Challenge 38: A New Season
Can you work out how many matches Chelchestpool FC drew last season?
In my town there are two football leagues, containing a total of 39 teams between them.
During a season, every team plays one match against each of the other teams in the same league. Teams are awarded 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and no points for a loss.
