The Australian Weather Forum 2010 AFL Tipping Competition

Post by Jake Smethurst »

Hello everyone.

Well we are getting closer, ever so slowly, to the next season of Aussie Rules Football. :) A fantastic game, full of entertainment and aussie spirit!!

Because we are slowly approaching the footy season, it had me thinking about tipping. Tipping is a great way to have fun and see how good you are at picking the right teams for the win, and honestly I come nearly last, last year for the family competition. :oops: But despite that, I know many people love to tip, so I have created a competition for us folk here on the Australian Weather Forum. Anyone on this forum, or anyone of your friends that love a nice and friendly, but sometimes competitive competition are welcome to join.

At this stage, it will be running through the following website: http://www.footytips.com.au.

To join, this is what you have to do:

----- You will need to register your details at the appropriate section of the footytips website.
----- Private Message me or email me that you would like to be apart of this fantastic competition.
----- I will send you a code/password within 5-7 days, that needs to be entered into a specific part on the website (will be explained in replied message).
----- Enter tips on a weekly basis.

At this stage, it is only for the AFL season, not the Nab cup, thus there is plenty of time for joining. Regarding prizes, I am not sure if there will be any at this stage, but if anyone has suggestions, please feel free to PM me or say right here in this topic.

Also please remember that Wes (Sniper) has begun a Fantasy Footy team, and more details can be found for that in the Social Soapbox forum.

Thank you heaps guys. :D

This topic will be in the announcement section for a short-while

Just another reminder that the footy season is very fast approaching I encourage all of you (at your own will ;) ) to join the tipping competition that is being run by myself. If you would like to join, please see the top post for instructions!! It's bound to be a fun year!

NB: I may possibly have no internet for a period from the 24th, so it would be good for requests to come in before then. :)

Wes and Jake can I put my tips in here? Whens the cut off time day to put them in prior to each round? Thursday or Friday? Reason I would like to put my tips in here is my private messaging is still playing & I tryed several times to sign up in the footy season link but doesn't work for me so I hope its ok to put my tips in here?

If it's not to late I'd like to join, the website I think gives away teams which means I start on 4, prob 2 or three behind, however I'm still keen.
