AFANA's Tipping Comps for 2010 are now accepting entries. We have several competitions here at afana.com:
Our unique Top 4 Competition: 3 times during the season you pick the 4 clubs you think are most likely to be in the top 4 positions in the standings each week for the succeeding 7 or 8 weeks. (You only get one set of 4 for those weeks.) The closer your picks are in any particular week, the more points you accumulate that week. The top point getter at the end of the season takes home the honors. To learn more see our Top 4 signup page. This is open to any interested fan. It's free and not as easy as it looks.
Our Members Tipping Competition: This is a conventional tipping competition where each week you pick the 8 winners from the matches for that round. Get all 8 right or be the only one to get a particular match correct and get bonus points. So if you are entered in a bigger competition at one of the other footy sites (who could they be?), why not send in your tips to AFANA, too? All that's required is that you have donated (any amount!) to AFANA in the past year (and if you haven't why not donate now?). For more details see the Member's Tipping signup page.
Entry to all AFANA competitions is free. read more »
