Matchday 7: ... Also we should have a vote on the decision in case of a tie. I am a long time lover of the F1 system so I vote for it. It means that in case two people have the same score, the one with the biggest number of the highest points scored wins. As I expressed last time this came up, I am categorically opposed to this system, as, in my opinion it is: a) completely illogical in the context of this competition ie because competitor A gets 10 one week, and 0 the next, this is no way superior to "plodder" competitor B getting a score of 5 over two weeks. (Indeed, it could point to competitor A being somehow extreme, and arguably inferior to "plodder" B.) b) There is a very easy system of introducing a tie-breaking system which still fits within the general philosophy of the competition, viz version b1) we also predict the results of the League Cup and FA Cup finals - and use these as tie breakers if needed version b2) like b1, but based on predicted SCOREs of the finals. Since it's true that b1 above could, possibly STILL lead to a tied result, we could use the BBC "lawro" method, which (as far as I am aware) means you have to predict the final scores of the two fiaals (not just result). If you get the score correct, you get 3 points. if you get the result correct, you get just 1 point. It's true that, in theory, you could STILL get a tied result using this method - but I think the chances of that, over the two finals, would be pretty remote. Finally - what does "F1" method actually mean in this context? It means Formula 1 in my mind. regards, kesterj

Karl, what's your take on this? We have 3 votes for F1 and kester's suggestion. I don't think kes' method is good if, for example, one of the teams in the final is Man City or there is a clear underdog. It wouldn't get us a decision most likely and we would still need to apply the F1 method or something else.

Have we ever had a tie at the end of the season? F1 gets my vote because it is the simplest to manage and from memory we have never had a perfect 10 or a 0 score. Generally we all fall between a 3 and 7, with the odd 8 popping up.

Generally we all fall between a 3 and 7, with the odd 8 popping up. There has not been a tie so far. It has come close a few times. There has not been a 10 out of 10. a few 9s and a lot of 8s
