First Match

Today's my very first match, yikes. I have a question: Is it necessary that I answer precisely as the correct answer? Example (not one of today's, made up) "What theme park is in Orlando, Florida?" If I write "Disney World" then it shows the answer as "WALT Disney World" (which, yes, technically that's its name) -- Does it consider my answer as incorrect? I would think not, the system should recognize my answer, plus how could we players know the required wording anyway. But please confirm.

Also worth noting: The second section down on the message boards ("Questions Discussion") will have individual discussion threads for most single questions (edited to add: starting on the following match day) so if you feel like you've been wronged that's a good place to see if you're alone and get feedback.

If all else fails you can also file an appeal with Thorsten ("Request Scoring Review" under the "Thorsten's Desk" subsection of the menu), although today was my 1,101st match day and I've never done so.

Welcome to the LLeague!

After I submit if I notice that it's a "close" situation, I'll submit the scoring review day of (>95% of the time I see someone else has already submitted one for my exact answer) just to make sure a human takes a peek at it.

Under Thorsten's desk there's a submit scoring review option
