Alan Medic Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Not to maxxi. Besides there are only 5 rounds and one of the rules was you must enter all 5. Given the additional entries I asked for comments as to what amendment to the rules might be suitable, and none was forthcoming.Besides there are so many potential points to be won/lost, -40 isn't huge. Also it continues to apply for other non entries. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/9238-rugby-matters/page/15/#findComment-618770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red devil Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm liking your twisted logic, if that's the case I'll have another team, incur a -40pt penalty, and go straight to the top of the scoreboard :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/9238-rugby-matters/page/15/#findComment-618774 Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxxi Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 True but you haven't invented some tortuous Duckworth-lewis system for points either RD - just imagine the cursing and screaming coming from AM's house as he sweats over another Excel sheet.... "Right, well you got the result right but estimated too many points for A and not enough for B and there's no draw bonus and your name begins with an R and it's after 3 o'clock..."

Alan Medic Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I think France pressed the self destruct button too early. England got lucky with a try and France took off their best players.

???? Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 A bit of Irish bias Mr Medic...you really think France gave it away? England not even playing that well were worthy winners. They are hard and shoulders above anything put in front of them so far.
