I am correct that snowy hands out 2 points for submitting the correct format? Odd that I only get 2 points from this game, yet I named both goal scorers in each correct half naming Baldock’s goal at 75 mins and scored on 74. Go figure?

2 Points for correct format
2 Points for part-early posting
1 Points for goal-scorer
0 Points for HT Score
Less
-3 Points for FT score (most extreme/wrong)

But you should have got an extra point for goalscorer, correct half

LOL ... then why do we bother naming a scorer other than the first goal scorer.

[Oilroyal]

My point is this Snowy

(I’m not picking on Horsham Royal just the first of many examples I could use).

Horsham predicted
Reading to be losing at H/T
Reading to lose at F/T
And Predicted Puscas as the only Reading player to score in the second half

2-0 HT -- 2-1 FT ---------- 12 QPR ---------- 75 Puscas ---------- Horsham Royal

For this way off and incorrect prediction snowy gives 8 points

I predict a Reading goal each half
Predict the correct Reading goal scorer in the first half
The correct Reading goal scorer in the second half within 60 seconds

and get 3 points…

My predition
0-1 HT -- 0-2 FT ---------- 22 Puscas ---------- 75 Baldock ---------- OilRoyal

Snowny get yourself off to the EU Parliament … they’d welcome you with open arms mate

If you paid the SLIGHTEST attention....!

The two scorers are often the same man and time.

First column is First Scorer (whichever team)
Next is First READING Scorer.

So if Puscas is first predicted scorer in 28th minute you will see

28 Puscas ---------- 28 Puscas

or we get

28 QPR 33 Puscas



We also predict the sequence of goals in the (HIGHLY) unlikely possibility
of people getting the first scorer and subsequent scorers in the correct order.

I can only remember someone getting that right once -- in three seasons

Snowny get yourself off to the EU Parliament … they’d welcome you with open arms mate

Horsham got 6 points merely for turning up (available to all)

4 Points for early posting and 2 for correct format

He got 1 point for correctly predicting First Team to Score (6+1 = 7)

And one more point for naming the correct first Reading scorer (6+1+1 = 8 )

Punters get 1 for naming the correct First reading Scorer, and extra 1 if you get the correct half, loads points if you get the correct scorer AND time, and the HT or FT result (depending on time of first goal)


Oil Royal, you got 4, not 6 so was either posted after midnight or incorrect format, +2 for the scorer (correct half)
BUT THEN YOU SCORED -3 FOR THE FULL-TIME, MOST-EXTREME (INCORRECT) PREDICITION (6-3 = 3)

Barry White
John Smith
Simon's Church
Ever Hopeful
Oil Royal
Lower West ALL got zapped with -3

What amuses me, every match is that you can GUARANTEE 6 points by

Posting before midnight
Using standard format
Not being an outlier prediction (so always avoiding -3)

DOING THIS, exactly this for the rest of the season, never getting a HT result or FT result or scorer correct would put people on AT LEAST another 180 points, just for posting.

But people post late, or change their predictions after the team announced (6 becomes 4), pointedly refuse to use the standard format (another 2 lost)

The top- predicting Nobbers are barely averaging 6-7 points per game!!

[Snowball]

My point is this Snowy


And (Horsham) Predicted Puscas as the only Reading player to score in the second half

WRONG

"Horsham predicted the first Reading Player to Score" for which he received a single point.

(Would have been two if Puscas had score the first RDG goal in the second half )

I predict a Reading goal each half

IRRELEVANT We don't award points for second scorer

Predict(ed) the correct Reading goal scorer in the first half

For which you got the correct 2points

The correct Reading goal scorer in the second half within 60 seconds

IRRELEVANT We don't award points for second scorer

and get 3 points…

Yes, the exact correct, perfectly right, precise, exact, on-the-mark total of points by the published and oft-repeated rules.

My prediction

0-1 HT -- 0-2 FT ---------- 22 Puscas ---------- 75 Baldock ---------- OilRoyal

So you were late posting, got the HT and FT score completely wrong
and accidentally got something right that we don't give marks for anyway
