 * Hi,
 * Great plugin! However, I’d like to understand how I can modify the score if someone
   doesn’t submit any result.
 *  Can I change the score (currently 0) if the prediction is not entered in “10
   points)?
   If it’s possible, could you tell me which section I need to go to in
   order to modify this parameter?
 * Alternatively, do you happen to have a plugin where it’s possible to assign points
   to different players?

 * If you want to customize how points are calculated, you’ll need to either override
   the `Football_Pool_Pool::calc_score()` method or hook into the calculation process
   using the available actions in the `Football_Pool_Admin_Score_Calculation` class.
   Depending on your goal, you might also need a helper function or a way to define/
   store your custom points setup.
 * There’s an [example on the forum](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-point-score-for-every-phase-what-will-happen/)
   showing how to assign different points based on match types. Instead of using
   match type IDs, you could also apply similar logic based on user IDs.
 * I don’t currently have an example for awarding points to users who didn’t submit
   a prediction. I’m also curious why you’d want that. Are there perhaps alternative
   approaches that could achieve the same goal?

 * Hi, My group of friends and I make predictions every week for Serie A. Sometimes
   someone forgets to make their predictions for the Serie A matchday, so I have
   to ask the secret question to assign 100 points (because we established that 
   those who didn’t make a prediction would be awarded 100 points by default). The
   secret question process is cumbersome. Couldn’t we assign them like the secret
   question, but without the user having to do anything? Or could we just directly
   change the base score for those who don’t make a prediction?

 * For example: This is my website, regarding matchday 37 “**[https://www.trentello.it/pronostici-giornata-37](https://www.trentello.it/pronostici-giornata-37)**/”
   there is the user Capanneontop F.C. (I. Simone) who hasn’t submitted any predictions.
   To assign her a score of 100 points, I had to create a questionnaire. However,
   I would like 100 points to be awarded if someone doesn’t submit any predictions.

 * I don’t see any other options than to create a customization for the plugin if
   you really want this scoring system and don’t want to manually add it every time.
