Rugby World Cup 2011 - New Zealand

[Arcadian]

2 matches, a nice rest when we play against easy (famous last words) opposition, Georgia and Rumania, and back in time for Scotland.

Reminder: -

Round 2 Kicks off tomorrow with Samoa vs Namibia, Tonga vs Canada and Scotland vs Georgia

Randy, Jimbob, Jass still to make picks...

On the subject of being robbed . . . . i seem to be missing a 0.5 bonus score for the Ireland v USA game

On further investigation, Randy & Lindosfan haven't got theirs either

Kalbow, Jass, Big Boy & King Nick were also within the 5pt margin on that game, so maybe need to check to see if they've been short changed too

Is there a procedure to correct our scores?
& will we get compensation? . . . . like 5 pts for me for spotting the error & 1 pt each for the others, sound fair?

I've sent an email......... for which I think I should get say 6 pts

All have indeed been awarded the 0.5 ''Margin Point'' - King Nick was awarded 1.0 Bonus Point for being closest to the actual margin. See below summary: -

The 0.5 MP's were already correctly awarded in the results section, they just weren't added onto the league table scores & they still haven't been. .

That's how i noticed it in the first place.

Maybe I should have made that point clearer?

I just added up your scores and they look OK to me!

Really? i have 10 pts which = 10 correct predictions.
I should have 10.5 , the 0.5 being for the marginal point bonus for the Irish/USA game

D- for your maths homework Oz, . . . . . . must do better!!!

[pharvey]

Allrighty then.....

This should make things clearer - I hope!! It appears that the ''Margin Points'' and ''Grand Slam Points'' (all matches in the round predicted correctly), are included in the first column of the League Table. ''Bonus Points'' (closest to actual margin) are listed separately.

Summarised below, RZR has 8 correct predictions (8 pts), 2 x 0.5 ''Margin Points'' (1 pt) and 1 x ''Grand Slam Point'' (1 pt) - Total Score 10 pts.

There were a total of 8 Pool Games in Round 1.

I on the other hand had 7 correct predictions, missing out on game point and the Grand Slam Point...... because we were BLOODY ROBBED!!

Clear & fully understood now captain

Bit confusing though as to why certain bonus points are not included in the BP column
Add to the fact, i didn't realise i had another 0.5 MP . . . & only just discovered what a grand slam point was !! . . . . must do better & pay more attention!

There were a total of 8 Pool Games in Round 1.

I thought there were 10 . . . . .


So, . . . .my apologies to Ozuncle, you've been upgraded to an A+

Myself? i shall don the hat & sit in the corner for the rest of the day

Have to say though, it is a tad confusing having some bonuses listed separately and others not......

Anyways, best of luck for Round 2 guys - unfortunately it looks like Randy may be struggling this round....... just over an hour to go until the first game and no picks made - uh oh.
