    It's a bit late going up this year, volunteers for Round 1 get your name in quick!

    During the biggest competitions there is a lot of interest from posters to write previews for the matches. To make it fair anyone can write up these previews but to avoid confusion or multiple match threads we are offering a way that posters can put their name down against certain games to write a preview for.
    • First come, first serve. We'll accept requests every Monday for the round matches of the following weekend.
    • If you've already done a preview for a particular country you cannot do one again, unless there is nobody else willing/wanting to do one (we'll give the opportunity to re-do another write-up after teams announced)*
    • If you cannot do the write up/preview we will offer it to the next person who requested - if the preview thread is not done 24 hours prior to kick off we will hand it over to the next requester.
    • Anyone can start a build up thread or any game, any time. These threads will be locked once a preview thread is posted.

    * Just a note, the reason we do this is to avoid confusion and also give everyone the opportunity to write preview.

    So with that, here is the fixture list. Post your match of choice below and we'll put your name against the game.

    As the women's match is on the tele on Saturday, would there be interest for a thread? If so, will volunteer to do a preview.

    I know it's important that errlloyd makes the walk of shame but should this thread not be unstuck by now?
