Changing the rules (especially resetting the scores) DURING the pool is pretty ridiculous. This is just my two cents, but we all used a strategy. Common scores are still going to be common scores. If you say that we can't pick the same scores over and over, I'm just going to alternate between 3-2 and 4-2 games because I think that's what is going to win. I picked 3-2 scores because I feel as though that is what most games will end up and therefore get me the points needed to win. You want us to guess the scores, and that is exactly what I (and others) did.

That's how I feel at least.


Gonna have to agree eith Cratic on this. The rules should be set before and changing midway through is pretty illogical. Its your pool though so the last word is yours ofc

I think complaining about the rules of a free roll is stupid. I also think this game is dead for next year now.

its lame... it bothers me. it just seems like your hungry for fg and dont even care about playing the game,

as some one that has hosted games that take a lot of effort to score and keep track of, if youre not going to put any effort into it, and ur going to go 2-3 or 3-2 or 3-3 or 2-2 for every game then i just dont want you in my game


I don't see how it means you don't care about the game when you pick what you think are the most logical picks. It's a competitive game and you play to win. Just because I didn't take the time to type out different numbers that doesn't mean I didn't put thought into choosing that way.

That might be the perspective of someone who painstakingly picked different and varying numbers but in the end if I do better it means I was not only smarter in my strategy but more efficient as well. It's asinine to punish people for trying to be strategic. In the end it's all shots in the dark.

Frankly I don't care how it "seems." I'm telling you straight up it was a conscious decision that I felt gave me the best chance to win. If I can't play to win then what's the point of guessing? May as well draw names out of a hat for this game.

I liked Dx's style, these freerolls are way too time consuming.
And 3-2 is a common score.

It has nothing to do with it being time consuming. If I thought it would give me a better chance to win I'd guess every game. It's 100% strategy. Frankly I highly doubt there will be more than a gamestwo a few games ending 2-3 home team wins. This handicaps me from getting five points but minimizes my negatives.

Exactly. It's pure strategy. You want to give yourself the best chances to win, and I thought this was going to give me the best chance. I don't want to pick like 4-1 scores when I don't think the score will end up that way. With the Playoffs the games are presumably going to be close. Likely with a team scoring 2 or 3 goals. That's why I picked what I did.
