2019-20 UEFA Champions League Picks Tournament

2019-20 Champions League - Picks Tournament


This UEFA Champions League tournament is all about collecting points in various ways. Whoever has earned the most points when the Champions League is over, wins! :D

[spoiler=Rules
WATCH THE RULES!!!]
Rules:

These rules will provide the numerous ways in which you can collect points over the season.

Entire game:

Before the tournament starts, you may select
one special team
. The team you select can earn you a lot of points for the entire tournament, so make a careful pick!
- If your special team wins any match they play, you get
three
points. If they draw a match, you get
one
point.
- You get one point for every
goal
your special team scores. So pick a team that you expect not only to do well, but also play agressively for scoring many goals!
- If your team reaches the knock-out phase, you get
five
points.
- For every round - up to and including reaching the final - you get
five
more points.
- If your team wins the UEFA Champions League, you get
10 bonus points
!

Group Phase:

- Before the group phase starts, you can select one team in each group. If that team wins a game, you earn
one
point. If that team gets first in the group, you get
two
additional points.
- At the start of each group stage week, you may select three teams to win their match. If they win their match, you get
two
points. If they draw, you get
one
point.
HOWEVER
you may
NOT
select that team again in any of the following group stage weeks! That means you'll be selecting 18 teams in total over the course of the group phase. Plan ahead! Or don't. :mrgreen:
- I will also select a
'highlight match'
. This match can earn you
double points
if you decide to select one of the teams featured in the highlight match.
- Whoever is in last place after the group phase, will get some help by me! They get five bonus points for doing so badly, to give them a better chance at winning! :lol:

Knock-out Phase:

- During the knock-out phase, you may enter one scoreline prediction for a match during each week in which knock-out matches are played. If your prediction is
spot-on
, you get
five
points. If your prediction had the right
winner
(or a draw was predicted correctly)
, but not the exact scoreline, you get
three
points. If you didn't get the winner right, but still got the number of goals scored by one of the teams right, you get one measly point.
- If none of the above applies to your scoreline prediction, you
lose three points
! So make sure you have a prediction where you think you'll have at least something right!

Final:

The final is the most important match of the UEFA Champions League. Thus, you'll be able to win points in multiple ways for this one match! It's a one time shot at stealing or defending the gold medal placement!
- Predict the correct scoreline:
5
points
- Predict the correct winner:
5
points
- Predict one player to score a goal:
3
points for every goal scored
- Predict one player to get booked:
3
points for
yellow
,
5
for
red

- You may opt to predict that this match will go into extra time, or even penalties. Predicting extra time correctly gives you three points and penalties five points, but you will lose three and five points respectively if you predicted this falsely![/spoiler]

Also, in case there are people with tied points, whoever had the most points before the final
(or any round prior to that, if points are still tied)
will place ahead of the other.

Lock time:

I will announce well before time when the lock time is. It is usually before the kick-off time of the first match of a week of Champions League soccer.
Before the start of the first match of the first week, you need to select your
special team
, select one team in each group to get first place, and select three teams to win their match
(which you may not select again in the remainder of the group phase)
.
As the fixtures are not yet known, and not even all teams are known by the time of writing this (the last play-off matches are tonite), you may want to wait a while with sending some picks and predictions. Maybe you feel like already selecting your special team before the fixtures are known, but you physically and theoretically cannot select any other picks just yet. :oops:

You MUST join before the start of Week 3.
Keep in mind that you will not have been able to earn points during the first two weeks of play, so joining in late will drastically decrease your chances of winning and making you relying more on a whole lot of luck.

STANDINGS:
Points scored
vizIIsto31 points
Iconeum31 points
Billy Pilgrim0 points


Also last things last: you can join now by
/in
'ing, or wait until fixtures are known and then simply
bold
all the picks you need to make before the first kick-off takes place. No need for /in'ing at that point; I'll stay active and add you to the name as soon as I see you made predictions. :wink:

As I don't see any advantages to me as this game's host, I guess I will also:
/in

Well, besides that I will pick a highlight match six times for each of the six weeks of Group Phase play. But I will make sure to always pick a game that's expected to be close, and pick matches from six different groups. :good:

This is your last day and a half to select your picks! BE QUICK!
Also
@Iconeum
: that's not how Highlight matches work. If you select a team to win the highlight match, you get double points, but it has to be one of the three teams. It's not a separate category.

Time to update, and welcome, Billy! You're just in time, because I won't be accepting /in's from the start of Week 3 onwards!

vizIIsto (14 points):
Special team: 5 points (3 for win, 2 goals)
Group picks: 7 points (7 teams won)
Week 2 picks: 5 points (1 draw, 1 win in highlight match)
Iconeum (13 points):
Special team: 5 points (3 for win, 2 goals)
Group picks: 7 points (7 teams won)
Week 2 picks: 6 points (2 draws, 1 win in highlight match)

You caught up on that one-point deficit with me quickly! Now we both have 31 points!
