Are the games really only 40 minutes?
No wonder there were so many draws last year.

truefan,

My mistake....typing too fast. 40-minute halves.

Many draws last year due to evenly matched teams. Thanks!

So, based on your point system a tie would earn a team at least 4 points... 3 for the draw and 1 for the shutout or goal scored?

That's correct Delta Dog.

....and a win would earn you at least 7 points.

Like to wager on an over/under?

I believe a win would earn you at least 8 points.
1-0 -- 8 points
2-1 -- 8 points
2-0 -- 9 points
3-1 -- 9 points
3-0 -- 10 points
etc

I can't think of any way to get 7 points under this points system.

That's true too, Coach P.

A win would earn you at least seven points AND at least eight points.

We're both right!

I'm pretty sure you max out at 10 pts per game though.

Correct, of course.

The "etc" was to indicate the many additional combinations of winning scores that could get you 9 or 10 points.

With Cara Woolford, starting center defender who missed the Saturday games at Viking Cup, back in the lineup and everyone healthy, I'd give Eastside a fair chance to show better than 0-3-0. Still depends on how their recovery from last year's graduations is going, but they seem to be improving. They also have enough current/former Premier league defenders on the roster to achieve at least a tie if they wanted to pack it in and play that type of strategy.

Eastside under... but they'll need to bring the "A" game.
