Keep it simple. Result, score and scorer. With perhaps only a 5 point bonus for a full house. Assume predicting no scorer gets the points too?
I agree with most of the above:
Drop the crowd prediction (even though I got many points from this!);
3 points for result, score, and scorer;
Reduce the bonus to 5 points;
However, if one predicts Rovers will not score, one SHOULD NOT get scorer points - that used to be called "double-dipping"!
I've been travelling over several weeks and it is why you have had no comments from me about what has been going on at the Keepmoat. While I agree to a certain extent with what Hound (I think) said about people wanting to move to a higher level, personally I was disgusted by what GM did - losing many of our better players and then quitting. I'm sure glad Hull did not win on Saturday. That performance by our lads was the first encouragement I've felt in a few weeks.
Micky and Nookie: So far then, the crowd is removed.
The question of scorer points for an nil score leads me to admit that last season I did award 3 scorer points when 0 was successfully predicted.
I knew nothing of “double dipping” until today and have attempted to acquaint myself with the term which is used in Statistics, apparently when you over-ascribe value to a number.
In this context one may predict 0 goals, but you are not actually naming a scorer, so on that basis do not warrant the 3 points. Admittedly you cannot do so, but if you predicted 0 for each game, you could probably collect more points than consistently naming John Marquis as the scorer of the first goal.
However, if you do get the result right, even if you have not named a scorer (because there was none) I believe that this should not also disqualify you from getting the bonus.
Would that be fair?
Getting double points if 26 scores would be good.
That would make a big difference to the points tally
No it should be 26 points if 26 scores!
Donaldo - I agree that the bonus should go to someone who predicts zero for the Rovers and gets the score correct.
How about removing JM from scorer predictions.
Predicting no goals for Rovers now looks like a good bet!
