Replying To Tacaí Liatroma: "24 points to me by my calculations :O" Good man you are yourself! Whenever I associate 24 points with Leitrim, it is usually a 24 point defeat. But in fairness, they're motoring well so far in 2024, as are Leitrim hurlers. But the big guns like NY are waiting in the long grass...!

This week's scores. As always check yours. If you have a zero it's because I could not find your week 2 predictions posted. Let me know if I've overlooked you, apologies if so. But I think those on 0 may have simply forgotten to post their scores.

Replying To Fkd12: "Sorry Lockjaw I was counting a draw as 5pts" No bother.
Just to reiterate, scoring is as follows:
- predict the winner but with incorrect winning margin = 1 point
- predict a draw = 3 points
- predict the winner with the correct winning margin = 5 points
I know that in terms of probability, predicting a draw in a GAA match is more difficult, and perhaps I should have offered more points for those who predict that event. But it's the way I set up my system at the start and so I've jsut left it at that. Others have suggested to me that I should offer weighted scores, e.g. if you predicted Mayo to win by one point last weekend that should equal 10 points, if you had them to win by 2 points then that should equal 9 points etc etc
A feasible thing to do, but it would mean me having to probably set up a website separate from HS for users to input their scores and some logic in it to auto-calculate week on week. Something I just don't have time to do unfortunately.
Anyways, a weekend off for me this week!
I'll post a separate thread some day next week for Week 3 NFL predictions.
Thanks to all for your participation.
