2011 AFL Weighted Football Tipping Competition - Round 1

[gadj1976]

Just to recap...

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).

******************

General rules

Try and get your tips in by 6pm of the day of the first game of the round
If you do not put the 'value' against your tips - I'll allocate it 10-1 in the order it's provided to me.
If you miss your first tip, you forfeit the 10pts but feel free to get the rest of them in.
Don't copy sapaul's '10' tip (joking sapaul!)

Out of interest, what happens in a tie, is it half points?
Can I nominate the bye team as my 10 and take a guaranteed 5? lol
