Competition Rules
Competition Rules
Please have a read of the titles below to assist you with any
problems you may have in regards to Rules related to the Fielders
Online Tipping Competition.
1. To enter the FIELDERS
Footy Tipping competition, a tipper must register on the FIELDERS
Footy Tipping website accessible via a link from the www.fielders.com.au
home page
2. The FIELDERS Footy Tipping
competition is via the web site only. That is, participation in
the competition is only possible via the FIELDERS Footy Tipping
website. Entries will not be accepted or processed via email,
facsimile telephone, in writing or in any format other than via
the web site.
3. When registering, all compulsory
fields must be completed. The compulsory fields are:
a. Name
b. Email address
c. Occupation
d. Company
e. Contact telephone
f. Address
4. A reminder email for the
next round will be sent out mid-week to help web site users get
their tips in on time.
5. Tipping closes at 1 hour
before the start of play of the first game of the round. This
is usually a Friday evening, but may include any mid-week fixtures.
Tips cannot be changed once the tipping closes for a round.
6. One point is scored for
a result where a website user correctly tips a win or a loss.
Two points are scored for:
a. a correct tip of the "game of the week",
b. a correct tip of a draw
c. a correct tip of the margin
The maximum possible points scored in a situation where the "game
of the week" is a draw is 4 points.
7. Failure to tip during a
week will result in automatic selection of all away games, and
a. 60 points for the margin tip in the AFL "game of the week",
or
b. 30 points for the margin tip in the NRL "game of the week"
Also, the maximum score for the round in which an automatic selection
is made will be 4 correct tips. This means that even if all the
8 away games in a round were correct, the web site user will only
receive 4 points.
Further, if no tips are entered for a total of 8 rounds, it will
be assumed that the tipper is not participating in the competition
and their record will be deleted.
8. Default tip notice: once
tipping closes, the server will check to see whether any web site
users have forgotten to tip and send them the default away game
tips.
9. Late entry: 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.
10. Results will be published
as soon as the results of all fixtures have been added to the
site. Normally, this will be by 10am Australian Eastern Standard
time on the Monday morning immediately after the round. The website
may be unavailable while results are being processed.
11. The winner each week will
be the tipster with the most outright tip points plus being closest
to the winning margin of the "game of the week". If
there is more than one winner per group in a given week, a random
draw will decide the winner.
12. The "game of the
week" will be selected by the FIELDERS Online footy tipping
management team and nominated at the start of the season.
13. Unless otherwise stated,
web site users are predicting the results after any extra-time
or over-time is played if applicable.
14. The overall winner will
be the web site user with the highest total number of correct
tips at the end of the competition(s) minor round. If there is
more than one winner, the best cumulative "game of the week"
margin tips across the minor round will decide the winner.
15. In the event of a tie,
where a clear winner cannot be determined by the aforementioned
methods, a random draw will be conducted to determine a clear
winner.
