the above answer is correct... you get the points back when you pick the best answer for your q or put it to a vote

In the first round\n\nwin - 3 points\ndraw - 1 point\nloss - 0 points\n\nThe next round onwards is the knodk out stage so the points system does not apply

there's another 5...\n\nI think it's a glitch in the site. most questions aren't getting answered for some reason or another, so I don't think you'll get your points back. start answering questions.

For every question you ask, you will lose 5 points. For every question you answer, you get 2 points. For every answer you gave that was chosen as a best answer, you get 10 points, for every answer you rate, you get 1 point. For every question you help someone choose a best answer for, you get 1 point.

You lose 5 points for asking a question, but when you choose the best answer tomorrow, you get 3 points returned.\n\nIf you answer questions, each question you answer gives you 2 points.\n\nSo if you only ask questions and not choose any best answers, you will lose points and you might not be able to post anymore once you reach 0. You start off with 100.\n\nIf you only answer questions, you will slowly gain points. If someone picks your answer as the best answer, thats a whopping 10 points!\n\nYou should always try and ask questions, but at the same time, answer questions...to even things up =)

answer the question that related to your knowledge, good answer chosen will add your point, if no, you still earn 2 points. Go to My Q&A link to check your position, if you reach 250 points you will go to level 2. BTW, thanks for 2 points.

Points aren't everything but this site is really addicting. If you don't want to lose points just don't ask questions unless you really need to know something. I agree that 5 points is too much for asking questions but I don't make the rules. I just play the game :)

If you ask a question, remove a question, or remove an answer, you will not get points. Nevertheless, sometimes it will take a while for you to actually receive the points. I have some that just came and said "you just got a point" and when I look at it, it says it was for something I answered yesterday O.o Don't worry about it. The points shopuld go through eventually =)

First of all, to get the best answers, you should ask this question in the Yahoo! Answers subcategory of Yahoo! Products.\n\nI've been on the site for just over two months. Other top users have been here for a shorter or longer period of time. Most of the time spent on the site is devoted to answering questions well. If there's a subject you know well, stick to it for a while. See if there are any old questions about that subject that you can answer.\n\nOf course, spending excessive amount of time on Yahoo! Answers could negatively affect your personal life, so you may want to consider your priorities before you attempt to reach 40,000 points yourself.

Because you are only on level one and have used up your limit for today.   Try rating and voting for some answers to boost your points score.  If you click on the number of points that you have it will tell you all about point scoring and the levels.

Winning a match gets 3 points.  Drawing a match gets 1 point.  Losing a match does not get any points.  The two teams with the highest points would go to the knock-out round.  If you have two or more teams with the same amount of points, then they look at Goal-For and Goal-Against.  Goal-For's are the goals that a team has got.  Goal-Against's are the goals that a team has received from the opponents.

Want to ask so many more, but the points system is set against that.\n\nWhole thing needs a re-think if you ask me.\n\nAnd that will cost you 5 points.

You lose two points for every question you ask.  Yahoo! gives a new Answers member 100 bonus points to start with, so if you answer a question (two points) for every question you ask, you will stay even.

wait till the morning and your line-up will be fresh you can sub in and out anyone you chose. Change your captain every day as well so you get maximum points and be careful to see who your players are playing. Your bench players points do not get added to your score so be sure to put in all players that are active that day. Good luck

yeah you'll lose 2 points when you ask a question but you'll gain it back when you choose a best answer or call a vote to choose the best answer. by answering a question, you gain two points. if your answer gets chosen as the best answer, you'll gain 10. if you rate someone else's best answer, you'll gain 1 and the person who gets rated gets 1 as well. that's bout all you need to know. cheers.
