...er anyways... MINE lol
Group games'll be posted 1 week before start, just like the other PLs.
Only issue right now is the scoring. Because every league uses different scoring, and that I know of the SuperLiga is the only one using a relatively TOTALLY different scoring system, so we should have a vote on that in the future as to which scoring system is used.

use the CL format if you can be assed adding all that **** up...
I'll think about it, but I've been looking into using the Serie A format. It's simple, fair chanced, but won't take me over a week to add up. Besides I'm expecting for a lot of people to participate so I don't want to make it time-consuming and make the scores go into next rounds, because in the CL you have about 2 weeks to get the counting done if needed, in this case it needs to be done much quicker.

Serie A scoring system is ok.
But as it's a relatively short tournament be sure to mention everyone's scoring, that doesn't happen in Serie A PL but should.

Well I will use a different scoring system, but that won't effect the way everything else is done. Everything else will be posted like I do with the Superliga.
Only thing different is that group stage will be included as one big score instead of posting it up as teams play first, second and third games.

Well I'll tell you the same reason why the whole qualifying for the ECC Prediction League was not picked up.
Because it's supposed to be fun. If you limit the amount of competitors surely it won't be fun. And how would you determine the 16 out of what? Surely around 40 or so who post predictions for most leagues. It is a good idea, but only if someone else decided to run it.
Edit-I've also been pondering the idea of offering more points for the quarter finals, even more for semis, and the most for finals. Kind of adds a bit of tension, what are your views on this?

Why not 10 points if your right, 5 if you get the right winning pattern but not the exact score, and also 5 if you predicted a correct draw, but incorrect numbers... pretty simply IMO...Well I like for the scores to not be so big. I want the contest to be exciting with a close table all around. If you give out points like it's candy then you have a useless PL.
Alright here is the concept...
3 points for having exact score of the game.
1 points for having right outcome but wrong score.
0 points for not having the right outcome.
Also, matches will be given an importance level(from 1(relatively unimportant) to 3). A 3 will signify a rivalry, all the semis, and the final. A 2 will be a game which is mildly important, notely the quarters. And a 1 will be a game with no importance, such as if a team goes to their last group stage with 6 points against a relatively weaker team.
And eventually between now and Euro I'll figure out a way to incorporate these importance levels into the scoring system. If you think the idea sucks, then we'll just do the regular scoring I have listed above.
