2018 Six Nations Rugby Office Pools Spreadsheet
We have just released the Rugby Office Pools Spreadsheet for the upcoming Six Nations tournament. Much like the one we created for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, it allows you to organize a sweepstakes in your office covering the tournament.
2020 Six Nations Spreadsheet now available!
Update: See all our latest fun office pool sweepstake spreadsheets for sporting events
Overview on how to use it
- Download from this page
- 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 Features
- Separate templates for the organiser and participants
- Participants predict the round robin matches and then, based on the predicted group standings, the various categories will be predicted (overall, grand slam, triple crown and wooden spoon).
- Organiser updates the master template with all the predictions received from participants.
- The spreadsheet will automatically update the actual scores itself when the tournament is on, direct to the spreadsheet (no need to capture them yourself!)
- The default sweepstake scoring is as follows (you can change them if you wish as the organizer)
