Charge £20. Everyone gets to enter 8 teams for the group stages. One per group with no more than 3 players from each team.
Your four best group scores are carried through to the last 16 stage. At that point you get to pick a team for the last 16's. No more than 3 players for each team. This score gets added to your four scores carried forwarded.
Same for the quarter finals.
At the semi stage you pick a team for the semi's and the final. No more than 6 players per team.
The person with the best average throughout - should be 7 scores - is the winner
Should ensure interest in even the crappiest of the group games.
I presume you're suggesting this as an add-on on top of the regular game? Our usual format might be more of a draw for small punters or new punters and obviously we're hoping to reach some new customers through the WC. Some people are a bit scared of jumping straight into shark-infested waters!
Hi Stakesy
Just thought this was a good way to establish a tournament long game and create the prize pot before the game starts. Also makes every game count as your forced to pick players from smaller nations. Chrismar suggests its complicated but not intended to be that way. Just pick who you think will be the 11 highest scoring players from each group. From the last 16 onwards it's actually the same as the Prem game.
