Tip the Score
Our new tipping system brings a greater level of skill and excitement to a soccer tipping competition.
Instead of your tippers just trying to 'pick a winner' for each match they will need to enter what they think the actual score for each match will be. You can then allocate points to them depending on how they go ie correct team score, correctly picking the home winner/ away winner or draw, correct winning margin between the teams as well as other options.
The points that will be awarded are based on how accurately they predict the outcome and the scores of each game. They are awarded points for getting the outcome correct and then additional points depending on how accurate their score prediction is.
The best way to explain is to use some examples. Let's assume the points system for your competition is in the first column in the table. Across the top of the table are 6 example predictions together with example results. The scores that each prediction would get are listed in the columns.

* Correct Score difference takes your selection into account, so if you predict 1-0 and the result is 0-1 you do NOT get the points for correct difference.
