2010/2011 UEFA Champions' League Prediction Competition

It's back again, with the same format and the same rules as the past numerous seasons!

Our previous winners:
2002/2003 - BreizhManu
2003/2004 - BreizhManu
2004/2005 - moriarity
2005/2006 - atatange1
2006/2007 - condors
2007/2008 - TazFTW
2008/2009 - SirFozzie
2009/2010 - Cards4ever

Enough with the kudos to past champions, we're looking for another name to add to that list. We're picking in three phases, just like the UEFA is drawing in three phases:
* group phase rounds
* round of 16 knockout round
* quarterfinals through the final knockout rounds

In our picking competition you can score points in every phase with 40 points in the group phase, 16 in the round of 16 and another 40 in the final playoff tree from eight teams down to one team.

We kickstart with the group phase. You predict the final standings in all eight groups. For every team correctly predicted in the top two you get 1 point. You receive 1 more point if the ranking is correct as well. You can also score 1 point for correctly predicting the third ranked team in the group. That adds up to 5 points per group, for a total of 40 points.

The eight groups in the first round are (names as listed at UEFA.com):

Group A
FC Internazionale Milano (ITA)
SV Werder (GER)
Tottenham Hotspur FC (ENG)
FC Twente (NED)

Group B
Olympique Lyonnais (FRA)
SL Benfica (POR)
FC Schalke 04 (GER)
Hapoel Tel-Aviv (ISR)

Group C
Machester United FC (ENG)
Valencia CF (ESP)
Rangers FC (SCO)
Bursaspor (TUR)

Group D
FC Barcelona (ESP)
Panathinaikos FC (GRE)
FC København (DEN)
FC Rubin Kazan (RUS)

Group E
FC Bayern München (GER)
AS Roma (ITA)
FC Basel 1893 (SUI)
CFR 1907 Cluj (ROU)

Group F
Chelsea FC (ENG)
Olympique de Marseille (FRA)
FC Spartak Moskva (RUS)
MŠK Žilina (SVK)

Group G
AC Milan (ITA)
Real Madrid CF (ESP)
AFC Ajax (NED)
AJ Auxerre (FRA)

Group H
Arsenal FC (ENG)
FC Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR)
SC Braga (POR)
FK Partizan (SRB)

To make your pick, list the teams in the order you think they will finish in. For example:
Group I: 1. Liverpool, 2. Juventus, 3. PSV.
No need to list the fourth team or spell out the full names, as long as it's obvious who you think will finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in each respective group.
Please don't edit your posts, chances are I miss your changes and things might get confusing. In those rare cases where you really need to change your picks, either edit them right away (in hopes I didn't add your previous picks to the spreadsheet) or make a new post.

Deadline for your picks are kickoff of the first games played, which will be September 14th at 2:45 pm Eastern.

Happy picking!

Heh. I made the example with three non-qualifiers to make it obvious it was hypothetical.

22 entries for the group phase, that's a pretty decent number.

The average picks from our field would be:
A: 1 Inter, 2 Tottenham, 3 Werder, 4 Twente
B: 1. Lyon, 2. Schalke, 3. Benfica, 4. Hapoel T-A
C: 1. ManUtd, 2. Valencia, 3. Bursaspor, 4. Rangers
D: 1. Barcelona, 2. Rubin Kazan, 3. Panathinaikos, 4. Kobenhavn
E: 1. Bayern, 2. Roma, 3. Basel, 4. CFR Cluj
F: 1. Chelsea, 2. Marseille, 3. Spartak, 4. MSK Zilina
G: 1. Real Madrid, 2. AC Milan, 3. Ajax, 4. Auxerre
H: 1. Arsenal, 2. Shakhtar, 3. Braga, 4. Partizan

That's a unique set of picks, as in, nobody made the exact same predicition as the average. To make things more interesting, everybody made teir own set of predictions, there are no duplicates.

Alright, on to the final stage of the prediction competition!

The quarterfinals draw is out, as is the semi finals draw, as is the draw for the final. Listed below are the four quarterfinals matchups, with the home team in game one listed first. In the semi finals, the winner of the first listed matchup plays against the winner of matchup two, and the winner of the third matchup plays against the winner of the fourth matchup. In both cases the winner of the first listed matchup will play at home in the first game in the semi's.

The task is to predict the four semi finalist and which team will beat which other team in the final.

QF matchups:
Real Madrid vs. Tottenham
Barcelona vs. Shakhtar
Internazionale vs. Schalke 04
Chelsea vs. Manchester Utd

(hence, there can be a Real Madrid - Barcelona clash in the semi's.
Alternatively there can also be an all London final at Wembley.)

My own prediction:
SF: Tottenham, Barcelona, Inter, Manchester Utd
Final: Barcelona beats Manchester Utd

Any update here now that the Final is set?

MIJB#19

05-07-2011, 03:44 PM

Sure, I can do that.

If Manchester United wins the final, Chief Rum have the best score in the final knock-out stages, edging Cards4ever, Northwood_DK and Ronnie Dobbs2 by a single point (29 points vs 28 points each for the threesome).
If Barcelona wins the final, Cards4ever, Northwood_DK and Ronnie Dobbs2 will have the best score in the final knock-out stages, beating Chief Rum by 4 points (40 points for the threesome vs 36 points for Chief Rum).

For the overall standings, the 2010/2011 predicition competition championship appears to have been decided already, even with the final yet to be played: it's Ronnie Dobbs2! Second place is also settled, as it will go to Northwood_DK. In third we have Chief Rum, who will tie for second if Manchester United wins the final.

Projected overall standings if Barcelona wins:
79 Ronnie Dobbs2
77 Northwood_DK
72 Chief Rum
70 Cards4ever
65 dacman

Projected overall standings if Manchester United wins:
67 Ronnie Dobbs2
65 Northwood_DK
65 Chief Rum
59 Scholes
58 Cards4ever
58 dacman

Complete standings will follow after the final.
