Hey everyone, what a night it was!
Two upsets, one of which was a truly awesome comeback against one of the best teams in Portugal (Who says Qarabag don't deserve to be here, yeah?).
One match with 8 goals in the second half... but any match where Juventus scores 4 goals should be a shock.
A Spurs gasp over the line featuring one own goal and 8 yellow cards.
Madrid's star RB out after 5 minutes, and then his replacement gets sent off.
I rarely, rarely switch between games during Champs League but I was switching games quite a bit last night!
Yeah, we needed to fix some of that. Should be correct now.
Regarding the leaderboard. The Outcome predictions bit appears to be working well, but we expected that as this system is pretty "mature".
But you're all correct. Scores prediction points are not quite there yet (also, something we knew was going to happen at least for MD1). I mentioned this would happen last night, but don't worry, points are only off about 1 point per match heh. We'll be sure to get it fixed by Friday.
Mind you, there are bonus points in the score prediction to take into account, unlike Superbru. Refer to the
rules linked in OP. For Score Predictions, you have, as in the rules, 3 ways to earn points. Base, and Bonus from Upsets (picking an unlikely outcome) and Bonus from Maverick (picking an unlikely score).
So for the Arsenal game, an upset outcome didn't happen. So Upset points don't apply.
Now for the Base points:
0-2 is Exact score, so you get 4 points.
0-1, 0-3, 1-2, 1-3 are all Close scores, so you get 2 points.
Any other Arsenal win is a Correct score, for 1 point.
The Maverick points:
Scores of 0-1 and 1-3 earned 1 bonus point for being picked by <12% of the pool
Scores of 0-3 earned 1.5 bonus points for being picked by <6% of the pool
=============
Now, we need to explain something. When we did these percentages, we assumed we would get minimum of 40 people, since we've had 50 or more every season. This season, we set a low record of only 35, I should have foreseen something like that but well, I did not =) So we adjusted the % points for Maverick slightly... (from 5% and 10% to 6% and 12%).
Thank you for playing, everyone, we hope you enjoy!
