RULES: SOCCER

Q1 English Premier League
The EPL is comprised of 20 teams; these teams have been seeded and you must select five teams totaling no more than 30 seed points. The EPL season is a home-and-home round robin; each team will play 38 games. There are no playoffs altho several teams will receive berths in the UEFA Champions League or the Europa League at the conclusion of the season. Furthermore, 3 teams will be relegated to the EFL Championship.

Your five teams will earn points as follows:
...3 points for every EPL* win
...1 point for every EPL* draw
..20 point bonus for the champion
..12 point bonus for a group stage berth** in the 2028 UEFA Champions League
...8 point bonus for a group stage berth** in the 2028 Europa League
..10 point penalty for any team that is relegated

* During the EPL season, teams will play friendlies and in tournaments; points are not awarded for those wins/draws

** Points are only awarded for a group stage berth in either the UCL or UEL (a qualifying round berth earns no points)

Picks are not due until after each team plays one game, exact date TBD

Q2 UEFA Champions League Knockouts
16 teams remain in the Champions League. They've been bracketed and in an effort to boost their frequent flyer miles, they will play home and home series each leg (except the championship is a single game at mostly neutral site Budapest). We've seeded them, you must pick 4 totaling 27 seed points max.

Your 4 teams will earn points as follows:
...5pts: Game Victory*
...1pt: Game Tie
...3pts: Round Advance*
...5pts: Semifinal Berth
...7pts: Finals Berth
..15pts: Championship

Note that teams will play 2 games vs the same opponent in each of the first three rounds and our scoring reflects the difference between game results and round results.

* The Championship game does count as a game victory, but does not count as a round advance.

Picks will lock at the first knockout kickoff: Tue Mar10 ~945a Pacific
