The new code doesn't work.
Whoever is the admin for the old one needs to wait until the option for "Start Scoring on June 7th" appears and then select it. We'll all start at 0.
"6480-1577 is not a valid code to join a league"
OK I guess there are different versions of the same thing. I already had a team but the whole layout was different.
The big problem is UEFA's site. They have two different doors into essentially the same McDonald's-sponsored game.
Trouble is that when I opened this thread, everything was directed towards one version at:
http://en.euro2008fantasy.uefa.com/M/myteam.mc
But here's the kicker. That league is dead in the water. For example, you look at player profiles and they have no "Next Opponent". Matchday 3, which was this weekend, is as far as this train goes. For that game: "Juventuz — Code to join this league: 54647-7731".
So what UEFA did in their infinite wisdom is open up an entirely duplicate instance of the McDonald's-sponsored game at a slightly different URL that they started promoting on their site this past week at:
http://en.fantasy.euro2008.uefa.com/M/myteam.mc
Notice the subtle difference in URLs between the two games. In this instance, it's not exactly identical as the other, because the player uniforms look different (less "blocky"). Player costs are also slightly different. But, most importantly, you'll see things like this in player profiles: "Next opponent: Poland".
For this game/game space, the Juventuz league code
is 6480-1577. (See the attached image.) So gsol, it sounds like you're linking to the other, old game/game space. In fact, as of today, that old game has this line in the header: "This season's game has finished" Lovely.
What it looks like is the first game UEFA promoted for friendlies leading up to the tournament. But there's every indication that this won't continue into the finals/actual tournament, and so you have to create a new league. What bastards.
So my recommendation is that we all play off this second URL at
http://en.fantasy.euro2008.uefa.com/ with Juventuz league code:
6480-1577.
Sorry for the confusion. But UEFA really screwed this up, IMO.
