World Cup Tipsters Competition
As the 2003 Rugby World Cup is fast approaching, we thought that for a bit of fun we would run a World Cup Tipsters Competition.
Basically the aim of the game is to spend £40 virtual pounds on six teams (2 teams from each of 2 groups and one team from each of the other 2 groups) and then watch your teams accumulate points throughout the competition.
Below we have outlined the points scoring system, the cost of buying each of the teams, the rules and details of how to enter the competition.
