3.7 If you cannot submit you tips on the internet before cutoff time then you can SMS your tips through to me. Please note that you will only be allowed to do this twice per tipper for the season, after that you will have to miss the round.
3.8 A copy of my tips will be sent to a nominated person to confirm and validate my round tips.
4. SCORING:
1 point for every correct tip
2 points for correctly tipping ALL winning teams
1 point for guessing the correct point’s margin
A TOTAL of 12 points can be achievable.
A DRAW will be treated as a Win
WILD CARD - You receive double the points for your combined correct points and bonus points.
The Weekly winner is determined by the most correct tips and closest points margin. This does not include total points gained from using a WILD CARD e.g if you got 7 correct tips and closest points margin, another tipper got 6 correct tips, but used the Double Up and scored 12, you still win the round with the 7 correct tips.
