Pot Black Predictions
It occurs to me that, with the only scoreline possible being 1-0 or 0-1, that the scoring system should be 1 point for correct winner and 0 points for incorrect winner, full stop.
The reason I had decided to use the normal points system (i.e. correct winner 2 points, because you would be bound to have the correct scoreline) is that this then makes each match worth 2 points, as with all other matches.
This has an effect on the handicap results, based on points scored per match, for those whose predictions do not include Pot Black will have a slightly better average than those who do include Pot Black.
The other possibility is to change to the 1-point system, but exclude the Pot Black from the Seasonlong Handicap.
Let me know what you think.
