Rugby Union World Cup 2015 - Prediction Competition
Would anybody be interested in taking part in a prediction competition for the Rugby Union World Cup?
The rules are quite straightforward: For each match simply predict the winning margin like so: England v Fiji +10 (You think England are going to win by 10 points) England v Fiji -10 (You think Fiji are going to win by 10 points) England v Fiji 0 (You think the game will end in a draw) The scoring will be as follows: In the group stage. If you get the result right, you score 1 X (points difference between your prediction and the winning margin). If you get the result wrong, you score 3 X points difference. In the quarter final, the ‘multiplication factors’ are 2 and 5 respectively In the semi final, 3 and 8 respectively For the final, 5 and 10 Please note: 3rd place play off will not be included. Please also note: The winner will be the person with the lowest score. Eg: Let’s say England v Fiji has a final score of England 25 v 15 Fiji If you had predicted +30, (expecting England to win by 30), you would have been out by 20 having chosen the right result, so would score 1 X 20 = 20 If you had predicted -3, (expecting Fiji to win by 3), you would be out by 13 and would have chosen the wrong result, so would score 3 X 13 = 39 If you had predicted 0, (expecting a draw), you would be out by 10 and chosen the wrong result, so would score 3 X 10 = 30. Extra time will not count. In addition, there will be the following bonuses: Predict who will finish 3rd in each group. -50 for each correct prediction. Predict the biggest winning margin of the tournament. -100 for the nearest and an additional -100 if spot on. No worries if this doesn’t take off but it might be fun. |

This looks a bit of fun and seems nice and uncomplicated, fair play!

Ireland v Canada +40 South Africa v Japan +35 France v Italy +7 Samoa v USA +9 Wales v Uruguay +60 New Zealand v Argentina +15 3rd Place Group A Wales Group B Samoa Group C Tonga Group D Italy Biggest winning margin: 75 |

There will be a cup competition running concurrently with the main competition. It will start in the next round of fixtures.
I will also introduce bonus points - there will be one prediction to make for each round, starting in the next round of fixtures. The bonus points will count towards both the main competition and the cup competition if everybody is ok with that? If you're not sure what I mean by the above, don't worry, it will become clear in due course. |
