Eyes not spreadsheets
It's back again, same rules as before:
For getting a correct prediction you get an automatic 5 points, with up to 10 more points available for margin, on a sliding scale (so if you're spot on you get 10 points, but if you're 3 points out you get 7 points etc.)
For example for Japan vs Russia if I predict Japan to win by 25 points and they win by 27 points, I get 5 for the prediction and 8 for the margin.
If you predict a margin of less than 10 points, then you can actually score points even if you get the prediction wrong. For example if you predict say South Africa to beat New Zealand by 3 points and New Zealand win by 6 points, you get 1.
Deadline for each pick is when the game kicks off, but will be putting the fixtures up in blocks of 8 games - results may not come immediately (since I'm away a lot around the start of the Tournament) but will be done as and when I can.
So the first games are (all times are UK times):
