I put "Rugbyheads" as my company name.

The competition has an "odds-based" scoring system. So you can score more if you haven't picked the favourite.

Cheers.

Yes , Tesrof, good site though I only did NRL this year(Pool 007) but went into WC (Pool 020) last week.
If someone makes a Rugbyheads I'll join you !

I did quite nicely on the first four days, picked Ecuador's win.
My only miss was a draw on day1, so got up to 10th place!

This morning though was a shocker, I picked Togo for an upset, and didn't expect France to draw.

Only 1.37 points today on Brazil, so you probably made up some ground Baz!

Eating my dust , Paul?    Or have you got the pip!

 How do you find other scores on Super Bru , Tesrof . I'm in 020? 

        I'm even trying Currie Cup (024) and NRL (007)!

                    Addiction is catching!          Baz

I wasn't that interested in being mid-table EW.

After I fell out of the top ten, even though I was making mostly solid sensible picks, I decided there was no way I could win the TV with a conservative strategy.

So for the last few rounds I've been going for a lot more upsets and trying to ride a bit of luck. Unfortunately, luck has not been forthcoming.

[Teach]

Humble pie time now EW. You're up to 21st - well done

I obviously should stayed with my conservative initial strategy rather than chasing so many 11 pointers such as Togo.

Have stumbled on a way to read the Leaderboard, Teach , & as I'm less tha 10 points off the lead anyone  above me could win if they pick any outside resulfs that come home!! I think I'd need TWO in the last SEVEN GAMES!!!  ANY HINTS GUYS??? ....especially the Draws at extra time (penalties shoot-outs not included!!!)

PS Thanks for the invite Teach. Now that Italy has won through I'll bet some Ozzies will claim They deserved to win World Cup as they were only 5seconds away from extra time & a man up against the Azzuri!
