AFL Tipping Comp with a difference

[gadj1976]

Folks

I've thought about running a comp like this for a while and wondered if anyone else would be interested in partaking.

The rules are pretty simple. Pick your team as per normal - but weight your selection on a 10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1 scale depending on how confident you are that that team will win. If your team wins, you get those points. Your team loses, you get 0.

So for instance, the draw is:

St Kilda vs Freo in Melb
Melb vs Rich in Melb
Coll vs North in Melb
WCE vs Geel in Perth
Adel vs Bris in Adel
Carl vs Syd in Melb
WB vs Port in Melb
Ess vs Haw in Melb

My tips would be

St Kilda 10
Coll 8
WB 6
Adel 5
Gee 4
Syd 3
Haw 2
Rich 1

Results are:

St Kilda, North, WB, Adel, Geel, Carl, Ess and Melb win

My points are 10, 0, 6, 5, 4, 0, 0, 0 = 25

Obviously toward the end of season, when you want to try and pick upsets, they can become worth 10 points, depending on how gutsy you are (or how far behind you are).

Any takers? I'll only do it if I get 10 takers.

Cheers

Wouldn't you just go 10 for all of your tips to maximise your points?
There's no penalty for getting them wrong.
Maybe you should get minus points for getting it wrong.

[Sorry Dude]

Thanks Dutchy

We now have a competition (ie, more than 10) so if you can have a scout about for some prizes that'd be great.
