The 2015 AFL Season kicks off on 2 April 2015 with Carlton taking on Melbourne on Easter Thursday. So, it’s time to enter the 2015 Murdoch University Footy Tipping Competition and show everyone you can tip with the big guns as well as having a chance to win big cash prizes.

You have to be in it to win it. There will be a weekly cash prize and overall season prizes. Over the last few years the number of tippers has grown with more than sixty people from all areas of the Murdoch community signing up last year.

The competition is being run using a web based program, footytips.com.au. All Murdoch participants will be able to log on and access competition information. You will be able to input your tipping preferences, view your current position, retrieve statistical data and even enter your tips weeks in advance.

You are able to have your tipping fee for the season of $62.50 set up as an automatic deduction from your salary of $6.25 per fortnight for 10 pay periods or alternatively deducted as a one off payment of $62.50 for the 2014 Season.

Just fill in the payroll deduction form and forward to John Pike, Office of Strategy, Quality and Analytics.

Alternatively should you wish to pay cash, you need to forward a one off payment of $62.50 to John Pike.

The prize pool will consist of 75 per cent of the weekly pool paid out as the weekly prize, a little over $120 for each week’s winners in 2014. Weekly winners will be determined by the tipper’s score for the round in question and then by their margin difference for the same round and then by their accumulated margin. Just as a reminder, we only tip for the home and away season.

25 per cent of each weekly pool will be carried forward for season prizes. The season prizes will be:
1st 40 per cent of season prize pool
2nd 30 per cent of season prize pool
3rd 20 per cent of season prize pool
4th 10 per cent of season prize pool
