Rules

Simply select 6 countries from the list of 24 countries taking part in the European football championships this summer.

The better your selections perform, the more points they'll score.

Whoever scores the most points wins.

Points are awarded as follows:

Each match your selection wins = 10 points PLUS THEIR RANKING NUMBER

Each match your selection draws = 5 points PLUS HALF THEIR RANKING NUMBER

Each match your selection loses = 0 points

Each goal your selection scores = 1 point

Each clean sheet you selection manages = 3 points

Scoring example, 

If a result is France 4 - 0 Austria

then France scores 10 (win) + 1 (ranking) + 4 (goals) + 3 (clean sheet) = 18 points 

and Austria scores 0 points.

If a result is Czechia 0 - 0 Georgia

then Czechia scores 5 (draw) + 8.5 (half ranking) + 0 (goals) + 3 (clean sheet) = 16.5 points 

and Georgia scores 5 + 12 + 0 + 3 = 20 points

A win is a win is a win, whether it's in normal time, extra time or on penalties.

A goal scored in normal time and extra time counts, but not goals from penalty shoot-outs.

A clean sheet includes extra time.

Here's the catch:

The countries are ranked according to their FIFA ranking and 

YOUR 6 SELECTIONS ACCUMULATED RANKING POINTS MUST BE AT LEAST 50.

Group A : Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland

Group B : Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania

Group C : Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

Group D : Poland, Netherlands, Austria, France

Group E : Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine

Group F : Turkey, Georgia, Portugal, Czechia

In the off-chance that two entries are the same then I'll give the second entrant the option to change their selections.

If two selections end up scoring the same points then a simple tie-breaker will be used as follows:

How many goals will be scored in the competitions's 51 (36+8+4+2+1) games? (includes goals in extra time, but not goals in penalty shoot-outs)

Whoever is closest to the actual goals scored, wins.
