League Name 2013 DS BRITISH LIONS
Pin No : 8037677

Telegraph Fantasy Lions is all about picking the best team of players from the 10 matches on The British & Irish Lions Tour. You will be able to set up two teams, a Tour XV and a Test XV. Both teams must consist of fifteen players and in each of these teams you must also nominate a Star Player.

A team change amnesty shall operate up to the scheduled kick off of the first Tour Series match on Saturday, June 1 and up to the scheduled kick off of the first Test Series match on Saturday, June 22.

Tour Matches - these are the games that the Lions will play that are not against the Australian national rugby team
Test Matches - the three matches against the Australian national rugby team

Your selected players then score points based on their actual performances on the Tour which starts Saturday, June 1, 2013 with the last match being played Saturday, July 6, 2013. The aim is to score as many points as you can and to finish as high up the leaderboard as possible.

Your selected players earn points for appearances, tries, key assists to tries, successful tackles, converting tries and penalties and drop goals. Your players can also lose points – for Sin Bins and red cards and for conceding penalties (see ‘Scoring points’ for full details).

You will be able to see your scores here on the game site shortly after the completion of each match in the series.

Not a fan really of Rugby Union but will give it a go..
Only thing that seems daft is you pick from just the lions team.. so how can anyone fail(only the cappo choices would make any difference surely ? )

You can also score additional points in the competition by playing The Fantasy Lions Match Predictor.

HOW IT WORKS
Managers make four match predictions to four questions which are made available before the scheduled kick off of each match in both the Tour Series and the Test Series.

Once predictions for each match are submitted they cannot be changed. All four predictor questions must be answered to complete a submission. Incomplete predictions will be void.

Each correct answer will score you 3pts in the Competition. A total of 12pts is additionally available for each match predictor and an additional 120pts in the Competition.

There is no penalty for not making predictions for each match.

Good Luck!

(NOTE: Match predictor will be available 48 hours before the start of each match)
