Rugby Handicap Competition - Playoffs for R300, R1000 & R500 RWC bet

Thanks to all that entered last weekends Handicap competition powered by Pokerbet - if you don't have an account yet please use this link tinyurl.com/pokerbetgftg

After a dramatic finish Southpaw and I will do battle for the 1st prize of a R3k Rugby World Cup outright bet. Runner Up to get R1k

DHilder, Martin 04 and Mackem will playoff for 3rd and a R500 free bet

10 fixtures will be loaded by Thursday morning covering URC, Super Rugby and possibly Gallagher Prem but this time he rules will be a bit different

Below an example only - using last weeks matches to illustrate

1. Italy +21.5 v Ireland
2. Wales +3.5 v England
3. France -8.5 v Scotland
4. Crusaders -7.5 v Chiefs
5. Waratahs +4.5 v Brumbies
6. Moana Pasifika +1.5 v Fijian Drua
7. Highlanders +7.5 v Blues
8. Reds +2.5 v Hurricanes
9. W Force -4.5 v Rebels
10. Sharks -7.5 v Ulster

Example Entry below:

1. Italy (2)
2. England (4)
3. France(2)
4. Chiefs (3)
5. Brumbies(1)
6. Fijian Drua (1)
7. Highlanders (1)
8. Hurricanes (3)
9. W Force (1)
10. Sharks (2)

Instead of just selecting the handicap winner each entrant will have 1 selection worth 4 points, 2 worth 3, 3 worth 2 points and 4 1 pointers - so a possible 20 points up for grabs

So the key will be to hit the handicaps you fancy most as you will be setting the weighting

Mondo left that game out to keep it to 10 fixtures

Guys any thoughts on this format where games are weighted by you vs all picks effectively counting the same?
