Can I miss the 10 pointer tonight and put in the following.

8. West Coast
6. Pies
5. Carlton
4. Cats
3. Hawks
2. Kangaroos
1. Brisbane

If not, happy to take my medicine.
Bloody Auskick.

Shit, same as you moe, Auskick. We get a default point of 1 for Essendon (being favourite) in tonight's game if they happen to win

So if I delete my tips now, and enter again as late, I only drop 1 point on the dons, and the rest slide up for me?

[Banker]

Good pickup Trader... bit of a loophole. Not really fair on the blokes that put their tips in on time is it

As I said, happy to take my medicine.
Happy to lose my 10 pointer, well not happy, but I do understand.

It's a bit like being in footy tip comps where you get the away sides if you dont put them in.
Last week you would have got 7/8, and in my work comp, that was the highest score.

[Banker]

Nah its very different. Trader has submitted his tips, and he has lost 5 points for Essendon losing (ive lost 4... ).

But if he deletes his tips and pretends he never submitted them, then posts his new tips, he can only lose 1 point.


Cant change the rules mid round, but I think it needs to be looked at

[White Line Fever]

I must admit i'm not a fan of the rule.

If you forget you lose 10.

It can be an advatage not to be on time.

Gadj i think you should look at this?

[gadj1976]

To be honest I really don't care what the rules are, as long as it's deemed "fair". Ultimately there isn't a fair way, because if we made it 10, they'd get the favourite on a Friday night. If Essendon 'won' last night, we'd be handing them 10.

I don't think deleting your tips and re-entering them late is in the spirit of the comp, but I understand completely what you mean and take your point.

Although I'm running the comp, I'm open to suggestions about what we do with missed tips. Remembering that last year, we did the 10 point game for the favourite if you missed your tips and people dropped out throughout the year. Although we've changed it to 1 (to stop people dropping out), we still have people dropping out, so I'm happy to reinstate the 10 if it's ok with everyone.

You guys let me know and I'll run with it.

Maybe we make it a 5 or a 6?

[LMA]

Yeah seems a bit unfair, wasn't intentional just luck of the draw. Maybe an average of what others have picked for the bombers might be better recieved.

What about if the favourite wins you get a default of +1 pt if they lose you get a default of -5pts. Pretty fair both sides of the coin I reckon

[Trader]

Gadj, leave it as is for the rest of the year, have a think about it next year. I would go back to the if you miss it you lost your 10, no default tip at all.

Agreed, deleting tips is against the spirit of the comp, otherwise every week you put the friday night fav as your 10, if they win, sweet, if they lose, delete, drop the 1pt and go on with the rest.

Didn't mean to open a can of worms.

Or just ask the missus opinion. They know everything.
