Where? I've never seen or heard of this scoring system being used in continental Europe (not even in the little kids leagues), and it's also not what's used in the professional tournaments (World Cup, Euros, Copa America, Champions League, etc).
- LanceH 3y agoHe's not talking pro leagues, but the kinds of leagues where you make a team and sign up for a weekend tournament. That scoring system is very common.
- smcl 3y agoGP mentioned this though: > not even in the little kids leagues It might just be something that is very common somewhere or at some level (dunno where), but it's pretty alien to the pair of us and would be for most/all of continental Europe at the very least.
- LanceH 3y agoCome to think of it, I haven't seen it since the 90's -- all in the US. But I haven't played weekend tournaments since then.
- dylan604 3y agoToo right. You think if I played, coached, and refereed in a professional league, I'd be spending my time reading HN? ha!
- drowsspa 3y agoIs it? I'm Brazilian and I never heard of it.
- jamiek88 3y agoI’m English and I haven’t either. I’ve also played in UK, Middle East, Spain, France, USA and Canada. From organized leagues to games with mates and pub type tournaments and have never come across that convoluted system.
