The Scoring System
For each game you predict on, you can gain up to 5 points
as follows:
Correct result - 2 points
(ie, you correctly predict a win, lose or draw)
Correct home team score - 1 point
Correct away team score - 1 point
Correct margin of score - 1 point
(only in conjunction with the correct result - if you predict a 2 goal victory
and the team suffers a 2 goal defeat, you don't get any points!)
Example:
Result of a game is 3-1
| Prediction | Points | Explanation |
| 3-1 | 5 | 2 points for correct result, 1 point for home score, 1 point for away score, 1 point for correct margin. |
| 3-0 | 3 | 2 points for correct result, 1 point for correct home team score. |
| 4-2 | 3 | 2 points for correct result, 1 point for correct margin (2 goals). |
| 2-0 | 2 | 2 points for correct result. |
| 0-1 | 1 | 1 point for correct away score. |
| 3-3 | 1 | 1 point for correct home score. |
