Fone Fix Footy Tipping

 

Footy Tipping Rules 2010

 

  • Welcome to the 2010 Fone Fix Footy Tipping Comp. The knock out comp will not commence until all players have paid the fees or entered into an agreement to pay. We have had too many people pull out without paying when they get knocked out early. At the completion of round 4 all non payers will be suspended until they contact us regarding payment. The wild cards and knock out will commence in round 5 and all suspended tippers will not be able to make selections thus resulting in them being eliminated from the knock out.
  • Entry Fee is $200.00, it must be paid by round 3 (or an arrangement made to pay by installments), and will be allocated as follows:
  • $160.00 (or 80%) from each entry will be applied to a weekly point score which will include 26 rounds plus the finals (30 rounds) so will end on Grand Final day. The prizes will be calculated as follows:
  • Prizes (based on estimated 154 entries as an example):-


    * There will be a small deduction from the prize pool, prior to the calculation of prizes. This deduction is to cover the cost of software and any banking or admin fees. This fee is usually around $650.00 details will be made available in due course.
  • In the event of a 3-way tie the total prize money will be split among the three winners, a 2-way tie will split 1st & 2nd prize and a tie for 2nd will result in sharing 2nd & 3rd prizes and so on down to 10th place.
  • 10% of the pool will be for a Knock-Out competition where you will select a 'Special' team each week. If that team wins you stay in, if it loses you're knocked out. A draw is now (rule change for 2010) considered a loss and both teams will be knocked out.

    The last man standing gets the prize which will be $10% x number of players. If all remaining players are knocked out in a particular round and the resulting payout would be less than $200 per player then all of those players that were still alive in that round will be reinstated for the next round.
  • 10% of the pool will be for a "Second Half" competition to be started in round 16 and continuing to the Grand Final. The person or persons having the highest score in the last 15 rounds only (rounds 16 to 30) will get the cash. This should keep all punters interested for the entire season as even the bottom ranked entrants can win this prize simply by having a great Second Half! Wild cards have no effect on the scores here (except in 2007), it is based on best raw scores only.
  • There is a small administration fee to cover the purchase cost of the software and any banking or admin fees. These fees will be deducted from the prize pool prior to any winnings being paid out.
  • Scores are allocated as follows:
    • Correct pick = 2 points
    • Selected draw = 10 points
    • Unselected draw = 1 points
    • All correct = 1 bonus point for each game played in that round
  • Following the completion of round 4 each tipper will receive 3 Wild Cards to be used throughout the year, when selected the wild card will earn you double points for that round. Wild cards are only applied to the end of season prizes and the "Second Half" competition is not effected by them (except in 2007). The wild cards are not issued prior to round 4 to prevent potential non payers from using them before deciding whether to pay or not and having a free look, so to speak.
  • Payment can be made by sending us your Master Card, Visa, American Express or Diners Club details by email or post or by sending your cheque or money order, made payable to Fone Fix, to PO Box 454, Double Bay NSW 1360, or by direct deposit to ANZ Bank BSB# 012-141, Acct# 909440163, Name: Fone Fix (Please include your name in the deposit).
Note. 
Punters can enter the season late but they will be awarded average scores for any rounds they may have missed. 
All entries must be in prior to the start of the first game each week or you will receive the average tippers' score for that week rounded down.

Should you be unable to get your tips in by closing time or you need to make alterations prior to the games please send an email to footy@fonefix.com.au or send an SMS or call Nish on 0412 235 622.

By doing this we then have a record of what time the changes were requested; if it is after the start of a game we cannot make any changes as that may be construed as cheating.
