 * Hi,
 * For starters, many thanks for this nice plugin! I am currently configuring it
   to use it in our company for the upcoming World Cup in Russia.
 * I have a question about the scoring rules. I think there is something off with
   the following scenario:
    Suppose I predict 3 – 0 on a match and the match ends
   on 3 – 6. This would mean – along to me – that I would receive 8 points: 3 because
   I’ve predicted the correct goals for one team (namely, 3) and 5 extra points 
   because I got the goal difference correct (3 in this case as well). But when 
   I enter this in the system, it only gives me 3 points on this match. Is it a 
   mistake I’m making, or is there something wrong? 🙂
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hi, I think the goal difference has to be in the correct direction, means that
   goal difference (A-B) is taken into account if you predicted the correct winner
   and looser too. In your example you predicted 3-0 and the result is 3-6. So the
   correct winner is not team A, but team B. I think this rule makes sense.
