It’s not long to go before the 2009 NRL season get underway (Friday 13th March).

So if you’re interested to get involved in the UTS NRL Tipping Comp for 2009 below are the details on how to go about it.

The cost to enter for the entire season (which includes the NRL Finals) is only $20.

The format will involve selecting the winners of the weekly games.

For that you receive:

• 1 point for tipping the correct winning team
• 2 points for tipping a draw
• 3 bonus points for tipping the round

Changes from last years comp

Selections are due 5 minutes prior to kick off of each match, and if for some reason you miss submitting your tip you will receive zero points (0) for those games only.

I have also introduced a knockout comp. Where each tipper nominates one winning team that they think will win each week (Tippers cannot pick the same team in two consecutive weeks). If the team they select wins, they progress to the next week. If the team they select loses, they are knocked out. (NOTE: this will not knock them out of the overall tipping comp – it only affects the bonus knockout comp).

You as the tipper are responsible for submitting your tips through the Oztips website (Oztips send out reminders). Alternatively you can SMS me you tips (by the required cut off point) and I can update your tips for you being the Competition Manager. My Number in case you don’t have it is 0418 600 326.
