Hey all, happy to run this for another year.

It's a great little comp that requires little effort, is lots of fun to play, doesn't last that long and has a safety net in case you forget to tip one week.

Aim:

Try and pick one Carlton player each week to kick a goal

Rules:

  • You nominate one player each week to kick a goal
    • If your player kicks at least one goal that week, you stay in the comp
    • If your player doesn't kick a goal, you're out
  • You can only choose each player once over the season
  • If your player kicks the first goal of the match, you earn an immunity card
    • You can nominate before a match that you want to play your immunity card
      • You make it through to the next round, regardless of whether your player kicked a goal
      • Your player is used up (even if he kicks a goal)
  • If your player does not play, you are allocated the lowest-numbered player who is playing that you haven't used up yet (ie SOS #1, Dow #2, Murph #3)
Winners:
  • Main game (Longest-lasting): The poster that lasts the most weeks (from the start) is the winner
    • If all remaining tippers are eliminated in the same week
      • If only one poster eliminated in the final week had an unused immunity card, they are the winner
      • If more than one poster eliminated in the final week had an unused immunity card, they are reinstated (sans immunity) and play goes one til one poster left
      • If no one had an unused immunity, all 'equal-winners' are re-instated until a sole poster survives
  • Consolation prize (Most tips): These comps often don't last very long (especially if your username is Jabba73). So as a secondary comp, there will be a winner for the poster with the most 'correct weeks' through the season.
  • In this comp, you have unlimited lives. If you get knocked out one week, you just dust yourself off and keep on going. We all keep tipping all season. So it keeps it interesting.
  • The other option is that once we all get knocked out, we all reset and start 'round 2' as in a new streak of the main game. We can discuss when we get to that point.
  • Previous winners include illustrious posters like 2016 ROTY BlueGum and 2015's (?) POTY ferrisb :)

Rd 1 - Casboult (does it count if he kicks 6 behinds ? :))

1) SNAP!
2) Casboult IS going to kick 6 'behinds'; all six Richmond defenders :)
3) A post every two years and I coax you into action. I feel so proud
 
ferrisb - is there a shiny badge for the winner ? Or cake ?

Round 1 - C. Curnow

So many benefits; pride in a job well done, respect of your fellow posters, a nice big congrats post from me and the empty promise of a shiny badge from mods that never gets delivered.

So no. No prizes......:D
