Semi-final update
With 21, kingcurtley is a point clear of Maldini while scopsm is next on 19.
Though kc may rue choice of Ireland to finish third, his total-tries f/c looks good.
Big Bird, up 11, and ralphyne, also with 18, complete the lead quintet.
But any in top half of table - covered by just five points - could yet take the prize.
As you consider tactics for last two forecasts, here's a reminder of the SCORING
1. Five points are available for each QF, SF and 3rd place match:
- so, earn 5 points for exact result and margin
- lose a point for each margin-range variance
- lose further point for incorrect result
- minimum points per forecast = zero.
For example, if you predict 'SA M', you'll gain:
- full five points if South Africa win by 15 to 21 points
- three points if Ind win by Extra-Large or Tiny margin
- one point if Wales win by Tiny margin; etc
Minimum score for predicting match winner is two.
Points are DOUBLED for WC Final match, ie 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 0.
2. Earn five points for correctly predicting overall champions.
And another five points each for predicting runner-up and third-place.
In each case, lose two points for each positional difference.
For example, if you forecast NZ to be runners-up, you score:
- three points if they are the champions or if they finish third
- one point if they are eliminated in QF.
3. Earn 10 points for predicting exact number of total tries.
Lose a point for each try difference.
Minimum score for any prediction is zero (ie no minus figures).
When two entrants are level on points, initial tie-breaker is total fully correct predictions.
Maximum overall points tally is 70.
Please post [or PM if you wish] both forecasts by 7pm GMT, Fri 30 Oct.
