaker are the official ones for the game. I'll do the draw if I can get 2 or 3 to watch or else someone else can do it later on. My skype is matt nieberg if anyone who thinks they can watch around 6 or 7pm ET on Thursday wants to add me. Frank Shank said he can prob do it so will only need 1 or 2 more

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Zacharrrr]

can we draw at an earlier time maybe ?

matt tried adding you on skype but doesnt work with the name you provided.

Added you, earlier is fine for me too, wasn't sure if everyone was Euro or not (I am). I'm around from 5pm ET on Thursday. We could even do it on Friday afternoon, say 3pm CET (9am ET) to give more people a chance to sign up/send money...
