Trying to make the prediction league scoring a bit more sensible, I suggest:
=======================================================
For the correct result (win, lose or draw - but the wrong score): 1 pt

For the correct score:
2 pts + the number of goals scored in the match (i.e. 2 pts for correctly predicting 0-0; 7 pts for 3-2)
1 pt for naming the scorer when Town score 1
1 pt for naming 1 correct scorer when Town score 2; 4 points (i.e.doubled) for correctly naming both
1 pt / 2 pts for naming 1 / 2 scorer(s) when Town score 3; 9 pts (i.e. trebled) for correctly naming all three
and so on...
Correctly naming the score and all goalscorers in a 5-4 Town win gets 36 pts (11 for score + 25 for the scorers).
Well it's about as likely as a Lottery win...

For the correct number of Town goals scored (but the wrong score): 1 pt per correct scorer (never doubled/trebled/...)
=====================================================================================

The current scoring scheme is obliging Meza to try and 'moderate' the prediction thread - which isn't fair on him.

The above scheme attempts to offer higher reward to the more unlikely predictions when they come off.
Inevitably, this makes it a bit more complicated.

Not suggesting we change the rules for this season btw...looking ahead.

If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

Sorry to be a pedant but I believe the 4 is in the wrong place.

*In a Stephen Fry voice*

And now it's time for the scores:

Bill came first with a pulsating plus 7
Giles is second with a commendable plus 4
Jenny came a creditable third with minus 6
and Alan, oh Alan, comes last on a lamentable minus 34
