Is the key to the event being compelling.

It makes it a unique event in the calendar and I think it contributes a lot to the general feeling where teams both really want to win, and yet also don't really mind losing because it's a bit of fun.

If mods could pin this to advertise that would be appreciated.

Good luck.

New season starts in less than a fortnight.

Would anyone be interested in participating in a Superbru league for the season?

Superbru is a free app where you predict (for rugby) the margin of victory for each match. You gain points for winning and accuracy, both relevant to the score and others within the league; playoffs are worth more points.
