Prediction Game - Warm up!

As I volunteered to set up the prediction league on Superbru, I
thought it best to use one of the upcoming club competitions in
the SH as a way to let people sign up ahead of time to Superbru,
get used to how the site works, picking predictions, etc. I
suggest that you use the same nickname there as here, just to
make it easy.
So, I've set up a pool for the Mitre 10 competition that starts
in just under 4 weeks time Here's the link & details. If you've
any questions or have any issues, let me know. When the
Premiership gets loaded to their site, I'll set up a pool for
that, plus ones for the European Cup competitions. I'm not sure
they'll do one for the Premiership Cup (AngloWelsh as was) or
the Shield (A League) but if they do & people want it, I can do
those too. If there's calls for CAW pools for the
internationals, I can add them in too.
HTML https://www.superbru.com/mitre10cup/pool.php?p=11895722
Pool name: Come All Within - Mitre Cup
Pool code: bornnigh

What is the "Pool code" for? I didn't get asked for it.

I often wonder that as well! I think it's a hangover from the
older system they used to run (SportGuru) that required some
sort of authentication to avoid pools being flooded with
applicants. It's safe to ignore that ;)

OK - I've added this to the menu on the left. As more pools turn
up I'll add them too.

Thanks for putting the link there. I'll announce the pools for
each comp as I can set them up. At the moment, I'm just waiting
on Superbru to launch each competition!

I'm in. You could just have a single pool name that is in lots
of competitions couldn't you?

Yes, but they would still be classed and managed as individual
pools per competition. I'm planning on using the same name for
the pools, but you will need to join each one separately.

I've no real idea how it works, but I'm signed up.
The goal is to predict the results more accurately than anyone
else. Is that right?
In my privacy settings I have chosen to share stuff with "Only
registered Superbru users with whom I've shared a private pool
in a current or past tournament". Is it a private pool that I've
joined?
I signed up as a Waikato supporter, which seems to mean that I'm
in the Come All Within pool, but also in a pool with 141 other
Waikato followers.
Curious to see what happens next.

You just need to predict the result and points margin of each
match within the particular league, you are then awarded points
which are compared to others in the CAW pool, and in your case,
other Waikato followers. The actual score is not important,
which in my opinion, is the main drawback compared to the "old"
CAW prediction league.

Points are awarded in four ways:
A Win Point: Awarded for picking the right winner
A Margin Point: Awarded for picking the margin within 5 points.
In close games you can even pick up a margin point if you pick
the loser, if your prediction was Loser winning by 2 points, and
the actual winner won by less than 3 points (or there was a
draw)
A Grand Slam point: Awarded for getting all the winners right in
a round
Bonus Point: This is a little more complex. A BP is awarded per
game to the person closest to the actual result. If 2 people are
equally close the point is split between them. For 3 people,
they each get 0.33 points, and for 4 or more, it's 0.25pts.
Bonus points apply in each individual pool. So, in your case,
you'll sometimes get a BP or part of one awarded in the CAW
pool, but not in the Waikato pool.
Each round the person in a pool who gets the most points that
round gets awarded a virtual Yellow Cap.
Pool rankings are done based on your accumulated points. If two
or more people are equal in a pool on Points, they are ranked by
who has the lowest TDM (Total Distance Margin) The site keeps
track of all your picks & tallies up how far away from the
actual result you've been across every game in the whole
competition, so the lower that is the better!
Hope that makes sense!
