How to play
Everything you need to know. It takes about two minutes.
The game in 30 seconds
Each weekend there are 8 rugby games. Pick the winner of up to 6 of them, after the handicap. Choose one pick as your Best Bet. Score points for every correct pick.
1. What’s a handicap?
The stronger team starts with points taken away, so every game is a fair choice. The handicap always ends in .5, so there’s never a draw.
Bulls −6.5 v Stormers +6.5
- Pick Bulls: they must win by 7 points or more.
- Pick Stormers: you’re right if they win, draw, or lose by 6 points or fewer.
- Final score Bulls 24 – 20 Stormers? Bulls won by 4, so Stormers pickers are correct.
2. Make your picks
Go to My picks and tap the team you think will win. Your pick saves straight away; there’s nothing to submit.
You can pick up to 6 games. Fewer is fine if you join late or miss a game.
Changed your mind? Tap the other team, or tap your pick again to remove it.
3. Choose your Best Bet
Pick the one you’re most sure about and tap Best Bet. If it’s right, it scores double.
4. Watch the deadlines
Each game locks 60 minutes before its kickoff. After that, you can’t change that pick. A Sunday game stays open until Sunday.
Your Best Bet locks with its game. All times are South African time (SAST).
5. How points work
| Correct Best Bet | 2 points |
| Each other correct pick | 1 point |
| Wrong pick | 0 |
| Best possible weekend | 7 points |
Clean sweep: get all 6 picks right and you earn a clean-sweep badge.
6. If a game isn’t played
If a game is postponed, abandoned or cancelled, picks on it score 0 for everyone, and it isn’t replaced.
7. Results and leaderboards
Scores go up as each game finishes. See how you did under Results, and how you compare under Leaderboard, for this week and the whole season.
Points are provisional until every game of the weekend is done.
