For owls that are superb.

The Bay Owls are first on the board, picking up a 3 point kick. Great effort by The Screech defense at the start of the game.

The Screech receive the kickoff, and return it 35 yards, leaving them in a good starting position for this match.

Coming up with how to assign points in this was tough. It's mainly how it is to balance out if one team just had way more popular owls, I didn't want to end up with a really lopsided score like 80-3 at the end.

Like if you like team B, and team A won most matches, but just by a small margin, the ones you like would still get killed in the scoring, and that didn't sound like fun for those people. So it's a little odd for me to mark a bigger win with a smaller score, but it functions and a kinda second place for the losing side by awarding 3-0 instead of 7-0. That way with the random teams over multiple rounds, one or 2 dud owls won't sink the team as a whole.

I dunno. It's all for fun, and you're all my guinea pigs in coming up with how to play games via social media posts. 😅

No, I think your scoring system is really clever and I'm excited to see how it all plays out. I was just honestly surprised to see the scoring start out so heavily weighted in one direction, and then balance out that much as time went on.

We all love all the owls haha

Yes, they all win in the end!

As much as you guys came to love Flammy, Buffy, and the BFO last time, I hope you can all come up with some new favs this weekend.

That's my goal, to bring awareness to all the 250+ owls so they are stay loved and protected!
