New pool procedure, or carry over, I don't know:

Tie-breaking

If players have the same score total, rank is determined by the higher number of correct match outcomes predicted (right winner or draw regardless of score), then higher number of exact scores, higher number of close scores and finally lower total closeness. Note that it's not your total exact or close points that counts, it is how many instances of exact or close picks you have: so an exact counts as 1, not 3. Players still matching are tied for rank.

Champions League: Format changes planned for 2024 set to be delayed or scrapped

The revolutionary changes to European football planned for 2024 are likely to either be delayed or scrapped.

Uefa was proposing a Champions League containing four groups of eight clubs, as opposed to the current eight groups of four, meaning 14 games, some of which could be played at weekends.

The proposals came after pressure from leagues below the "big five" - England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France.

However, after months of talks, no overall consensus has been reached..........

First round reminder just received.

Making picks for this round is like throwing darts with a blindfold on for the most part.

Thought Spurs were unlucky not to get the win tonight. We were the better team.

Good to read that Kane managed his usual 2 minutes and blasted home another penalty. If they were the better team, imagine what might have happened if they had 11 footballers playing for 90 minutes.

By the sound of it, the whole team were AWOL!!

No, Lost said, "We were the better team."

And good to see you're still not obsessed with Kane...

Anyway, isn't the Rugby World Cup going well?
