First order of business... Who is going to win the "all so important" Summer Olympic games?
This logo is awful.

Here are the men's groups:

Group A:
Great Britain
Senegal
United Arab Emirates
Uruguay

Group B:
Mexico
Korea Republic
Gabon
Switzerland

Group C:
Brazil
Egypt
Belarus
New Zealand

Group D:
Spain
Japan
Honduras
Morocco

How should we proceed?  Points for picking the teams that clear the group stages and points for those that pick the top 4?  And to the winner, what be the spoils?  This should obviously be separate of the EPL traveling trophy...

Rules for this round.

To be picked before group stages begin:
Pick group winner and runner up:  2 points for picking the right group winner and 2 points for picking the correct runner up.  1 point for picking a side that gets out of the group stage but you picked the wrong position.

To be picked before knock out round begins:
5 points for picking the correct gold medal winner, 4 points for picking the correct silver metal winner, 3 points for picking the correct bronze metal winner, and 2 points for picking the 4th place loser.  Bonus points for guessing the correct final four sides is 4 points.

To be picked before the final two games:
Tiebreaker.... if for some reason we get to this, picking the correct scores of the gold/silver match and bronze/loser match.
