PS i recall i put 4 points on a previous guess, is that even possible? If not that would put me at something of a disadvantage :tantrum:.

Hm..6 for a try, 1 for a conversion? or is it 2? or is one of those league not union? 3 for a field goal? no wait thats us football, drop kick is it? so could score 3 or 6 but not 4? Meh, I don't know.

I wish to enter your worst results possible competition please, I feel my credentials have been verified. 

Besides, @msc''s shot himself in the foot at the first hurdle.

 

Edit PPS, I note you are all going for scores in multiples of 5. I must have something wrong, so editing mine so I don't look an utter fool (no giggling at the back).

3 points for a penalty scored

5 points for a try, plus 2 if you convert the penalty you get for scoring one.

 

So the score goes up by 3, 5, or 7 each gain. So yeah, a 4 point win is possible. In fact, I think all leads are possible (not a maths person).

 

I just go by 5 because its the easiest rough scoreline. Later on when the big guns face off in the knockouts its more likely to be decided by 1-4 points at times.

And to answer a previous maths question, all winning margins that are a multiple of 1 are possible, providing the losing team scores 5 or more.

Quite a few missing out by one point.  (Myself included)  I'm thinking of changing the scoring slightly. Maybe introducing a range of + or -5.  Thoughts? Yay or nay.

In rugby the losing side get the bonus point if they lose by less than 7. That could incorporated somehow?
