Rules

Welcome to Footy Tipper!

We are a not for profit competition and all money registered will be paid out as prizes which include:

  • Main Competition (Rounds 1-27) *
  • 2nd Competition (Rounds 18-27) *
  • Weekly Jackpot *
  • [New in 2021] – Separate State of Origin Competition *

Technical Considerations

Footy Tipper utilises Excel spreadsheets and email to run. We are in the process of building an online presence, however to fully appreciate the complex capability of the competition, it is recommended you have a Microsoft Office capable PC.

Competition rules are as follows…

Cut-off Times

Is strictly enforced and all tips need to be submitted before kick-off of the 1st match of each round.

We will only accept tips and changes up until this point of time.

Miss The Cut-off?

You will score the lowest score of the round.

The Standout

This is the defining difference in our Competition.

Each round you are able to nominate one team as a Standout (i.e. the team you think will definitely win).

  • Get it right…  bonus 2 points
  • Get it wrong… minus 2 points

Note: Standouts are optional but you cannot win the Weekly Jackpot without selecting one.

Weekly Jackpot

This will be awarded only if ONE player achieves a perfect round and has selected a Standout.

In the event there is no winner in the final round of the season, the Weekly Jackpot will be randomly drawn.

Scoring

Main Competition

  • Each correct selection will earn you 1 point (wins only as you cannot select draws).
  • A perfect round will score 2 bonus points.
  • Standouts can +/- 2 points depending on the correctness of the result.

The maximum score available is 12 with the minimum -2 (this occurs if all selections and Standout are incorrect).

  • The Differential score is the accumulation of your selected team scores throughout the season. This is to differentiate positions where main scores are equal.

2nd Competition

  • You accumulate the scores of all your selected teams during the final 10 rounds of the competition.

 

Please Note…

  • Any and all disputes will be resolved by a Judiciary panel appointed by the competition.
  • * Prize money and side competitions will depend on the number of players and will be advised at the completion of Round 1.
