Ponder about awarded results #26

Some results have been awarded by tournament organizers or whatever. Not actual football match results. Probably 10-20 of these in the database. The score is normally 3-0 and there aren't any goalscorers listed - that's the easiest way to find them.

I wonder if it's appropriate to have them listed next to real results. If the purpose is historic record-keeping, then yes, if it's to calculate teams' strengths, then probably not.

Maybe move them to a separate file? Maybe one day it'll be a good idea to add a comments column?
