Play-Off Final Predict The Score Competition

[caytonmiller]

yes!

But if you predict 3 and no goals are scored then 0 but if 3 or scored then you get 3.

so on this basis then theres no point putting 0 goals and according to your logic if i put 20 goals and theres 2 scored i get 2 points. or is this a loop hole about to be closed?

If I understand Frog correctly, you get one point for correctly predicting 0 goals in extra time. If you predicted 0 goals, and there are goals scored, you don't get any points.

If you put down that one or more goals will be scored and the outcome is 0 goals, then you don't get any points.

In other words 0 goals as a prediction could be worth a point if it's correct so it's a worthwhile choice in its own right...

The other part of your question still needs to be addressed, though. At the moment it seems that if you think goals are going to be scored then you might as well put down a high number because there is no disincentive not to. Whatever the number scored, they will all then count.

Think Frog needs to opine.

Aye. I get the first bit CT.
Frog if I put 0 goals in extra time and it doesn't go to extra time does that also get 1 point?

No! You only get the point if extra time is played.

On the other part of the confusion. If you predict that there will be three goals scored during extra time and three goals are scored then you get 3 points. No other prediction will score points. Obviously the match won't go to penalties so no one will score points for guessing the right team.
