It's probably too late to start this for round 1, but is there any interest in running this comp again, starting from round 2?

STARTING IN ROUND 2
Anyways, list of rules copied from 2013 thread (Cheers Lensen, view here http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/the-2013-20-challenge.993888/)
1. Start with $20, pick one winner in the AFL each round, rolling over the entire balance each time.
2. Screenshot not required to confirm odds, any bookie can be used, honour system in place given there's no actual prize (except a tasty balance at the end if you don't get knocked out)
3. Minimum win is $1 - therefore, if you start with $20 the minimum odds for your first bet is $1.05. If you get to $100 balance, you can go for $1.01 odds if you like.
4. To clarify rule #3, the minimum win only applies to the bet you make - i.e., if you bet $20 on a $1.05 shot to win $21, and the game is a draw, obviously you will only get $10.50 back and thus have "lost" $9.50 - you are not eliminated as your intention was to win the $1. However, you will continue with only the $10.50.
5. You pick one team per round, head to head. No line/multis etc allowed.
6. Two "winners" - the "blaze of glory" award for whoever gets the highest balance prior to being eliminated, and the "Enduro Man" award for whoever lasts the longest in terms of rounds before being eliminated
7. Two prizes will be awarded. - To be determined later (balmainforever maybe BF subscriptions?)
8. If taking odds from Betfair, please ensure the odds you quote are net of commission
9. Should be common sense but ffs post the bet before the game starts or it doesn't count
10. To clarify #9, you don't need to post your bet before the round starts, but obviously if you post on the Saturday you can't post any bets from earlier in the round for example
11. You can't join after round 2
12. The odds have to be available at a bookmaker you use at the time of posting.
