HAPPY TIPPING

The second competition is a Knockout Tipping Competition.

This competition will have an entry fee of 300,000 VND.

Entry Fee for this competition MUST be paid before the start of Round 1.

Regardless of whether you selection is in the first game of the round or last game of the round, your selection has to be lodged by the commencement of play in the first game of the round.

All you have to do is tip one winner from the eight rounds each week.

However,

You cannot pick the same team to win two rounds in a row

You cannot pick the same team to lose two rounds in a row.

Eg:  Round 1                                                                                 Round 2

        West Coast V St. Kilda                                                       Richmond V St. Kilda

        Western Bulldogs V Richmond                                         Geelong V Kangaroos

        Geelong V Brisbane                                                             Western Bulldogs V Melbourne

        Essendon V Sydney                                                            Brisbane V Essendon

        Port Adelaide V Kangaroos                                               Fremantle V Carlton

        Hawthorn V Fremantle                                                        Sydney V Port Adelaide

        Melbourne V Carlton                                                           Hawthorn V Collingwood

        Collingwood V Adelaide                                                     Adelaide V West Coast

If in Round 1 you select the Western Bulldogs to win and they do win, the next Round you cannot pick the Western Bulldogs NOR can you pick St. Kilda because in Round 1 you picked against Richmond.

If you join this competition, each week Digger will send you a form showing who you cannot tip.

As this is a knock out competition, as soon as your selection loses you are out of the contest.

It is possible for this type of competition to jackpot as all players can lose and their be no winner.  If there is a jackpot, all tipsters from the first competition can re-enter the second competition for another Knockout competition at 300,000 VND.  New competitors can join the competition for 600,000 VND.  Further jackpots will be played along the same lines so that each person in the competition contributes equally.
