I am starting up a tipping comp at my work and just trying to find the best way to share the prize fund?

I was hoping to have 1st, 2nd, 3rd and possibly winner each round or 8 in a week?

I would say 50% of the total prize pool for 1st, 35% for 2nd and 15% for 3rd

Most smaller workplace comps just pool in $10 each for a first prize, and then if you get around 20-30 people in you can do a 70-30 split on a 1st and 2nd.

This year I'm planning to start chipping away at bucket list footy matches (pretty much just all the marquee matches). I can't decide between ANZAC Eve or ANZAC Day however. Both have a huge atmosphere, both are special matches, and both will be cracking games (Top 4 vs Top 4 in both). Anyone been to either or have one they reckon would be better?

Also, does anyone know when/why West Coast changed their theme song from "for year's they took the best of us..." to "hey eagles hey eagles...". Just listening to some of the older ones and never really put much thought into when it changed

2000 I believe, as part of the big rebrand from the wings to the fat budgie. The whole rebrand was to attract younger fans to the club.

Doubt you'd be able to find a seat at ANZAC day unless you're willing to fork more out than a typical $25 for concession

Welcome to the party Shokunin, glad to know I'm not the only Dolphins fan on the face of the Earth. I follow the NFL a fair bit, magpienato and caloschwaby do as well (they're Packers fans)

Kind of a lousy time to start following the NFL though, seeing as the season just finished

I too am a dolphin...

Both are excellent games
I would say ANZAC Day as it is pretty special

Saw this on the Suns website. From reading the article it talks about the Suns womens team playing in a 'Winter Series' against the Lions team in Mackay. From that I can only assume that's the womens jumper or some kind of promotional one.

TL;DR: Gold coast jumper with gold cuffs.

Looks like my prediction was correct. Also it's pretty cool to see Blackburn FC included in this picture, the biggest club in the EFL. Go to almost every one of their games and looking to buy a membership for next year, carn the Burners!

I think it was a Blackburn vs Nth Ringwood game, I saw him there watching along the boundary and had a bit of a chat with Neale, bloody good bloke.

Also on a somewhat related note, currently looking at redesigning Blackburn's horrible logo, watch this space...

Not sure if anyone else is following the NFL Trade Period but wow OBJ heading over to the Browns now wtf.

Also just read that Shaun Marsh is heading over to the Renegades in the BBL.

So they have a couple of wins this year and now they think they're ready to challenge for a Super Bowl? Pssh.

7-8-1 record for them is amazing from where they are at. With Steelers on a sharp decline and the Bengals being the Bengals, I'd say the AFC North battle is between the Browns and Ravens.

anyone else experienced a workplace takeover bid? i work for a publicly listed company and we were just told today we had an unsolicited offer to buy our company from someone else. i'm only 24 and my only other job besides this one was at coles (lol), so i've never been through anything like this before.

Ricciardo's lid. Very unconventional design. No idea what 'stop being them' is referring to.

I don't hate it but I'm sure it'll grow on me.

Why would you want to do that? if someone forgets they'll drop way off the pack and likely just give up.

He's trying to create a battle royale version of footy tipping, last man standing.

And it will be only Lynton and Joel Martin by themselves.

Yeah, about 3 of them. Generally speaking, it's middle management and above that are the ones likely to have any major change in a restructure, lower hierarchy employees are 'generally' safe.
