I'm a little disappointed with how it turned out, but I just analyzed head-to-head matchups and off-the-top-of-my-head strengths & weaknesses of each team in a head-to-head and yech... I do not like the way that it turned out. I hope that I'm wrong and don't come close to winning this thing.

All right, I just created a system where we can just post our pics here. This system should more or less work but will likely need a few scoring tweaks from someone who's better at math than I am, which is literally everyone. Here it is;

 

Fill out a bracket all the way through and post your picks here. Scoring:

 

Group winner- 20 points

Runner up- 10 points

Both correct- 20 points

Both teams in inverse order- 10 points

 

KO rounds:

 

10 points for each winner correctly predicted

Bonus points for correctly predicting winners in original bracket- 

20 points for every team in final 8

35 points for every team in semifinal

50 points for winner

 

Bonuses for KO rounds-

 

+30 for correctly paired QF matchups

+40 for correctly paired semifinal matchups

+50 for correctly paired Final

+60 for correctly paired Final and winner

 

And maybe some bonus points for predicting the 3rd place game correctly? Somebody polish this turd and keys do this 

---------------

So, we all post one original bracket- after the KO rounds are set we start over with our picks, but bonus points are available for those who correctly predicted matchups and winners in their original bracket- does that make sense?

Also I wouldn't mind if we extended entry into this thing into Friday- there's only one game tomorrow and pretty much everyone has that group shaking out in the same order anyway. We can all have that first game in the books so nobody really has an advantage.

and the final verdict is...

A non-shaggy person got 1st, I got second, Derka got 3rd. 

So, Derka, keep your money as "winnings", and I'll do the rest of the payouts.

 

FireStarters - 5250

skipperj - 4650

Giroud 4 Golden Boot - 4600

All picked France, and all are Arsenal fans. :)

i already paid.

I never received any payment from you. I do see that the original post had the correct email (skipperj@skipperj.com), while a reply later had an incorrect one of skipper@skipperj.com.

Go in to paypal and cancel the transaction. It didn't go anywhere as that email doesn't exist.
