Scoring system

[Schumi]

You get 2 points for correct result (i.e. home win, draw, away win); 1 point for correct margin (i.e. home win by 2 goals, away win by 1, etc.); 1 point for correct score (i.e. Bohs scoring 3 goals, etc.). That gives 5 points for getting a game score right.

2+1+1=5?

[Schumi]

If you get the score exactly right, you get each team's score correct so you get a point for each (=2) as well as the points for correct result (2) and margin (1). So 2+2+1=5.

Goes to show I should've paid more attention in maths class!

[Risteard]

So if you correctly predict a draw, ya get three points regardless of the goal count?

Yes indeed - this original scoring system has been in use for many years - before Foot.ie even when Eugene ?Montague?, a US based eL fan started it up by email. Anyone know if he participates these days?

Ah memories.

Also originator of the NBS system to allow you to miss a week or two, or start late.
