To help make things interesting, prizes are always on offer whether they be prizes for members of The Old Guildfordians Association only, or intercommunity prizes where our members compete against those from other schools, universities and associations. Rankings are shown by the tipping system, so you can track your success overall and monitor how you compare against mates from your year and house.

Out of a possible 48 games he guessed 45 correct plus the bonus six points for guessing the final winner at the start of the competition (New Zealand). Of John’s three incorrect guesses, one was South Africa’s unexpected loss to Japan, and another was backing Australia in the final (a patriotic selection he made just prior to the game, this was despite his earlier prediction that New Zealand would win). It was an amazing performance and John was a deserving winner.
