Essendon Forum Tipping 2021 - Comments

Australian Football League, 2021 AFL H&A and Finals

Comments

Welcome to round 2! It's really happening!

We've just found that, due to a flaw in the software, alerts and automatic tips did not run in round 1, and probably will not run this week.

Please get your tips in, and we will fix this for future weeks. The fix is known and being applied now.

If we can retrospectively fill in away teams for people who missed their tips, we will. It may not be possible.

Thank you.

Tie Breaker Margin for Round 14

We had a little glitch so anyone entering their tips between 8:10 Thursday night and 10AM Friday was unable to enter a tie-breaker.

This has been fixed, so if you were affected jump back in and add your tie-breaker margin now.
 
I would add to that... please enter a tie breaker. So often we get 12 people with an equal number of tips in 1st, 2nd or 3rd on the weekly winners, and none of them have entered tie breakers. Worse still, with only 5-6 games the last couple of weeks, I can't even determine a winner on count back, as it's still tied.
 
Also, round 10, Freo vs Sydney:


This game had a Sunday date, not Saturday. This means it was open for tips for an extra day.

This game will not be scored. This sucks, but it is really the result of every game being entered individually from drop-down menus. It's tedious and open to error. One miss-click and it's the wrong date or time. We haven't been able to get a better system developed by the addon developer.

If I can get in and see time stamps - no guarantee, again due to the way the system is written - I might be able to retroactively add the score in later.

Very frustrating.

If you see a date or time or score error, send me a private convo which is much more likely to be seen more quickly. Alert your board moderators or another Admin too.

Round 15

Something's gone wrong and I think we haven't gotten our reminders and automatic away team tips.

Get your tips in. You probably won't get away teams as automatic tips.
 
17-way tie for the weekly winner of Round 17!

You all put exactly the same tips in – 8 correct tips, 1 incorrect (all tipped Adelaide to beat Essendon) and all left the tie-breaker empty. There is no way for me to split this result.

Please remember to type in a margin for the first game in the box at the bottom – even if your tie breaker is 100 points off, if you're the only one to enter it (likely) then you win by default.
 
Might be that they put no tips in and just got the default away teams :) who came second?

With a 17-way tie for first there is no 2nd, 3rd, 4th ... 17th.

18th place is another tie between whoever picked 4 correct tips, three of whom submitted tie-breakers. I picked a margin of 23, Scott Miller picked 18, Wilsen picked a margin of 8, and DonsRule didn't put a tiebreaker in. The actual margin was 31 so it would be in that order.

We don't have weekly prizes anyway as far as I know – that's only in the main forum comp.

Thanks.
 
Game times have been updated with Queensland lockdown and rescheduling.

You should be able to change your tips for those games if you wish to.
 
Round 21

The latest fixture has been applied. Let me know via PM if any dates or times are incorrect.

AND! I changed the home/away for St Kilda v Swans. I had it as Swans v St Kilda.

If you have tipped already, you will need to change your tip for that game. Sorry for any inconvenience.
