If no answer is given it defaults to 0 #64

When a user forgets to guess for a match, the app defaults to 0 - 0 when in fact the user did not decide on anything. The 0 - 0 should be a deliberate decision, since it's a valid result that can give points.

Hi @bergur , It is a bit tricky to change this since the tournament has started because each user gets the default prediction of 0-0 for all games when he signs up(this was a decision made by us to simplify our code a bit). We have had several people voice their "concerns" about this.

We did 2 things that people were most unhappy with,

  1. If you have never made a prediction(signed up and didn't guess a single game) you will always have 0 points
  2. You get 0 points for all games that finished before you signed up(this was to avoid people signing up and starting with all the 0-0 points).

We are reluctant to change more during the tournament and remove points away from people who are using this "feature", that is to say, assume that if they don't guess they will at least have a chance to get some points for the game.

We do agree that this might have been a mistake on our end and we will revisit this for the next tournament.

Thanks for reporting!
