It seems I have completely lost the logic of scoring. Why, if I have 11 points plus 33 (for Juventus' goalless draw), am I left with only 20? A 23-point penalty for what? My total penalty is 3x5=15%, but I thought it only applied to the final score, and anyway, I didn't understand the math. I see that most people also have some kind of strange -20-point penalty. Where does that come from? I don't really follow the tournament table because I could say I've already dropped out of the competition, I'm just curious.
Sorry for second reply here. It's crazy how many people are confused in these latter stages haha. This is the same mechanism as last season, but because of the new display, I understand it causes confusion.
1. Please ignore the penalty point calculation in the TOTAL. It is a bug. josue_joker can't be arsed to fix it just yet. I will summarise the bugs once more in OP and hopefully clear things up.
2. Penalty applies to your total score so you are correct: 3x 5 =15% on your total score. Your current matchday score is part of the total...
3. Count all your individual matchday scores and total them, then apply 15%, you will see your total is correct.
So in the end what is my MD8 total?
I see that I scored 44 points. Based on the rules:
4. Points are won if the correct outcome is selected. Points Staked * Odds and added to a Total. The Total is cumulative for all Matchdays.
5. Any player with 0 points won in a single Matchday will incur a 5% penalty to their current Total.
i should only get a penalty on Total, not MD Total.
Theoretically, I see three options:
1. The penalty is subtracted from the overall Total at the end of the competition.
I can't think of a flaw in the calculations here.
2. The penalty is removed from each MD Total.
This is already incorrect, as it requires retrospective calculations: if you received 20 points in MD1 and MD2, but then received a penalty in the later rounds, then you must go back in time and add the penalty to your existing MD1 and MD2 results.
3. The point deduction equal to the Total * penalty is removed from each Total MD.
This is a completely absurd option, and that's how it's currently displayed, but you said to ignore it, ok.
