Pontoon query
« on: September 07, 2009, 11:36:45 AM »

Does anyone know if it's the first team to score 21 goals in a set amount of matches or just the first team to score 21? The reason i ask is that Cambridge have now scored 18 and like it or not it's a possibility they'll score exactly three against us tomorrow night but they will have played 9 games. I have a team in League 1 who have only played six games while The Championship have only played five and The Premier League four!

iirc from the one done a few seasons ago it is whenever they score at least 21, the team you get/pick, any abandoned mathces , lack of matches, strength of opposition etc is all part of the lottery.

I played this in the 70's and if a game was postponed or abandoned the team was awarded two goals. The table was published in the News of the World. I don't know if this still applies as it died off due to lack of interest caused by spot the ball and later the lottery and the vast amount of betting options now available in the bookies and online.

I know they have to score bang on 21,just wondered if there was a set amount of matches to do it in or if it is basically 1st one wins regardless of matches played.
