Six Nations Round 3

Well the predictions have started fragmenting a bit this week. No one has any love for Wales and their golf-kart stealing inebriation, but the other games are split predictions as are the jokers.

Me Dec Alex Pease Dave Wales vs France France by 12 France by 12 France by 11 France by 15 France by 5 England vs Ireland Ireland by 5 Ireland by 16 England by 4 Ireland by 9 England by 2 Italy vs Scotland Italy by 4 Scotland by 10 Scotland by 10 Scotland by 10 Scotland by 5

Dec and I have both used our mulligans, jokers this week are:

Alex, Ant and I – France
Dec and Dave – Scotland

Six Nations Round 2 Results

A bit of a shocker this week, and my first wrong prediction in terms of who was gonna win. Ireland were comprehensively spanked. Still, I imagine they can’t feel as bad as the Scots do.

Anyway, the terrible Ireland result has prompted both Dec and I to take our Mulligans. As a result, the standings are:

Position Score 1 -8 Me* 2 -18 Dave 3 -23 Alex 4 -33 Ant 5 -41 Dec*

* Mulligan used

So, Engand foxed everyone by picking up most points, which meant that no one got a joker bonus this week. Dec got hammered for backing the Welsh at Twickenham and three people actually ended the first week in positive points.

New Six Nations

A new round with enhanced rules!

Each person puts £10 in.
Winner takes all.

For each game pick a winner and by how many points.

+5 for the right winner
+10 for the exact right points difference
-1 for each points difference out

e.g. England vs Italy guess England win by 10 points.

If England win 23-13 – +15
If England win 23-12 – +4
If England win 23-15 – +4
If England lose 23-13 – -20

Bonus rules:

1 Mulligan: Once throughout the game you can select a result to ignore. This must be nominated within 2 days of the result and cannot be transferred. E.g. if you selected England to beat Italy by 10 pts and England lost 23-13 you’d normally lose 20 pts. If you select this as your Mulligan, you score zero points.
Weekly Jester: Pick the team you think will get the most points that week. If you’re correct, you get the points that team got.

For example, you pick Ireland

Ireland – France – 30-15
England – Wales – 29-12
Italy – Scotland – 6-3

You would get 30 points. If you picked any other team you would get 0 points.

Winner is the one with the most overall points at the end.
