EDF Six Nations Predictor Game (Rugby)

Recommended Posts

To avoid invading the other Rugby threads I've started this one for those who are playing or yet to sign up.

The Pool name is the same as the subject of this thread and the code to enter is 'walkfull'.


The gist of it to predict a winner and winning margin. The 40 group matches are divided into 6 rounds ranging from 5 to 8 games. There is a bonus for getting all the predictions correct in a 'Round'.


You can predict as far in advance as you wish and you will be able to see others predictions once you 'lock' your own.


Round One matches are as follows:


Friday:

England v Fiji


Saturday:

Tonga v Georgia

Ireland v Canada

South Africa v Japan

France v Italy


Sunday:

Samoa v USA

Wales v Uruguay

New Zealand v Argentina

Once you lock your predictions you can see what others have predicted. A prediction not locked will be automatically so at KO.


The Round bonus point (for getting every result correct) may not apply to every round it seems. I will do an update between Rounds as for the most part there is a day or twos gap between each of them. I suggest you at least complete predictions of a Round at a time as the games are coming thick and fast. You can always change them if you don't 'lock' them.


Anyway, I don't want to preach to the converted which may well be the case.


Still time to join too.

I've noticed that more than one entrant failed to register a prediction. The good news for them is the generous organiser's allow 4 such lapses in the group stages and so each has been given a point for yesterday's match. It's not a given though as it's based on what the majority predicted. It also excludes them from any bonus points on offer.

That's of no use to them though RD. It's only used to determine the Bonus point winner for closest to the correct points difference. If a player didn't make a prediction they wouldn't be considered for it. If more than one were equal who did make predictions it would be divided. I agree though that they should be at the bottom of the table.


As it stands Buoy got it exactly right and scored a full bonus point plus 0.25 of a bonus for being withing 5 points. David meanwhile got 0.25 for being 4 points out. If England hadn't scored that last try things would have been so different......for me anyway.


At least I had the consolation of having a small wager on Fiji with a +25 points handicap.

Just to clarify. Opting out of predicting will win you a point for up to 4 matches if the result goes as expected. However you are excluded from the chance of any bonus points including the one for selecting the correct results in a Round where there is a bonus point to be won for getting all correct.


The TDM is a tie-breaker but only as a last resort. The following is an extract from the rules.


"The leaderboard shows the total scores of players taking part in this pool. Where required, ties are broken with tie-breaking rules. Unlike on the Global Leaderboard, Bonus Points (BP) are included here.


Tie-breaking


In the event of points ties on a pool leaderboard, position is allocated on the basis of higher WP total, then higher MP total, then lower TDM. If scores are still tied after these criteria are applied, the players are adjudged to be tied. TDM is Total Distance from Margin: the sum of the differences between a player's margin predictions and the actual margins."

I thought France Italy might have produced a shock but it turns out it was Japan! I did read a preview of the competition that said they were much improved and a has a view decent expats playing for them but wouldnt have thought they could have beaten S Africa. Should be an interesting game against us (Scotland) tomorrow tonight. I think Scotland could do pretty well and might come out as a dark horse in the tournament......but then I think that every six nations and the last World cup!

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
