Flag Of Serbia And Montenegro
The flag of Serbia and Montenegro was originally adopted on 27 April 1992 as the flag of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FR Yugoslavia) and was used as such from 1992 to 2006. After the country was renamed to the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro in February 2003 it remained in use as the national flag until the country's dissolution in June 2006. Aside from a different aspect ratio, it is essentially the same flag that used by the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFR Yugoslavia; 1943–1992) but without the red star in the centre, it was similar to an inverted Dutch flag. History The flag of Serbia and Montenegro had its origins in the flag of Yugoslavia used by the Kingdom of Yugoslavia which was later amended by the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia government to display a socialist red star. Following the fall of communism and breakup of Yugoslavia, the remaining republics of Serbia and Montenegro reconstituted the country as the Federal Republic of ...

Three Points For A Win
Three points for a win is a standard used in many sports leagues and group tournaments, especially in association football, in which three points are awarded to the team winning a match, with no points awarded to the losing team. If the game is drawn, each team receives one point. Many leagues and competitions originally awarded two points for a win and one point for a draw, before switching to the three points for a win system. The change is significant in league tables, where teams typically play 30–40 games per season. The system places additional value on wins compared to draws such that teams with a higher number of wins may rank higher in tables than teams with a lower number of wins but more draws. Rationale "Three points for a win" is supposed to encourage more attacking play than "two points for a win", as teams will not settle for a draw if the prospect of gaining two extra points (by playing for a late winning goal) outweighs the prospect of losing one point by ...
