The best way to play this patch is to play a proper Super 12 tournament. Because of the nature of this patch you will have to print out a draw and record the number of competition points each team gets in each game if you want to do this. It isn't hard - draws for the Super 12 are fairly easy to come by on the internet and I've attached a Super 13 fixture list in this readme folder (12 usual teams plus the Convicts). All you have to do is pick a team that you want to play as during the tournament and play their games. I recommend playing games lasting 20 minutes - it gives you enough time to get 4 tries but only if you're good enough.

Having lots of teams in the Super 12 means that if you want to play a tournament you will also need the computer to generate results for the games that you aren't playing in. To do this you must use the World Cup and the pool selection screen.
Right after you select all the teams that will play as humans in the World Cup it comes up with a screen where you can choose which pools all of the teams go in. To get the computer to generate a result you should replace THE BULLS and FIJI with the two teams you want a result for.
e.g. you want the PC to generate a result for the Reds v the Crusaders. Replace the BULLS and FIJI with the Reds and Crusaders. Click continue once this is done and a result should come up after a couple of clicks. The result has the score and the number of tries scored by both teams on it. From this you can work out how many points each team gets from that match and therefore if you do it for all the games you don't play in you will end up with a points table. This can be a spreadsheet or just a simple tally graph. 
Take the top 4 teams and have a playoff after all rounds are complete and NO REPLAYING GAMES if you miss out on the top 4 or lose a game! Also, don't put the difficulty so low that the game isn't a challenge - you'd be defeating the whole purpose of playing the game.


I play on difficulty level 70% - any higher than that and I find you can't win any of your own rucks. 70% is good for me though - in the last S12 that I played I had 8 wins and 3 losses in the regular season and I was knocked out in the semifinal, so it's still challenging.
