[NEW] UEFA Euro 2012 Last Man Standing (Round 1)

[Nossmayo]

Hi all.

We start a brand new International version of Last Man Standing with the European Championship commencing from next Friday 8th June 2012.

We've not tried this format before so we'll see how we get on. We may need to tweak the rules slightly for the knockout stages, but we'll look at that nearer the time.

Anyone is free to join in (the more the merrier!) but you must start from Round 1 and continue in each round thereafter to stay in the game.

Rules

You pick a different International team each round and as long as your teams keep winning you stay in the game. The important thing is you cannot pick the same team twice. So if you pick Portugal that's them gone for the rest of the game for you. Once your selected team loses or draws you're out of the game.

In the event of match involving a team you have selected being postponed or cancelled, you will continue to the next round, however that team will no longer be available for selection. Should the game be played before the conclusion of the current edition and the selected team fails to win, you are eliminated.

Should you forget (or are unable) to make your selection in any round, you will automatically be assigned the first team that you have not previously selected in alphabetical order. Whenever possible I will send reminders via trust email to players that have yet to make their selection within 24 hours of the deadline.

If you fail to select in three consecutive rounds you will automatically be eliminated.

EDIT: Oh, and I assume you mean Friday the 8th of June, not the 18th, Noss?

Indeed, thanks.

Say you've picked Spain and Germany in the first two rounds... then it's a Spain v Germany final... you've automatically lost? So people should try and pick the weakest side they think will get a win, in each last man standing round they play, right?

(That's a pro tip, everyone! Wasting a Holland pick sounds like a bad plan, to me! )

I take your point. We may have to consider re-setting the teams already selected by those who are still in the game after the group stages?

Thoughts?

 

[Nossmayo]

Ok lets stick with the traditional rules. There will be no re-setting of teams after the group stages.

I'm off on holiday for a week tomorrow so I'll post everyone's selections on my return.

Cheers all.
