No Brexit for Euros, but are Youexit in pool?

Only the Scots not at the party.
Wow, crazy that Great Britain will no longer be a part of the European Union.  But they can take solace that except for Scotland, who didn't qualify for the Euros and almost voted to secede from Great Britain a couple years ago, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland are still alive in Euro 2016.  And might as well get Ireland in there as well.  Just those Scots...

So Brexit happened, but did Youexit happen?  With 27 entries and a more wide open Euro than usual, only one single entry has been eliminated (unofficially, haven't had the time to thoroughly verify as it took many hours to run the simulation) -- Cheesy Grits FC.  Alas, his France over Spain final was a popular one (5 did this) which meant not a lot of points to pick up to try to move from 25th place.

You will also notice there is a "Possibilities" option in the top menu now.  There were 32,768 possible outcomes and this link will let you know how many of those you could win the pool and how many you could win money (finish top 4).  JBueno, with a 5 point lead, has the best shot at winning money (80.3%) and the pool (47.3%).  Four others (BigRedMessi2, Big Blue Game of Two Halves, Jurpa FC) have at least a 35% to win money.  21 of 27 can still win the pool.
