Man in a field wearing baseball boots - dream on

Post by Boogie »

Positivity wins prizes (mostly)...

1. Will Oxford win? If you say yes and you are right 10 points. If you say no and you are right 1 point. If you say no and you are wrong -5 points.

2. How many will Oxford score? 0=1 point 1=2 points 2=3 points 3=4 points 4=8 points 5 or more = 10 points

3. How many Oxford corners in the match? 1 point for each corner within your total and 10 points for getting the total right. -1 point for each corner not awarded which is higher than your total.

4. Will we score from a penalty (question only valid if penalty awarded) Yes = 10 points. No = 5 points. If you say No and we score -10 points.

TB. Where will Oxford be in the League 2 table after the match? 2 points for every place above 10th that you correctly forecast. 10 points if you are right. For every place you fall short -5 points. If you say lower than 10th, then 5 points if you forecast the correct place and 1 point for every place below 10th within the range. If you say 10th and you are right you get 5 points.

Results heavily swayed by the scoring of the penalty and the lack of corners (going on BBC).

Mooro 9
Geoff 8
Hoglette 7
Radley Rambler 7
Joepoolman 5
Boogie 4
Sideshow Rob 4
Ancient Colin -8
Hog -10

Apologies to Radley Rambler for omitting him from results last night.

Q3: everyone gets 3 (BBC number of corners) points as 3 is within everyone's total but then you lose a point for each corner overstated.

Boogie, can you explain the scoring please, particularly for question 3? Also, I appear to have been omitted!
