2 DAYS TO GO TILL SEASON 2019 KICKOFF!



We are only 2 days away till the NRL Season kicks off as the competition edges closer to a record number of participants *fingers crossed*

For those who have joined, paid and entered their predictions, here's a few tips/pointers/reminders to get you started...

KICKOFF DAY - COME KICKOFF, WHAT HAPPENS?

- Tipsters not paid (or who haven't arranged a late payment) will be removed from the competition.
- Tipsters not entered Predictions will be given the 2018 results as default.
- Tipsters will be randomly drawn into Pools for the Bonus Pools competitions and shared on the FaceBook page & this blogsite.
- 5x Joker Rounds are randomly drawn and shared on the FaceBook page & this blogsite.

TIP EARLY IN THE WEEK!

There's nothing worse that trying to beat the mad rush on a Thursday or Friday night (pending on when the round starts) and not being able to enter your tips due to a Footytips website overload!
As a back up plan, I've always suggested getting tips in early in the week and then going back to make adjustments (if necessary) later.

GOING ON HOLIDAY? TIP WEEKS IN ADVANCE!

Again, as a precaution, and to avoid missing out on the running Margin prize, I suggest tipping weeks in advance.

TURN ON 'ALLOW ADMIN TIP' IN YOUR SETTINGS

If you would like me (Admin) to be able to enter your tips for you, you must give me permission to do so.
To do this, go to Settings - My Preferences and under 'Allow Admin Tip and Score Editing', select YES. This is handy if for some reason you can't get a net connection and you'd like me to enter your tips for you. I can be contacted via text on +61 45 2066275 (nz) or 045 2066275 (Aust).

THE LOWEST MARGIN PRIZE - NEW RULE!

From Week One, I will keep a running tally of who is leading the Lowest Margin through out the season.
Last season, we had some disagreements around tipsters who don't tip and aren't punished in their margin total (due to a lower scoring game) vs someone who does and is punished more, so I have decided to make a very black and white rule this season.

If any tipster misses locking in their tip & margin in the Round's Margin game (normally the first game of the round), the tipster will be eliminated from the Lowest Margin prize race.
I will list all the eliminations in each Lowest margin update.

Please make sure your margin is entered before saving your tips. I will simply be going off Footytips' WHO HAS TIPPED WHAT list every week and if I see a NO TIP blank under the Margin game, I will simply take that as gospel - no questions asked - whether it's a website*, internet or user error.

*if it's a competition wide Footytips error, then that would be a different story, of course.

As mentioned above, you can enter your tips weeks in advance, so I do suggest utilizing that.
