The places/prizes will be decided according to the final points tally. In the event of a tie the prizes will be shared equally. - Points will be allocated to each correct selection when, in the nature of the event, a tie is not resolved. (eg In golf 1st place is decided by a playoff but 2nd is not). - The Super Rugby now comprises 18 teams, including a team from each of Argentina and Japan, and has adopted a Top 8 format. I should clarify that the “semi-finalists” will be those actually playing the semi-finals (ie the last four standing rather than the four “conference” winners).
