Now in thread! 
The Oz Tips comp is all well and good, but I generally win because I'm the only man sad enough to tip practically every week. I thought, for the coming season, more active participation would result if we kept the tipping in the thread as per the NRL/AFL comps.
Briefly then, the rules:
1) 1 point per correct tip.
2) Bonus points will be awarded for the week's top tipper(s), but these will only be used to separate posters who're on the same number of actual tips. As we have midweek games up here weeks are deemed to run from Sat-Fri.
3) No editing of tips. At all. If you change your mind please quote your original tips in a new post. Avoids any potential skullbuggery and it's less easy to miss tips for me.
4) Non-submitters get the lowest score for the week for three weeks, then will be removed from comp.
5) Latecomers join on the lowest score minus one point.
6) Tips for postponed games will not be carried forward. So if you tip Man U to beat Wigan in Januray, it gets rained off and rearranged for April you'll need to tip again at the time of the reschuduled fixture. Less of a ball-ache for me, basically.
7) As we have three potential results & teams often play more than once a week please C&P the whole fixture and highlight your winner or write "draw" beside the fixture and highlight that.
& that's pretty much it. So here's the (current) fixtures for week one:
Saturday, 15 August 2009
Aston Villa v Wigan
Blackburn v Man City
Bolton v Sunderland
Chelsea v Hull
Everton v Arsenal
Portsmouth v Fulham
Stoke v Burnley
Wolverhampton v West Ham
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunday, 16 August 2009
Man Utd v Birmingham
Tottenham v Liverpool
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, 18 August 2009
Fulham v Blackburn
Sunderland v Chelsea
Wigan v Wolverhampton
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday, 19 August 2009
Birmingham v Portsmouth
Burnley v Man Utd
Hull v Tottenham
Liverpool v Stoke
Happy tipping.
