I think there will. tp will be announcing the beginning after everyone is on board and the friendlies are played. Hopefully around the Midsummer - a great date to start I'd say.

But it will be announced to be sure - and those not done their predictions and made up their teams will be pushed to do it before we start.

I'll refrain form choosing as well before the friendlies are over. Why not take in all the info you can have on board before making choices?

All those who have made picks / predictions alredy, I think you are free to change any of them until the tournament itself begins.
