The 2008 NRL Season is fast approaching, getting under way Friday the 14th March.

So if you’re interested to get involved in the UTS NRL Tipping Comp for 2008 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

If selections are not received by to the cut off time of that round you will receive 1 point less then lowest point getter for that round (e.g. lowest score received is 3 points, then you will get 2 points).

You as the tipper are responsible for submitting your tips through the Oztips website (Oztips send out reminders). Alternatively you can SMS me your 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.

The allocated list of Prize money has been set at 1st (60%), 2nd (25%) & 3rd (15%). Also the genuine Last Place getter will receive there $20 money back (only eligible if all tips for each round have been submitted).

I will be organizing to place an order by the end of next week with Eastbay in time for Xmas.

If you are keen to get anything whether it is for yourself or perhaps for your partner then take a look over the website www.eastbay.com.

I don’t do this to make any money out of people I just happen to have an account with them, and it makes it cheaper for people to combine orders as we share the shipping charge by the amount of items that are purchased.

If all goes to plan then the order will be being placed 30th November. This would also mean that your money will be required at the same time as well. I won’t be waiting or people who haven’t paid for the stuff upfront.

So get back to me if you are keen to get anything by supplying me with the item & style number as well as your size that you require. Email president or call 0418 600 326.

As promised the club has planned a BBQ for this Saturday (17 November), with details as follows:

Location - Centennial Park, Randwick (Enter the park via the Darley Rd Entrance which is off Allison Rd near the Randwick racecourse) Refer to google maps for details.

Food - The club has $100 which was won at the recent UTS Clubs trivia night to put towards some food & drinks. (I’m thinking a combination of meats/salads/bread and drinks) for all to share.

Plan - Some of us are aiming to get down there nice and early (around 10am) to secure a BBQ. So feel free to rock up from anytime after 10am. Food should be on about 12/12:30. This should be a good opportunity to sit back and relax in the park, throw round the footy, have a good feed, discuss issues such as the impending election, or simply bask in the sun.

All are welcome, including friends and family of UTS Gridiron.

If you could try and give some indication as to your attendance so we can plan estimated food requirements, apart from that - hope to see you there.
