Could give people who don't pick a team a default score of -1 instead, then it will be a loss. Problem with this though is that it will benefit those who play against non-picking players the most.
I've gone with the opinion that 0 goals, is the lowest anyone can score when picking a team and to be then awarded a win based on a default opposition would be unfair on those players whose team picks scored 1,2,3 etc goals but actually lost their game? appreciate the flip side of this is that a 'no pick' player does have a chance of 1 point from a 0-0 draw, but also think its unfair to award 3 points to a 'pick' player whose team scored 0 goals. does that make sense?!
I was referring to if someone didn’t pick one question. If I hadn’t picked a team then my team can’t achieve a 0-0.
thanks for that, appreciated im starting to realise why red24/7 was happy for me to take on the league admin, after the cup competition! ive definitely underestimated the work involved!
Some serious training going off ahead of Saturday. I've already done six laps of the kitchen. Back in bed now... knackered.

still a few people left to pick a team before today;s 17:59 deadline....... Also ive decided to change the rules slightly to make it fairer :- If a player fails to pick a team, then they will still get a default 0 goals, but they will now not get a 1 point in the scenario they have a result of 0-0 against another player, they will get a default 0 points instead. Think its fairer for everyone else to not reward a player who doesnt pick a team? Still going with the scenario that a player playing against a 'no pick' team still has to score a goal in order to get a 3 points win though, otherwise they will get 1 point for a 0-0 draw.
Final fixtures for tomorrow :- arabian_ian = bristol c v archey = blackburn BarnsleyBomber = x no team picked x v Bostonwayne = salford Connor = aston villa v Darfield138 = x no team picked x DriffieldRed = reading v Duntpasstome = x no team picked x Eaststand Lower = x no team picked x v granty the red = cambridge grove = walsall v lk311 = exeter Lockie = tranmere v Loko the Tyke = charlton matoakwell = watford v MDG = x no team picked x MexboroughTyke = x no team picked x v nezbfc = accrington NorthernDreamer = blackpool v Old Goat = doncaster Rdo1104 = hull v red24/7 = preston Redhelen = portsmouth v ronnieGlavinsB@stardSon = oxford Sheriff = rochdale v Simon De Montforte = brentford sir ronald = newport v Sprotbrough Red = bournemouth TorontoRed = x no team picked x v Tyke_67 = peterborough upthecolliers = barnsley v Yoyo = man utd Good luck everyone!
