With the Rugby World Cup fever starting to spread across the entire country, we at PDBY have decided to jump onto the bandwagon. This year will be the inaugural PDBY Superbru for the World Cup. So, if you and your friends want to test your rugby prediction skills in an official setting, then just search for ‘PDBY Superbru’ on the official Superbru site or app and join in on the fun. There will also be a Google form to fill in so that we can keep track of which applicants are UP students, as there will be a prize for the champion. If you are still on the fence and need a bit more information, then please read on.
What is Superbru?
Superbru is a free and online predictor site. It hosts various prediction events for various sporting competitions all year round. It is a safe and secure option for sporting fans to compete against each other to see who will have the bragging rights at the end of the season. There is also a fantasy option which offers a good alternative if your preferred sport does not have an official fantasy app.
Why compete?
Well, if the immortal glory of being the greatest rugby predictor on campus is not enough for you, we also have a special prize waiting for the winner. The winner will see themselves have an exclusive interview with the sport section here at PDBY, and the article will be published in the newspaper. That way you will have your name in print for all to see.
How does it work?
It is quite simple. For every game of the World Cup, you will have to predict who wins and by how much before the game starts. From there, three different types of points will be distributed. The first being the win point. This is, if your choice in the victor was correct, then you will secure a single point. The next one is the margin point. If your score prediction falls within five points of the actual score, then you will secure an additional half point. Then finally, the bonus point. If you predict the winner and your margin prediction is the closest in your pool and within 15 points of the actual margin, you secure an additional one point. If multiple people fall within this condition, the point will be divided among all qualifiers to the lowest value of a quarter point.
Safety?
All who apply to join the pool will be verified as official UP students before being approved to participate. This verification will be done daily at 20:00 until the World Cup starts. The banter page will also be monitored for any hate speech and/or unwarranted language. With all the details that need to be submitted before being permitted to participate, any misconduct will be promptly reported. So, you do not have to worry about people taking it too far on the banter page.
Come join in on the fun and see if you have what it takes to be the Superbru Champion of UP.
