But if it's just winning team and margin, that means we have no possible method of predicting a draw. I mean, you could at a pinch say the winning margin is predicted to be nil, but if we are obliged to post the winning team, then that wouldn't help in the case of the draw, as there is no winner. Surely this is a major flaw in the said procedure? I am going to immediately write a strong letter to Sepp Blatter, who simply should never have allowed this to happen.

Also, if you predict winning team and margin, you get the 5 points, but does that mean you score 6 points, or is your 1 point for predicting the winning team in those circumstances cruelly extinguished, and so really you are only getting 4 for predicting the correct margin?

These are my preliminary concerns. There may be more, depending if I win or not.

Also, we need a tiebreaker tiebreaker for cases such as the above, where Bullseye has blatantly copied my tiebreaker answer of 250.

I may be paraphrasing but I think if FA had asked these questions of FA, he would have proclaimed "Strewth its like herding cats". I presume you are attempting to gain some sort of vengeance for the piffle people bothered you with when you ran your own competition.

For the sake of clarity, the best solution I can think of for YOU specifically, is that in the event that you believe a draw will take place, you send a fax to me to that effect. I will require you to also purchase me a fax machine.
