Oldfield Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) I am just looking at the scoring system on this competition and it seems strange... If you correctly predict that one team will beat another team, it counts for very little - well 2 points. However, if you predict that one team scores x number of goals and they score x number of goals, you can get more points, regardless of the result. Example. Arsenal and Chelsea play and the score is 4-3 (to Arsenal). Person A predicts Arsenal to win 3-2, but only get 2 points even though they almost correctly got the score - I mean it was close. But only 2 points. Person B predicts Chelsea to beat Arsenal 3-0. They get the score totally wrong, the result is a million miles away YET they get 3 points for correctly predicting Chelsea's 3 goals!! Seems unfair that the correct result is almost worthless. Or am I missing something??? Please can someone fill me in on the scoring as it seems skewed. Edited September 4, 2007 by Oldfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 The rules are pretty simple. You DON'T get a point per goal unless its a totally 100% prediction. POINTS SCORING: The points scoring will be as follows 1 point for each correct score 2 points for correct result 2 points for correct scores and result. 1point bonus for each goal scored in an absolute correct prediction (Sorry no extra for a correct 0-0) So a total of 6 points are available plus bonus point per goal. SO IF A MATCH RESULT WAS 3-1. If you predicted 3-0. This would score 1 point for the 3 prediction and 2 points for the result thus you score 3 points. If you predicted 1-1. This would score 1 point for the 1 prediction and no other points thus you score 1 point. If you predicted 3-1. This would score 1 point for the 3 prediction and 1 point for the 1 prediction 2 points for correct result and a further 2 points for correct score thus you score a maximum 6 points. Plus 4 bonus points for each goal scored for a completely correct prediction giving a Total of 10 points. Note: If you predicted 0-0 for a game and the result was 1-0 or 2-0 etc. You score no points. 0 only gets you points in the event of a totally correct score. Hope that clears things up.

How many points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 So what if someone predicts the result to be 2-1? How many points? Depends on the result. If lets say they predict 2-1 and the result is 2-1. They get 9 points. If the score was 3-1 and they predict 2-1. They get 3 points. Why is this so difficult to understand? They get 2 points for the result and and 1 point for the 1 . These are the same rules as last year. Except the 0 rule.(unless an exact prediction.)

Oldfield Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Ok - so if the score was 3-1, and you predict this correctly you get 10 points, but you only get 3 points if you predicted 2-1. (which isn't a bad guess imo) I understand the points scoring system, I just don't understand the weighting. (as in the above example). But it's your game and you're doing a good job, so I'll just keep my mouth shut from now on. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldfield Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I UNDERSTAND THE POINTS SCORING. OK How many times do you want me to say it? I just don't agree/understand the weighting of the points scoring. As I explained above. Am I the only one that thinks this? e.g (again). If you predict a 2-1 win you get 3 points, but if you predict (correctly) 3-1 win you get 10 points. ????????? What's with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brahmburgers Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 regarding the European qualifying for championships next year: Nobody talks about Denmark as they're currently in fourth place within their group. They suffered a hard knock when, near the last gasp of a 3-3 tie with Sweden, a Danish fan ran out on the field and tried to strangle the ref. The ref knocked 3 Danish goals off the score and gave the game to the Swedes. The idiot Danish fan got fined a third of a million bucks. I predict the Danes will go on to qualify. ...and a big hip-hip hurray for the Scots beating France recently! I always root for the underdog.
