Last season when the football itself was getting ultra boring and most of us had stopped watching the Crows, we needed something to fill the void. That something was the Upsets Game, the brainchild of board veteran arrowman.
It gained quite a following so we're going to roll with it again this season.
The beauty of this game is that participation is ongoing. The Goal Kicking and Lock games are knockout competitions so playing numbers diminish throughout. The Upsets Game allows ongoing participation so even the most inept tipsters can feel included.

Game founder: arrowman
Inaugural winner: CrowinNT
Rules
Pick one upset each week via the poll (will create a new poll each week).
If your selected team gets up then you win their odds. Eg Sydney are paying $2.36 to beat Adelaide in Round 1. If you pick them and they get up you get $2.36 added to your tally. If they lose you get zero.
Whoever has won the most by the time the Crows mid-season bye rolls around is the winner (we'll run a second game from the Crows' midseason bye until the end of the season).
If you miss a week it doesn't matter. Just don't get any $$$ that week.
You can join any time, even if the competition has been running for a while.
You can change your selection right up until the first bounce of the first game.
I'll go by the Sportsbet odds on the Monday following the round. The odds may swing throughout the week but I'll stick to what's dished up on the Monday.
For even money games you can't pick either of the teams.
If your selection isn't in by the start of the Friday night game (or whatever is the first game of the round) then you can't select that round.
