Australian Football Association of North America

Fellow Members,

The AFANA-members only weekly tipping competition will return in season 2011. We invite all AFANA members to participate. To join go to the bottom of this page.

This is a standard "pick the weekly winners" AFL tipping competition open ONLY to current AFANA members - anyone who has donated any amount to AFANA in the past year. We hope you'll enter the competition. It's FREE - no entry fees are required. For 2011, prizes will be announced soon.

Here's how the competition works:

Each week, sometime before 12:01 AM (USA Eastern Time) of the day the round begins (usually Friday), send your tips to: tipping@afana.com. A standard text-based email in any format is suitable - there is no required "format" for the entries. If you receive an automated email listing your weekly tips from another tipping competition, you can simply forward this email to us at tipping@afana.com. Round 1 tips are due before THURSDAY MARCH 24, 2011 at 12:01 AM EDT (US Eastern Daylight Savings Time). Results will be available on the AFANA web site and via RSS feed early the following week.

Scores will be computed as follows:
-  one point for each correct pick for the round;
-  two point bonus for picking all 8 winning teams in a round;
-  an additional one point each time you pick a winner that nobody else in the competition picks!

Additional information:
- Entrants who fail to submit tips for a given week will automatically get all "away" clubs and whatever points so earned.
- Entrants sending their tips in late will receive "away" clubs and whatever points so earned for matches completed or in progress before their tips are received.
- Enrolled participants who don't send in any tips during the first four rounds of the season or four consecutive rounds during the season will be removed from the comp.

We hope you will join us for the fun this year. Who's ready to take up the challenge of knocking off our 2010 winner - Alan Croome??

To sign-up, enter your email address at the bottom of the page, and follow the instructions you receive. Send questions and tips to: tipping@afana.com.
