2012 Weighted Footy Tips - Year 3

This is the 3rd year I've run this comp. For those who've never played, here are the basic rules.

********

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 12,10,8,6,5,4,3,2,1 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:

GWS vs Gold Coast in Syd
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 12
Coll 10
WB 8
Gold Coast 6
Adel 5
Gee 4
Syd 3
Haw 2
Rich 1

Results are:

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

My points are 12, 0, 8, 6, 5, 4, 0, 0, 0 = 35

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 12-1 in the order it's provided to me.
If you miss your first tip, you forfeit the 12pts but feel free to get the rest of them in.

That'd be gold Moe. Much better than the "bragging rights" I offered up last season.
