lfc forum prediction game (previous threads)

[Red_Polo]

I'm perfectly prepared to change the points system if this is the general feeling (damn you RedPolo) and apply it retrospectively, it won't mean that much work for me if we get it sorted now... Or I could just leave as is and apply arbitrary minus points for potential cheats (got ya RedPolo!). I'll put a thread in the competitions forum in a sec for opinions, save cluttering this one anymore

Lol

I deliberately did it in a glaringly obvious way, but even people predicting say 4-1 have an unfair advantage over those predicting 1-0, so I don't think docking people's points if they put in what you might deem unrealistic predictions is the answer. Plus it would mean a lot more work for you. I think making the points gained for correct score higher than it currently is would solve the problem without causing problems applying it to the games already scored on.

[Red_Polo]

Ok, so who thinks that, in the light of RedPolo's flagrant attempt to cheat by predicting the entire team will score, that the current scoring system (5 points for predicting the correct score, 2 for correct result and 1 for each correct scorer) should be changed? Maybe 10 for correct score, 3 for result and 1 for each scorer?

I need to get this sorted before I disappear under a mountain of ever-more complicated spreadsheets

Is the best idea IMO

Although I'd like to point out if I actually wanted to get away with cheating I'd be smart enough to predict something like 4-2 or 5-3 every game, not 8-0
