2015 World Cup Rugby Office Pools Spreadsheet
We have just released the Rugby Office Pools Spreadsheet for the upcoming World Cup. Much like the one we created for the 2014 Soccer World Cup, it allows you to organize a sweepstakes in your office covering the group and knock out stages.
Update: See all our latest fun office pool sweepstake spreadsheets for sporting events
Overview on how to use it
- Download it from the store
- Send the input sheet to all the people who want to play
- Ask them to complete it
- Send it back to you
- Copy and Paste the predictions into the master file
- DONE
- Now every time you open the file during the tournament it will automatically update the latest match scores and results and update the sweepstake scores
You can watch a brief video clip of how it works below
Key feature of the spreadsheet is that once it is set up it will automatically pull the scores from the web and update itself. No unnecessary capturing by the organizer.
In terms of the method of scoring points the following is the default but you can change points allocated
