Scoring & Tipping Information

This is a guide only, please view full rules of play below.

What you need to know about Tipping

Tips for each game can be entered or edited at any time prior to the nominated game commencement time as published on the site.
Under no circumstances will tips be accepted after a game has commenced.
If tippers do not enter tips for a game, round or join after the season has commenced they will be allocated the default score (see below).
There are no default tips given during finals rounds for any sports.

What you need to know about Tipper Rankings

Tippers will be firstly ranked by their weekly score, where the highest score is the highest rank.
Weekly winners will be determined by the user's weekly score for the round, then by a tippers 'Round Margin' and then by their 'Total Margin'.
End of season winners will be determined by total score, and then by their 'Total Margin' (and if drawn the Round Margin for that round).

What you need to know about Margins

The Margin Tippers are required to enter a winning team plus a margin for one game each round (the number of points team A will beat team B by).

Round (Adjusted Margin)

If you tip the winning Team and their exact winning margin, your 'Round Margin' will equal 0 points/goals (like golf, lower is better).
If you pick the winning team, but not the winning margin, your 'Round Margin' will equal the difference between the actual game margin and the margin you tipped.
If you tip the losing Team, your 'Round Margin' will equal the points/goals difference of the actual game margin PLUS the margin you tipped.

Total (Accumulative Margin)

The 'Total Margin' is the total to date of the Weekly Margins for all rounds in the tipping competition. As with 'Your Margin' the lower your 'Accumulative Margin' is the better ranking you will have.

TIPPING PROMOTIONS

9. To enter any tipping Promotion for any particular Code, a Participant must: 

a. Make a selection of the teams the Participant tips to win and the margin by which they expect the winning team's score to exceed the losing team's score for each specified Margin Game for a nominated Round. Some Codes may allow a draw to be selected, as outlined on the Web Site, in which case the margin tipped for that Match must be zero (0). A margin is required for the Margin Game in each Round as specified on the Web Site.

b. Participants will be allocated the Away Teams for the Code they have indicated as their favourite Code if they fail to do so and be entered into the Promotion.

10. Participants will be allocated one (1) point towards their Score for each correct selection of a Match (or for correctly tipping a draw, if this is permitted at the discretion of the promoter). In the event of a Match in a given Round being drawn (where tipping a draw is not permitted for that Code), cancelled, abandoned, not completed or not played for any reason and/or a Result is not officially declared within three (3) days of the date the Match was originally scheduled to be played, it is treated as a win for both teams competing in that Match for the purposes of calculating each Participants' Score. 

11. A Participant may make or change a tip for a given Match in a Round at any time prior to the scheduled starting time of that Match. 

12. If a Participant does not submit tips for a given Match in a Round, a default Score will be allocated via one of the two following methods depending on the Code, as set out on the Web Site: 

a. For Codes with the Away Team as a default Score, the Participant will have the Away Team nominated as their tip for a Match, and if the Away Team wins that Match the Participant will be awarded one (1) point. In the case where a Participant does not submit a tip for a Margin Game, their margin tipped for that Margin Game will be deemed to be zero (0). If there are no tips received for a Round at all, then all the Away Teams for that Round will be nominated as that Participant's tips but there will be a maximum number of points allocated to the Participant for a given Round, as outlined on the Web Site for that Code. 

b. For Codes without the Away Team as a default Score, the Participant will not receive any points for any Matches or Rounds in which tips are not submitted. 
Should a Participant enter the Promotion after the commencement of any Round or Season, then the Participant will be allocated a default Score in the same manner as if they were a Participant at the commencement of the Season and had failed to enter any tips.

13. In order to determine the results in each Round, Participants will be ranked:

a. firstly by their Score, where the highest Score has the highest rank;

b. then, in the case of a tie, by each Participant's Round Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Round Margin has the highest rank; 

c. then, in the case of a further tie, by each Participant's Accumulative Margin for the Season to date, where the lowest Accumulative Margin has the highest rank; and

d. the, in the case of a further tie, the Participant who first initially registered to participate (either in a current Season or in a previous Season) has the higher rank.

Round rankings will be determined no later than 72 hours after the last Match of the particular Round has ended. 

14. The end of Season rankings for each Code will be determined: 

a. firstly by the Participant's total Score for all Rounds; 

b. then, in the case of a tie, by each Participant's Accumulative Margin for the Season;

c. then, where Participants have identical Scores and identical Accumulative Margins, the Participant with the lowest Round Margin for the last Round within the Season will be ranked highest; and

d. then, in the case of a further tie, the Participant who first initially registered to participate (either in a current Season or in a previous Season) has the higher rank.

End of Season rankings will be determined no later than 72 hours after the final Round of the Season has been completed.
