Hello! We’re back with the soccer/football pool. This time it is around the Euro 2024 tournament, which will be happening in Germany.
It is 20 CAD to enter our pool. Money can be delivered by cash, Interac or PayPal. If you’re sending money by PayPal, you must cover the transfer cost. This means that I need to receive exactly 20 CAD per entry. If doing an eTransfer or PayPal, send money to [email protected]. The deadline to pay the entry fee is on June 14th.
Prizes
We have redefined the consolation prize. We will no longer gratify the last position in the pool! If there’s only one person who finished 4th and the first three positions are occupied by no more than three participants, then s/he gets a 20 CAD consolation prize.
The person who gains most points in total, wins the bet and gets the 60% of total amount of money (minus 20 CAD “consolation prize” if such was awarded) which was bet by all participants of the pool. The person who has second-most points gets 30% of the pool money, and the person who is third-placed gets 10%. If there are more than three participants who finished in the top three (i.e. a tie), then the whole amount of pool is divided accordingly. Also, cost of money transfer, if necessary, will be deducted from the amount won.
* Say, one person won the bet, and there are three participants who finished second place with the same amount of points, then the first person gets 60% of the stake, the three runners-up get 40% divided by 3 (13.33% each) and there’s no prize for winning the 3rd or 4th place in this case. In case two participants win the bet, and one person finishes 3rd place, the first two participants get 90% (60% + 30%) of the stake divided in half (45% less $10 “consolation prize” per person) and the 3rd place person gets 10%. And so on, and so forth.
