Tipping Comp.

This is the weirdest AFL tipping comp I have ever seen and cant quite understand how it works.

Surely you would just tip the top sides each week?

Friendly aussie AFL head.

Hi anonymous:  follow the link to the rules:  http://www.afana.com/drupal5/top4comp

This unusual comp was created by our first webmaster back in 1997.  The idea was to do something unique and actually harder than just picking 4 winners a week.  Twice during the season, once before round 1 and once between rounds 11 and 12 you select the teams that are first thru fourth on the table (standings for Americans).  You get points based on how close you get and those points accumulate week by week all year.  The person who has most points after round 22 wins.  Looks easy but it isn't because you only get to pick twice.  So, just because you get zero points for round 1 might not matter if a club wins 8 straight and goes to the top from rounds 3 to 11 and you have them first, so you rack up points every week.  Strategy matters, as does making intelligent picks at round 11.  (Hint: picking the top 4 teams on the table at round 11 might help you for a round or two but could hurt you from then on.).
