Then I just repeated the same method for fairness going forward.
How it should be from next season is that in freebet ties the H2H questions will be taken into consideration.
I was against rewarding early submissions, but considering we have VAR now I feel that it makes way more sense.
If after H2H duels between tied players we still won't have a winner, it makes sense to award the early submission.
We also don't like to see draws for the freebets, it's so much more work for us as well
So - in short:
- first we check your totals (initially you can get a point for the H2H question only if you're the best in the whole Division)
- then we check H2H questions between the tied players (if you already won a point in that H2H question you can't get another one, of course)
- if it's still a tie after all the H2H questions were analyzed, whoever submitted earlier will be the freebet winner
How does this sound?
I knew that there was one more way besides who posted earlier to settle the freebets if two players end up qith a draw. It took me a while but I managed to find cryptofrka's post about it. I'm not sure does it count from this round, but if it does than we need to calculate our two H2H answers first. I will leave it if it will be needed after the EURO qualification games.
