Points can be awarded for any configurable event, such as a goal, redcard (negatives!), hatricks, clean sheets etc. It also has a predictions section – predict for

In the mid 2000’s I started a cool list of software projects for a group of students I taught. Things that might not have been innovative enough to win a nobel award, but were of interest to me and would challenge someone enough prove software engineering interested them.
