Apologies in advance for this silly question, but can someone confirm the scoring method for the Prediction League please?
As I understand it, it looks like it is 5 points for predicting correct team to win, correct score and correct goals scored for both teams.
3 points for predicting correct team to win and accurately predicting their goals scored, but incorrect with the other team's goals scored.
2 points for predicting the correct team to win, but incorrect with both teams goals scored.
0 points for being incorrect on result and goals scored for either team.
If the game is a draw, then 5 points is gained by correct score,and correct goals for both teams.
Have I got this right?

Almost right. It's 2 points for the correct result in terms of winner or draw, 1 bonus point for each team's correct score, and an additional bonus point for getting the exact score.

The full rules, taken from last season's thread...

Now the first prediction thread is up and running I thought it time to post the 2016/17 prediction league thread.

The rules as I see them.

The rules to be the same as last season unless anyone would like to make changes that won’t make my job more complicated. Please submit suggestions ASAP or at the latest by Thursday 4th Aug. to allow discussion.

2 points for correct result (win/draw/lose) then if you predicted the result correctly, 1 point for each teams’ correctly predicted score, plus 1 bonus point if you predicted both teams’ scores correctly.

Incorrect result, no points, even if you get 1 of the teams’ score correct.

Any player who hasn’t made a prediction for 6 consecutive games will be temporarily removed from the table. If they resume making predictions they will be reinstated into the table with all points intact.
All players will appear in the final table at the end of the season.

All league and cup/trophy games count.

Any cup/trophy game that plays extra time/penalties rather than a replay, the score at 90 mins counts.

[Sakhalin Shrimp]

Thanks Keith for unsticking the old and stickying the new thread.

Also thanks for posting the rules, my apologies for not doing so, I should have as there are some new players this season.

About time I had a High five

[MfcChris]

Pablo, copying my prediction every game (4 games in a row now!) isn't going to get you above me!

[black morse]

Pablo, copying my prediction every game (4 games in a row now!) isn't going to get you above me!

He's waiting for you to have a pit stop for new tyres

[Pablo]

Pablo, copying my prediction every game (4 games in a row now!) isn't going to get you above me!

All I can say is " great minds think alike"
Surely you are not taking this prediction league seriously
If we carry on like this people might start to think the winner is either yourself or me.
I'm just grateful that I'm beating my score from last year
