Lucas 3,827 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) In @Stan Not sure if you agree but I was thinking last year, do you think its time to give a bit more emphasis on those who get bang on scores? If you get a bang on score say of 3-2 and 3pts, then someone gets 2pts by saying 1-0, seems a bit less rewarding. Perhaps the points for a bang on score could go up? I don't know, what do you reckon?

Open to suggestions and if people are willing to have it change, but would need to be clear on what the threshold would be What warrants a bonus for a 'better' bang on score - Any 2-2, 3-3 and any score-draws above; 3-2, 4-3, 5-3, 5-2 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan 18,386 Posted July 12, 2023 Author Administrator Share Posted July 12, 2023 The other thing I was thinking of introducing is a Bonus Question for each game-week - I'd only add this in if there's a majority. If people just want to keep it fixtures only, I'm happy with that. Bonus questions may include questions around yellow cards, red cards, first goal, last goal, total goals etc...

Can only speak for me personally but bonus questions would put me off 100%. Not a fan of that otherwise it kinda takes away the format of it. Kinda like Super 6 really @Stan where you get more rewarded for bang on scores than you do just picking the right results. There was an occasion last season I saw someone have 3 perfect scores, got 9pts and I had 3 results that got me 6pts. Seemed a bit harsh and I thought about it since. Getting a perfect score should be rewarded more. Perhaps 4pts, or could easily just use the Super 6 system of 5pts bang on, 2pts for the result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ 1,918 Posted July 12, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted July 12, 2023 Agree not particularly arsed about bonus questions - not knocking it as a general thing but I like the simplicity of this prediction league and I also quite like the format of the points scoring. I think 3 points for 3-2 and 2 for 1-0 for example is fine because you've got the gist of the game correct even if not the goal tally. I've actually nicked this points format for my own family one this season where we'll predict all 46 results of ours in preseason and then laugh about it after we finish 14th. I'm considering bringing back the tipping game this season. Will run that again if there's interest there - basically you're allocated a hypothetical £10 each week to place on a single or double bet and the league table is less about your frequency of wins but your overall balance, so you can actually win the league by losing the least you also don't have to play every week, as yet again, simply not losing can be king. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer 4 pts for exact; 2 points for result & goal-difference; 1 point for correct score.
