 * Hi Antoine
 * i have chosen to make my fantasy game in steps, i.e. i hide all match types except
   the current one. For this euro for example i made visible only the group stage
   and let my friends place their predictions for the group stage only. Now I have
   made visible the next round ‘stage of 16’. Now in the back-end in the matches
   i need to change the name of the team to the correct one, i.e. ‘runner-up group
   B’ to ‘England’. Using ‘England’ in the drop-down selection is the correct way
   of doing so or is this going to screw up player points in the next calculation?
   Do I have to change all the names with the correct ones in the import csv or 
   is this going to delete all current predictions and scores?
    So i would like 
   to know how can i correctly change the team names of the initial import to the
   current correct values. Finally i would like to suggest that a more automatic
   would be really preferred for changing the names of group winners,runner ups 
   and best thirds to the team names. i guess this is in your plans

 * Hi, changing the teams in the matches admin is the correct way to do it. That
   won’t change the previous predictions.
 * An automatic bracket is not in the plans as this would take updates for every
   tournament and for each sport. The rules for best nr 3 for example, were introduced
   in this tournament, are pretty complex and specific for the UEFA championship.
   FIFA world cup works different.

 * Hi Antoine
 * thanx for the answer. However it just came into my mind that i need you help 
   with another question. From this point and on all matches are of the elimination
   kind. One team progresses and the other goes home. But a match might end in draw
   and then extra time and/or penalties are needed to find the winner. So in this
   case how would you come around defining the predictions of the league? Would 
   you insert a bonus question for each match like “who is going to progress to 
   next round”?
 * thanx

 * Hi. That’s totally up to you and depends on what you like best.
 * For my own pool I just stick to the end result excluding penalty shootouts (so
   these could indeed end in a draw). No extra questions linked to these games because
   there is already enough to predict. But I also have about 12 bonus questions 
   that the players had to answer before the tournament started.

 * fair enough, enough said, this is what I also thought. You are the man.
    This
   answer suits me.
