AFL Finals Tipping Challenge

[NYC-Kaiser]

hey guys,

just wanted to let you over at sister-site bigsoccer.com we are having an AFL Playoff Tipping Challenge.

let's see who is better, the bigsoccer posters or the bigfooty posters. you will need to register again to post at bigsoccer, so if you don't want to do that post your picks on this thread.

here's the link to the THREAD over at Bigsoccer
=======================================
the rules are simple:
You pick which team you think will win. Get it right, get right and get 4 points

Bonus points- pick the winning margin- by 0-9 pts, 10-19, 20-29, 30+ and get 2 points. You can only get the bonus points if you pick the correct team to win.

Picks will go by round (just pick the first round games). if we get a good amount of players, maybe a certain amount will be eliminated after each playoff round (it will be decided before it starts)

When making your picks, please list it as so
here's an example->
Brisbane plays St. Kilda, my pick would be as follows:

Bhoysfc1995(bigsoccer)
Brisbane
+30

so you are wondering why i put (bigsoccer), thats b/c i put out a challenge to our sister site bigfooty to see if they want to join to comp. as well. this way we can tell what site each player is from.

finally, spots will be limited as i will be doing all the calculating of points, and really would prefer not to spend my entire evenings tallying point totals

so, for now, if you are interested just post here and say so, also feel free to ask questions, all are welcome to join!

kelly,

just checking, but you do understand the rules for the bonus pick, right? the way you have is that you expect each of those teams to win by 30 or more points.

the current table has 20 people signed up, half bigsoccer, half bigfooty. as the way it is now, after the second round of playoffs, the bottom four will be relegated meaning the 4 will battle for the wooden spoon (regardless of their point total after the grand final).

the names are listed alphabetically.
