1) Each week you will be asked to predict the scores from that weekend's games. All predictions must be made before the start of the games.

2) You will be get points depending on how close you are to the actual score. Points will be awarded in the following way:-
- You will get 20 points for getting the correct match outcome.
- You will get 10 points for getting a teams score correct.
- You will lose one of those 10 points for every point you are away from a teams score. Therefore you must be with 10 points of a teams score to gain points.
- If you get a match score spot on you will be awarded with double points. So if the correctly predict a match's score you will receive a maximum 80 points.

Example:-
Your prediction - Ireland 17-31 Wales
Actual result - Ireland 25-31 Wales
Your score 32 points

You would receive 20 points for correctly predicting Wales to win. As you were 8 points off Ireland's score you get 2 points for that and another 10 points for getting Wales' score spot on.

South Africa has made wholesale changes to their team playing Canada, I suspect it will be a rusty team, doubt the score would be big.

by **RDW** Thu 10 Oct 2019, 11:36 am

This is an outrage - it's unfair for the cancelled games to affect the final result. I could have topped the table due to those games!

Run

by SecretFly Thu 10 Oct 2019, 12:48 pm

Italy holding NZ to no score is impressive! SA was obviously just an off day for them

by hugehandoff Thu 10 Oct 2019, 3:23 pm

Round 3 results for you all. Up to and including Fra V Tonga. No major upsets so a tighter grouping this time. And we have had a few fallers who did not submit their scores......this is a marathon so well done for staying the course!

Congrats 7.5......top job!

Robbo227 staying strong......congrats again. A definite good lead opened up, but if anyone gets lucky with a perfect prediction then things can change. Still plenty of matches to go.

ha ha, overall, I'd say they are reflective of how the matches have gone, though I would probably push the NZ Ire margin out a few and bring the SA Japan one in a bit.
That's without checking what I put... Laugh

Hoping for a perfect score. Had a horrible last round - went for Scotland and the US, and went for big scores in other games - and after missing the first game it's left me in no man's land by the looks of things. Only a couple of perfect scores gives me a shot at the top places.
