[Discussion] TRF's official Rugby World Cup Prediction League

[Thingimubob]

As per usual, I'm leaving it late, but I'm in!

 

[Matthew Coldhill-Smink]

I might join

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Knew I should have had Dagg as predicted try scorer - I thought that I wouldn't as so many people had chosen him :lol:

 

[Thingimubob]

Nonu scored at the end to nab me a few extra points was just hoping they'd score a 7th so Id get the number of tries right

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Winner, 2 try scorers, number of tries for both teams... Nice start!!!!!

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Nonu scored at the end to nab me a few extra points was just hoping they'd score a 7th so Id get the number of tries right

Wow, I was cheering for that Nonu try; I have Nonu as my try scorer as well and ABs at 6 tries so that was worth 5 points!

Winner, 2 try scorers, number of tries for both teams... Nice start!!!!!

Well, done, particularly on picking Taumalolo; genius. I didn't have too bad a start myelf; should have just stayed at 10 points for Tonga T_T

 

[Me 1]

I picked Tonga'uiha to score but the man who replaced him gets it.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

I actually thought Taumalolo started. Only picked him because it sounds like Shongololo, which saffas should know haha. I agree with stormer about the 10 points. Was thinking about that too. Sad to see 2 conversions missed which should have given me 5 for the NZ score haha

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

And 2 more try scorers right! Joe Ansbro and Chrysander Botha! This can turn out into a nice round for me haha. Unfortunately I am not so lucky on picking the no. of tries and points yet

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

And Francois Trinh-Duc!!!

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Hello guys,

It's Ezequiel with the wrap-up of the first round of TRF's Official RWC Prediction League!

It is nice to see so many members signing up and playing along and to be honest I am surprised with the high scores of this first round. With predicting the try-scorers some guys have been incredibly accurate! Seravia scored a total of 20 points with predicting the try-scorers alone! He was very lucky to pick Vereniki Goneva who scored 4 tries, giving him already 8 points.

With predicting the winners a lot of people got all 8 correct but some of you missed 2. Thingimubob and M Two One only got to 6. If the latter managed to predict at least the South African win, his score would have been 21, no need to explain...

Let's have a look at the log after round 1...

[/table]



We see erwanseb who got stuck at 15 points and is holding the wooden spoon for now. He is only 3 points short of climbing up by beating Sneaki who holds 18 points.

When looking at the top of the log, 4 guys managed to score 40+ points. TRF_Ezequiel, he is known to be really cool, is in 3rd with 40 points together with the earlier mentioned Seravia. They both are only a couple of points behind the top2, which contains TRF_Getofmeland with 43 but the winner of round 1, and log leader is............... DAYLIGHTFIRE!!!!!

Congratulations on being top of the log after 1 round and I would like to welcome you guys for round 2, which starts the 14th!!!

[TRF_Olyy]

How come I lost a point?
One table says I have 32, the other 31....It's a fix I tell ya!

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

No, it doesn't

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Editing the tables and lying about it, for shame!

 

[Daylightfire]

Ok I think we should end the comp here,

 

[Seravia]

I would like to add that it was all down to skill.
