Competitions 2012 Carlton Board Knockout Footy Tipping

[GordonBlue]

ANYONE CAN ENTER THIS COMP. THE MORE THE MERRIER

I ran this competition last year and it was very successful, so I've decided to run it again at the request of Aphrodite.

He is a link to last year's thread re this comp: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=803447&highlight=Knockout+Footy+Tipping

Last year's winner Bluesque made it to round 10 to be declared winner, so hopefully this year we can go further than that.

This is how last year's results panned out:

I've put this thread up earlier than normal, to give people enough time to show their interest and enter.

You don't have to place your tip until just before round 1 starts.

I haven't decided on the prize yet, but there will be one. Similar to last year, something Carlton related.

I'll just copy and paste the rules over here again

This is a footy tipping comp with a dif.

Just tip one game for every round for all 23 rounds before the first game of round 1.

Please also tip who you think will finish 9th after round 23.

You will advance to the next round should you get the tip right. Should you get a tip wrong, then you are knocked out of the competition.

A DRAW IS NOT TIPPING A WINNER, HENCE YOU GET KNOCKED OUT!

The last person in the comp wins.

If there is more than one person left and then the following week they all get eliminated (i.e. all get their tips wrong), then they will not get eliminated as there needs to be one person left standing to be heralded the winner. If by round 23 there is still more than one person left (very doubtful but just in case), then the person who's chosen team is closest to 9th place will win.

Restrictions:

-You Cannot tip the same team twice in a row
-You Cannot tip the same team more than 5 times throughout the year
-You Cannot tip against the same team more than 5 times throughout the year

PRIZE:
To Be Confirmed

I would like to restrict it to the Carlton board as it may get too difficult to organise and maintain

Your tips need to be lodge through to myself via PM or email (DO NOT POST YOUR TIPS IN THIS THREAD) before 5:00pm on Saturday 24 March 2012 (It's the Saturday when round 1 begins). Tips lodged after that deadline will not be accepted.

You may change your tips until Saturday 24 March at 5:00pm. After this deadline, you may not change your tips.

An example of how to post your tips:

It really is that simple. You only post your tips ONCE and never have to do them again all year.

Yep. But just to make sure you know. It's only 1 tip per round. So I should only receive 23 tips.

Gordon - sign me up champ. Good effort and thanks.

 

[esoteric]

GB - given GWS, would you consider a rule that you can't tip against the same team more than five times for the year?

That is a really good idea. I will enforce this rule.
