Might be an idea to post the fixtures mate. But sounds decent.
"First team to score" and "last team to score" are in absolute time or the team to score the earliest/latest goal in that week's fixtures? In other words, Newcastle Chelsea is the early game this week so chances are one of those teams (cough chelsea cough) will score the earliest goal.

Nice. Question 2 and 3 look like they were conceived hurriedly though, as usually you have a first and last fixture in a week, so it becomes a 50% chance.

It's match minutes rather than actual time of day, surely.

The wording and tiebreaker would make you believe otherwise, but you could be right on intention! (and probably are)

If you saw that question randomly, which would you think it meant?
I'm not sure I fully understand what is going on here?

Sorry to be the grump, but wouldn't it be better to just list the fixtures each week and people guess. You can have three points for correct score and one for correct result? It just seems more fun guessing that rather than guessing which team is going to score first, which is purely arbitrary and not fun.

and agree with Ebo that it should just be for the scorelines, getting a correct result and a correct scoreline, first goalscorer etc.

Questions like asking about what the attendance would be seems a bit naff

He's obviously referring to the minute in which a goal is scored. Not sure how there is so much confusion here :dontknow:

If I was asked the same question, I would automatically presume that it was match minutes and that is exact what it is - does it need to made more clear?

For the time being, as we are awarding prizes for these 3 predictions, we aren't going to be adding anything. We just want to see how this goes. But will definitely see where we can go with this, so would appreciate all the feedback you guys can give. If you have any suggestions, then please drop me a PM :smile:

Cheers
