GameScore is not producing the right output

I'm confused, it told me to use str to return the player 1 score and player 2 score. I tried it just like the directions show and how we did it in the class. can someone please scan the code and see what the bug is?

game_str.py 
from game import Game

class GameScore(Game):
    def __str__(self):
        return "Player 1:{}; Player 2:{}".format(self.score, self.score)

you are trying to format with self.score twice. it tells you that self.score is a tuple with both players scores as its elements. you can slice into a tuple just like a list or string, with the [].
