ENTRY CONDITIONS

To register for the Promotion, Entrants must during the Promotion Period:
1. register their details via the on-line registration form located on the Tipping Website and provide all required information; and
2. opt-in to subscribe to AFL email communications in accordance with the AFL Privacy Policy and these Terms.
The Promoter reserves the right not to accept a registration for any Entrant or to disqualify an Entrant if the Promoter considers that the registration contains anything defamatory or is otherwise inappropriate. There is a limit of one entry per person and any person submitting more then one entry will not be eligible to win a prize in the Promotion.
An Entrant may only register as an individual.
Entrants will have the opportunity, in respect of each Match in each Round of the Season, to tip by:
1. selecting a team that the Entrant expects will win the Match (a Draw cannot be selected); and
2. submitting those selections via the Tipping Website (selections for each Match must be submitted before the scheduled start time of the relevant Match). Each Entrant can only provide one set of tips.
An Entrant may make or change a tip for a given Match at any time prior to the scheduled starting time of that Match, subject to these Terms.
Entrants will have the opportunity, in respect to a single Match in each Round of the Home and Away Season, to tip by selecting the team that the Entrant expects to win and also including the margin by which they expect that their selected team’s score will beat the opponent team’s score for the Margin Game. If the team the Entrant tips scores greater than or equal to the opposition score, their tip is considered successful.

FAILURE TO TIP

If an Entrant:
1. does not submit a tip for a given Match in a Round, then the Entrant's tip for that Match will be deemed to be for the team determined, in the Promoter's sole discretion, to be the "away team"; or
2. does not submit a tip for Matches in an entire Round, the Entrant's tips for that Round will be deemed to be those of the teams determined, in the Promoter's sole discretion, to be the "away teams" up to a maximum of four correct tips for that Round; or
3. enters the Promotion after the commencement of the first Round of the Season, then the Entrant's tips for those Matches that have been completed will be deemed to be those of the teams determined to be the "away teams" to a maximum of four correct tips for each such Round.

SCORING

Subject to the rules relating to failure to tip in Clause 12, Entrants will be allocated one point for each correctly selected winning team for a Match.
In the event of a Match in a given Round being drawn, cancelled, abandoned, not completed or not played for any reason and the AFL does not officially declare a result within two (2) business days of the original scheduled date of the Match, it is treated as a win for both teams competing in that Match. Where the result of a match changes after the official tipping results for a round have been ranked (ie. a breach of By-Laws causes a forfeit) then any prize winners awarded will stand, though the overall result will be shown as a 'Draw' whereby it is treated as a win for both teams competing in that Match.

OVERALL RANKING

Throughout the Season, the Promoter will maintain a leaderboard which ranks the Entrants from highest to lowest based on their Scores. To determine the ranking of two or more Entrants that have an equal Score, the Entrant with the lower Cumulative Margin will rank higher than other Entrants with corresponding equal Scores.
