2011 AFL Weighted Football Tipping Competition
Posted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 1:15 amHey folks, as I committed last year, I'm happy to run the comp again. Details for those that are new to the comp are listed below. Overloaded (winner 2010), don't worry I'm still waiting for my cap and stubby holder too!
I think the only change we made during the year was, if you forgot to pick the Friday night game, you got 0 and the rest of your tips you could only get a maximum of 8 for (ie, you forfeited the right to get 10). Stuff ups/duplication were generally looked at in favour of the tipster but that was on an ad hoc basis.
Anyone want any other changes? Speak now or forever hold your peace.
General rules are below:

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
