You will be able to input your tipping preferences, view your current position, retrieve statistical data and even enter your tips weeks in advance. PRIZES 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 more the merrier, could you please spread the words and invite your Murdoch colleagues to join in, it will also increase the amount of prizes. The prize pool will consist of 75% of the weekly pool paid out as the weekly prize, which was a little over $117 for each week’s winners in 2016. 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 per cent 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 FEES and PAYMENT Fee is $65 for the whole season.
