CONCACAF Champions league pool

[Kurosawa]

Since there is now a spot for a canadian team on the new Chapions league I tought it would be interesting to follow the whole thing. This is why I decided to organize a pool to make sure we will really follow the whole thing once the Impact will be out of it.

It will be simple, no need to say the final scores, just who wins (or if it's a draw).

Prelim. round

1 pt per match result and 1 pt for overall winner.

Group stage

1 pt per match result and 1 pt for each correct guess at the position of each team in it's group.

Quaterfinal and Semifinal

2 pts per match result and 2 pts for overall winner.

Final

3 pts per match result and 3 pts for overall winner.


For the Prelim round we will do this all in one shot and you have until august 25 at 23h59 eastern time to enter your choices.

I wonder with EPL opening can we see soccer on Proline betting slips with the Impact Champions league games as part of the choices ?

This doesn't seem to be a hot topic. I would have thought more people would be interested in the birth of the CONCACAF Champions League. Admittedly, I know SFA about the Central American leagues, but I'll take a stab....
