(I've been trying to think of a fair system for everyone, but if someone joins in round 2 they have an advantage over people who are in the negative already. Therefor the prize (a junior footy signed by Campbo and Tommy Hafey) can only go to one of the original entrants.

ROUND 2 RULES

Step 1- Pick the two teams you think will win. 10 points for correct answers, minus 10 if incorrect.

Step 2 - Nominate the margins. Within 12 points either way earns 20 bonus points.

Step 3 - Name 2 players from each team who'll be listed in Monday's Herald Sun best players. 5 points for each player who's named. (Posts can be modified when teams are announced Thursday night.

Thinking caps on? ;D

Help needed please. ;D

I've had an e-mail this arvo pointing out that this particular competition could penalise people who have done well in round 1.

In a way that's true. Seeing there are so few games in the finals I thought it would be more fun for everyone if the lead could swap about a bit instead of someone getting off to a good start and others having no chance to catch up.

In a way I must have achieved what I had in mind, but maybe that's not how people like it to be.

Was meant as a bit of fun really. I even made up the rules myself this week.

Any ideas for rules the following couple of weeks would be much appreciated. Prefer something different each week. If anyone wants to volunteer to take over this comp I'd be very happy too.

 

[jackstar]

quick question Rosy, do we have too pay tax on the $1,000,000 first prize. :

 

[shawry]

If you want an honest answer to that Jackstar even though I know you are joking, the answer is no. Not unless you are in the business of winning and entering competitions and claiming all your expenses. Is a one off windfall so you get away wiht it. Free money.
