The 2016 AFL season begins on Thursday 24 of March. It’s time to show everyone your tipping prowess and be in the running to win some great cash prizes.

We've created a Murdoch University tipping competition using a web-based program, but 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 the $62.50 season tipping fee set up as an automatic deduction from your salary ($6.25 per fortnight for 10 pay periods) or alternatively deducted as a one off payment for the 2016 season.

Just fill in the payroll deduction form and forward it to Arie Kusuma, IT Service Desk, Library North Wing 4.018.

Alternatively you can pay cash by forwarding a one-off payment of $62.50 to Arie Kusuma.

The prize pool will consist of 75% of the weekly pool paid out as the weekly prize, which was 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.

Twenty-five percent of each weekly pool will be carried forward for season prizes, which will be:

• 1st: 40% of season prize pool
• 2nd: 30% of season prize pool
• 3rd: 20% of season prize pool
• 4th: 10% of season prize pool
