A simple to calculate scores for a 6 Nations rugby sweepstake. Read the accompanying blogpost.
See the latest 2015 results.
The 6 Nations is an annual international rugby union competition involving six European sides: England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland and Wales.

I wanted to create a way to quickly calculate and display the results of the sweepstake.
There is an example sheet to print out for participants (table.html). The fixtures are for the 2015 6 Nations' Championship.
After collecting all the entries, the predictions must be to predictions.csv. The index file can be in a browser to view the results.
See the blogpost and the index.html source comments for further details.
- Predict the winning team, score of each team and number of tries for each of the 15 games.
- Predict the final places of the six nations teams in the final table.
- 1 point for the correct winning team of each match.
- 1 point for the correct score of each team in each match.
- 1 point for the correct points difference between the teams in each match.
- 2 points for predicting the total number of tries (including penalty tries) in each match.
- 2 points for every correct place in the final Six Nations table.
- Maximum available points are:
- 6 points for each game;
- 12 points for the final table
- In the event of two people having the same points at the end of the championship, the winner will be decided by the most correct try predictions.
