HOW THE SWEEP WORKS
"SmartSweep" is an opportunity to enter a sweep with a difference. Not just "pick a winner" out of a hat, but use your skills and knowledge of international rugby to pick the match points differential and win higher sweep points. You are invited to join this non-profit sweep and pit your wits and knowledge against all those other hopefuls with a chance for the prize money.
SmartSweep is non-profit, and the prize funds depend on the number of members. So, if you have some friends or colleagues who you feel would be interested in participating as members, please feel free to forward these details to them. The more members, the larger the prize money.
For each of the 48 matches in the Rugby World Cup Tournament, you try to pick the winner and the points differential at Match Full-Time. You can update your selections as the competition unfolds and check how you are doing in the Sweep here on the members' web site.
Sweep Points are awarded on the following basis:
- Winning Team and Points Differential > +/-5 .............. 3 Sweep Points - Winning Team and Points Differential ≤ +/- 5 ............. 5 Sweep Points - Winning Team AND Exact Match Points Differential ...... 7 Sweep Points - Selecting a Drawn Match ...................................... 9 Sweep Points The winner(s) of the Sweep will be the highest Sweep Points scorer(s) after all of the 48 matches of the Rugby World Cup Tournament competition are completed.
CHANGING YOUR SELECTIONS
If you wish to change your selected Points Differentials as you see the form of the tournament develop, you can do so as often as you like, so long as they are received by us before kick-off of the respective matches.
WHAT IT COSTS
