1. Read the rules and terms and conditions.

If you are having trouble with any aspect of the Fielders Footy Tipping website, the first thing to do is read the Rules and the Terms and Conditions documents accessible via the links at the bottom of each page on the web site.

2. How do I enter?

To enter, participants must first complete the online registration at the FIELDERS Footy Tipping web site and be logged in to the site. *** Make sure when you register that you provide a real, working email address that you have access to, and check it often!

3. How do I activate my account?

Once you have registered successfully, you will receive an email with a link to activate you footy tipping account. Click the link or copy and paste it into your browser, go to the activation page and you are up and running!

4. How do I log-in?

Once your account is activated, you may log in to place, view and edit your tips for AFL, NRL or both competitions. To log in, type your username (your email address or your "Nick Name") and password into the appropriate boxes and press the "Log-in" button.

Of course, you must make sure when you register that you provide a real, working email address that you have access to!

6. How do I enter my tips?

To enter your tips, make sure you are logged into the site, and follow the links at the top of the page to the AFL or NRL tipping section. From there choose the round(s) that you wish to place tips for from the pull down box and make your selections, including the margin for the "game of the week".

Notes:
a) you may enter your tips in advance if you wish,
b) you may edit your tips as many times as you like up to the cut-off time,
c) if you forget to enter your tips, you will automatically be given the away teams for that round and your margin selection for the game of the week will be 30 points for NRL and/or 60 points for AFL.

7. What if I want to enter after the competition has started?

Tippers may enter the competition up to the closing time for round 5 picks. Late entrants will be given the accumulated total of the lowest scores recorded during the previous round(s), but not more than 4 points per round.

8. How is the cumulative margin calculated?

We use the difference between the margin you pick and the actual winning margin. The lowest number (or "difference score") is therefore the winner. When you pick the losing team in the "game of the week", the margin is equal to the actual winning margin plus your nominated winning margin for the losing team.

Example:
You pick team A to win by 10 points, but they win by 6 points: your difference score is 10 - 6 = 4.
Alternatively, you pick team A to win by 10 points, but they lose by 6 points: your difference is 10 + 6 = 16.
