[PREDICTION] TRF's Official 2012 Super Rugby Prediction League

[TRF_Ezequiel]

The concept is easy. While we only had 3 ways of scoring points last year, I want to add a 4th which proved to be successful during the play-offs and the RWC-edition: predicting a try-scorer!


Predicting the result (e.g. home win, draw, away win) = 1 point
Predicting a try-scorer = 2 points
Predicting the number of tries for a team = 3 points
Predicting the number of points scored by a team = 5 points

When you guys predict a try scorer, you can predict one per team!

i.e.:

Bulls (2) 23 - 30 (3) Sharks
Hougaard & Lambie

Stormers (4) 38 - 12 (0) Hurricanes
Aplon & no try scorer

You get 2 points if you have the correct try scorer. This is not about which is the first try scorer, just one of the tries. If you predict "No try scorer" like I did in this example in the second match, and no try is scored by that team, it counts as a good prediction and also gets you 2 points.

The points scored in all matches of the round are added up, giving you a total. I will wrap up every round with a summary and a log and we will see who is the 2012 winner of this Prediction League! There is an honorable mention for the person getting the highest score in a single round as well.



This will be the thread where the predictions can be entered. For discussions on the game, please go here:
