Summer Tours competition - Predictions. GET YOUR WEEK THREE PREDICTIONS IN!!!

First topic message reminder :

Before you all get too excited, there are no prizes, you win, you tap yourself on the back and you get a world ranking or in this case a 606 ranking.

It is very simple, all you do is you predict the score with the home team first and the away team second. The points system work on a points difference calculation.

So you get no bonus points for predicting the winner, you only get points for accuracy.

Example. SA beat england by 26-15. So they win by 11

There are 4 possible predictions:

your winning margin is bigger, (26-0), your result +15
your winning margin is smaller ( 26-20), your result -6
your picked the other team to win (10-26), your result is -25
you predicted a draw (26-26), your result is -11

The winner is the poster who has the lowest points difference by the end of the competition.

Week one predictions.
Australia vs Scotland
New Zealand vs Ireland
Australia vs Wales
SA vs England
Argentina vs Italy

Week two predictions.
SA Barbarians South vs England
New Zealand vs Ireland
Australia vs Wales
SA vs England
Italy vs Canada
Scotland vs Fiji
Argentina vs France

Week three predictions.
Scotland vs Samoa
SA Barbarians North vs England
New Zealand vs Ireland
Australia vs Wales
SA vs England
Argentina vs France
Italy vs USA

If you join the party too late and miss any predictions, you will get a -50 penalty added to your tally.

Your points are cumulative and the decision of this judge is final, if your see any Summer tour matches I have missed please let me know.

Good luck.


Leaderboard after week two.

Spoiler:

actually i am very confussed by that table dude. Is a minus score good or bad, you have ranked players on certain scores differently..

oh i take it you just havent stuck them in order!

thanks for the explantion(i didnt realise the -50)

mystir, whether you are down by 24 or up by 24 it doesn't matter, it is who is cosest to 0 in your category at the end.

So if you have 4 guys who end up with lets say 12 win points.

They could end up like this

1st -3
2nd 4
3rd -8
4th -34

Very optimistic to say the least. I can understand optimism towards your team through thick and thin but by double NZ's score...

Not a single NH defeat this week. Your confidence looks to be on the rise

My prediction for the extra match:

Brumbies 12 - Wales 32

There are still half of the members who have not made their predictions, you will miss tomorrows game and have a 50 point penalty plus not get a win point.

Hey there biltong, slipping that brumbies v wales game in was a bit naughty, huh?

How's about coming up with a different penalty, not the 50 pt game changer. Only the ABs could come back from that kinda handicap

I missed the first 2...oops! As for the rest:

New Zealand 34-5 Ireland
Australia 21-12 Wales
SA 24-28 England
Italy 18-9 Canada
Scotland 15-10 Fiji
Argentina 12-26 France

I missed the midweek games, but thought I'd throw these up for the craic.

New Zealand 61-18 Ireland
Australia 27-18 Wales
SA 26-15 England
Italy 29-16 Canada
Scotland 27-20 Fiji
Argentina 22-25 France

My first week prediction was right
NH a fair few points and the SH a lot of points.

I stand b my prediction on the second week
NH some points and the SH a ridiculous amount of points.
