Droo-ro 2004 - An explanation

OK here it is...

On Sunday Euro 2004 is over...Tim is out of Wimbledon...the Olympics is ok but I can't get excited about it...as for the tour de france, no thanks....the new premiership season is still 45 days away...I need to fill the hole!!

The solution is Droo-ro 2004, the biscuit championship!!

The set up is identical to Euro 2004 but the 16 football teams have been replaced by biscuits. At this point, to prevent any controversy, I'd like to say that all the participants have been verified by "Nice Cup Of Tea And A Sit Down" as actually being biscuits. It is for this reason that Penguins and Wagon Wheels are in but the Jaffa Cake is out...I'm sorry but that's the way the cookie crumbles (Pun intended).

OK so the group stages are as follow:

Group A - HOBNOB, SHORTBREAD, BOURBON, MALTED MILK
Group B - RICH TEA, WAGON WHEEL, FIG ROLL, GARIBALDI
Group C - GINGER NUT, CHOCOLATE DIGESTIVE, PENGUIN, CUSTARD CREAM
Group D - LEMON PUFF, JAMMY DODGER, DIGESTIVE, ABBEY CRUNCH

These groups were drawn at random using a random number generator from www.random.org and were overseen by an independent andrewdicator.

So now what I need from you....Each day I will "post" a match on our beloved blog....all you have to do is log on each day and leave a comment on each post to vote for your preferred winner...I will total up the votes and announce the winner the next day with the next fixture...so, for example, the first fixture of the tournament will be Hobnob v Shortbread on Monday 5th of July so you need to leave a comment picking your favourite of these two. Each biscuit will play the other 3 in their group. Points will be awarded as at Euro 2004...3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw...and these points will decided the final league placings. The top two from each group will go through to the quarter finals.

OK? Please feel free to post any questions....don't forget, it all kicks off on Monday!!
