Crowd tipping comp - First prize: A new Sherrin!

[Mr Ripper]

Would anyone out there in BigFooty Land be interested in going in a 'Guess the Crowds' competition for this season?

I'll even put up a prize of a brand new Sherrin if you need any extra encouragement to enter! ;)

All you'll need to do is post your estimated crowds for each AFL match on BigFooty sometime during the preceding week to which they're played.

-------------------------------------------------------
Rules:

Everyone starts off with 1,000,000 points

One point to be deducted for every 1 the estimate is out by, under or over, in each match.

Bonus points will be added if the estimate is within the following ranges:
101 - 1,000...2,000 bonus points
11 - 1000...20,000 bonus points
1 - 10...200,000 bonus points
Correct Estimate...2,000,000 bonus points

Failure to enter in any given week is a 50,000 point deduction

Disqualification will occur in the unlikely event a competitor 'goes bankrupt' (0 points)

Official crowd figures used will be those published in the following week's 'Footy Record'

The winner will be the person with the most points remaining after the Grand Final
-------------------------------------------------------

Please note: With 2,000,000 bonus points on offer for a correct guess, everyone's a chance right up 'til the final siren! :D

Now...who wants in? Yea or Nay.

I'll be in that for sure!!!

On two separate occasions (while at the games) I have predicted the crowds within 3 and 9 of the actual figure. Eyeing the sherrin off already :D.

[Darky]

...and before any smartarse starts up, NO THEY WERE NOT NORTH GAMES WHERE I COUNTED THE CROWD ON MY FINGERS!

[ant]

Yeah RIPPER I'll be in it thanks. That's a Yea.

Good thing you made that last post Darky cause you were leaving yourself wide open. :)

[Fred]

I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all these censorious, self-righteous people around me.

I'll be it Mr Ripper.

Lioness, we don't have to make a side bet like in the Fantasy Footy competition. I feel bad enough as it is making you buy a saints membership in 2002. Well, maybe not. :D
