[Prediction Game] Aviva Premiership 11/12 Prediction League

[Getofmeland]

Gentlemen!​

It's the start of the Northern Hemisphere Club Rugby Season and that means the kick off of the Aviva Premiership. As with previous years we are running another TRF Prediction League. Over the next couple of weeks we will be starting the RaboDirect Pro 12, Top 14 and Rugby World Cup Prediction Leagues. The plan is to get as many people as possible to take part in the league, the more people the more fun.

History:
The key to the game is easy... You guess the outcome, number of tries scored and number of points scored. We had some people doing really well and sometimes even getting to scores over 30 points!

I hear you thinking: That's not very interesting if we don't know how to score those points. Well, here is more info about that!

The score:

When predicting, you have 4 different ways to score points. You can guess who wins the match, you can take a shot at predicting how many tries a team scores or what the points are the team will gather. A new feature I tested in the play offs, is being implemented as a permanent addition. You can name 1 player from each team to predict a try scorer!

[TRF_Olyy]

Tuitupou isn't playing

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Oh, I didn't know any other Sale players and he's probably the best player in Sale.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Technically he'd be the best player in Auckland, as he went to NZ before the end of pre-season and isn't back yet
