It's so obvious that it's 3. Or are you talking about the playoffs?

Question for Nzol. How many points does someone get in your version of the scoring if they guess the correct score? 3 or 6 (3+2+1)?

This isn't my scoring system. I calculate it according to the rules set by the organizer of the contest, i.e., 3 points for a correct score.

This isn't my scoring method. I calculate it according to the rules set by the organizer of the competition, i.e., -3 points for an accurate score.

I remember that this scoring system for predictions was used in the "Sport-Express" newspaper back in the 90s. Maybe it's still used now; I just haven't seen that newspaper since the last millennium.

Everyone is silent, and I don't understand. Should the score be shown for the main time, or for the entire match including extra time and penalties?

I've already suggested that if you guess the main time separately, it makes sense to give extra points for guessing extra time and/or penalties.

However, if you need to state the final score in the prediction after the match is over, then the suggestion is withdrawn.
