Euro 2016 Tipping Cup- sign up here

[dannyboi-ffc]

Ok guys, first of all I'd just like to confirm that the Tipping cup is no more. Or at least for the next couple of years. It was getting too much with the young family and the constant moderating I had to keep on top of thanks to you lot (joking). But I've come up with an alternative.  It will be a 4 a side team tipping cup for every Euros and World Cup which is much more manageable as it's once every two years and doesn't last for months like the domestic cups do.

I've asked members to be captains. Nothing personal if you wasn't asked, I just picked those who were regulars on the tipping scene or I knew would be easy to get hold of. There are 11 captains which means there's 11 teams of 4. There are 36 group stage fixtures, each member of a team will predict 9 fixtures each. Your captain will be asked to put you in an order from 1 to 4 which will determine which 9 fixtures you are responsible for. So effectively it is a relay race with you all predicting a leg each. 

Every correct result is worth 1 point and every correct score worth 2 points as normal. As well as the group stage games you will predict (at the same time) the winner,golden boot and player of tournament. These 3 questions are worth 5 points each and carry the interest through to the end. If you predict a player who gets injured just before the tournament (hopefully not an englishman) then it's hard luck. Predictions cannot be edited. The reason for having captains is to ensure there are no accusations of cheating. You will send your predictions to your captain and once every captain has all their teams predictions they will post them on behalf of their team.

If it is a success it will become a permanent feature but like all my bright ideas we need a trial run lol. Please sign up below by posting the name of the captain you want to step onto the pitch alongside. It's first come first serve.

After every round of fixtures I will post a league table. Hopefully being a team competition there will be plenty of banter.

Over to you guys.  049:gif

Everytime someone signs up I will add them to their team. Please check if a team already has 5 before posting. It's first come first serve so basically the first 4 for the same captain makes a team.

Come on my team!

I would like to join McBride's.
Living close to Captain Yankee Jim makes for an easy choice.  The team name didn't hurt either!!
Thank you, Danny, for organising this contest.

When you can't even respond to the right post I do begin to have doubts about your capabilities as a captain lol.

I'm so tempted to open two new accounts and pretend I'm Matt Smith and Scott Parker. Guess what team I'd be signing up to just to irritate you

[dannyboi-ffc]

Mangoputney and Glen are in. Nice one guys!

[CorkCity]

If so put me in please.
