    Oh, I'm not complaining at all! I knew I would either barely make it or just miss it. Spain hurt me by not advancing, and Italy really hurt my, as I gambled and guessed that they would make the final.

    Yeah I was one of the fools who picked Spain to win it all (over Brazil, so I missed the entire last 128 points) ... I went from #5 to #62

    Congrats to the top 12 and thankfully no one is shut out of a box based on the tiebreaker. I will go through and figure out exact placing tomorrow morning and send out targets. Please get your boxes out within 3 weeks, and keep me and your target updated. Thanks everyone for a great BIF, now let's wrap it up with some quality boxes.

    Congrats everyone! All i know is if i won and had 17 boxes coming to the porch, the fiance would not be too happy, nor would Fedex.

    I'm in for Euro 2016, would there be any interest in an EPL one? maybe fantasy style or something along those lines? Don't think i've seen that around

    Congratulations to all the winners! Even though I didn't even come close to getting a box I sure enjoyed this World Cup! Winning beer would have been nice but the best part was watching as much soccer as I could with my old man. Thanks to @Syracuse12 for doing all the grunt work to make this possible!

    Everyone should have received a message from me. If you did not, or you received 2, please let me know.

    Thanks again everyone!

    Big round of applause to @Syracuse12 for a fun, well run BIF with lightning quick TAT getting out targets. Bravo sir, I look forward to joining another fun BIF with you sometime in the future!

    ESPN actually does a pretty good Fantasy League for the EPL. I was thinking we could do that or 20 people randomly assigned a team and prizes based upon placing in that.

    i've never used the ESPN one but have used premierleague.com, which is easy to use. Players get a value, and you have a bank you can buy them with, its pretty fun but involves paying attention each week and all that.

    Don't forget to post your hauls as they come in, so we can all drool with envy. Also, so I can check the sender off my spreadsheet.

    There are EPL fantasy leagues where you can pick players for your team with a budget. Otherwise we could do an EPL weekly based on guessing score lines

    Thanks again @Syracuse12 for setting this up - it was a blast.

    Congrats to the winners!

    I have been involved with a premier league BIF with other BA's for the past 4 or 5 years. We usually get around 15-20 people involved. We always use http://fantasy.premierleague.com/. Anyone care to run an EPL BIF for the upcoming season? I don't have time but I can share a few ideas on rules/shipments which we have tried in the past.
