4. A reminder email for the next round will be sent out mid-week to

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.

any web site users have forgotten to tip and send them the default away game
tips.

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

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 from each nominated round will be the tipster with the
most outright tip points in addition to being the closest to the winning margin
of the "game of the week". If there is more than one winner per group
in a given nominated round, 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.

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"

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
