Leagues FAQs.

Q: How I do create an office comp, or a group where I can compete against my friends? A: If you've been invited to join a group by a friend or relative, please use the information that was emailed to you to join that league. If not, you will be given the option to create your own league and invite other friends and relatives to join your league, on registration. You can be a part of up to five leagues.

Q: I've found out that all of my friends are in another league. How do I swap leagues so I can play against them? Can you move my entry for me? A: You can swap leagues on the League page by clicking on the 'CREATE/JOIN' (to join an additional league) or 'LEAVE' (leave your current league and join the new one) buttons and entering the desired League Code in the box provided on your league page, at any time.

Q: How do I enter a new public league? A: To enter a new public league, you will need to create one. In your Leagues page, simply click on the 'CREATE/JOIN' button and follow the instructions. That league will then be merged with other teams after the publishing of the next round's results.

Q: How do I leave a league? A: In your Leagues page, simply click on the 'LEAVE' button to leave a league. Please note, you must be in at least one league.

Q: Why can't I invite people into my league? A: If you have been invited into a Private League, then only the league's creator has the ability to invite more people into that league from their Leagues page.

Q: Can I remove people from my league? A: If you are a Private League creator, you will have the option to remove people from your league.

Q: Do I win a prize for coming first in my private/public league? A: No. Unfortunately due to the enormous amount of users/leagues in the competition, it is virtually impossible to organise and award prizes to winners in each league.

Q: Can I change the name of the league that I created? A: Your league name is a unique identifier in the game and can only be changed prior to your league's first round of play.

Q: The league that I was in is now different, or its name changed... Why? A: We may add entries, or merge leagues where they do not attract enough competitors. All care will be taken to ensure that all original entries that you had in your league will still be there, in addition to new ones. Your league name may therefore change based on these movements.

Q: I just joined. Why wasn't I added to a league, and where is the option to create one? A: Everyone who signs up for TAB Sportsbet Footy Tipping will be a part of a league. Look for the "Leagues" link and button in the menu bar on the left to access your leagues.

    5.1 Tipping Weeks
    The Promotion will contain 26 separate weeks for submitting tips (each a Tipping Week(s)) corresponding to the 26 weeks of matches of the 2012 NRL home and away season, excluding any finals matches (known as the Regular Season).
    5.2 Weekly Tipping
    Players must select both:
      (a) the winning team for each match in a Tipping Week before the Deadline (see clause below for definition of "Deadline") for the Tipping Week in question; and
      (b) the difference between the final scores (the Margin) of their tipped winning team and the other team playing the nominated match (known as the Margin Match) in the free text box next to that match before the Deadline for the Tipping Week in question.
    The Margin will be used as a tie-breaker should more than one Player be ranked equally based on Correct Tips. The cumulative Margin Score for a Player is the total of all Margin Scores awarded for that Player for all completed Tipping Weeks to date. The lowest Margin Score / cumulative Margin Score is ranked highest. The "Margin Score" is calculated for each Tipping Week based on the difference between the submitted Margin and the actual result. For example, if a Player tips a team to win by a Margin of 10 points and the actual result is a win by 5 points, the Margin Score awarded will be 5 points. However, if a team is tipped to win by a Margin of 10 points and the team loses by 5 points, the Margin Score awarded is 15 points.
    5.3 Tipping Week Deadline
      (a) The weeks of matches for the Regular Season are set out on "Tipping pages" of the Website. Any postponed, rescheduled or delayed matches will have their match times updated during the season to become part of the next appropriate Tipping Week in which the match will be played.
      (b) The deadline for each Tipping Week (the Deadline) will be specified on the "My Tips" page on the Competition Website. Unless otherwise specified, Players can enter their tip for a match up to the start of that match in every Tipping Week.
      (c) Where tips are being entered directly into the Website by a Player, tips can be submitted or changed up until the start of each match.
6. Scoring

    6.1 Players will be awarded points in each Tipping Week based on the selections they have made as follows:
Point Scoring - Tipping
Stat Description Points Awarded
Correct TipThe number of points awarded will be equal to the dollar value of the final TAB Sportsbet fixed odds price at kick off. E.g. if the team selected was priced at $2.45, the Player would receive 2.45 points
Incorrect Tip0 Points
Drawn MatchThe number of points awarded to all Players will be equal to the dollar value of the final TAB Sportsbet fixed odds price at kick off of the lower price team. E.g. if the two teams were priced at $1.50 and $1.80 respectively, the Player would receive 1.50 points
Bonus for correctly tipping ALL winners in a Tipping Week 5 Points
Non-submission of tips for any given match or Tipping Week The number of points awarded will be equal to the dollar value of the final TAB Sportsbet fixed odds price at kick off for the lower price team for each match where tips are not submitted, capped at a maximum of 7 points per Tipping Week
Correct Margin Bonus There is no points bonus for correctly picking the Margin. The Margin is only relevant in the event of a tie-breaker
Non-submission of Margin Prediction The average Margin Score for the Tipping Week amongst all other Players will be awarded (the "Average Margin Score"). The average is based on all Margin Scores recorded from all Players in that Tipping Week
Late Entry during Regular Season The number of points awarded will be equal to the dollar value of the final TAB Sportsbet fixed odds price at kick off for the lower price team for Tipping Week missed by the Player, capped at a maximum of 7 points per Tipping Week. The Player will be awarded the Average Margin Score for each previously completed Tipping Week before the Player completed the Registration Process.
How we use your Margin Prediction The Margin Prediction is used as a tie-breaker, should more than one entry be ranked equally based on Correct Tips. The cumulative Margin Score for a participant is the total of all Margin Scores awarded for all completed Rounds to date. The lowest Margin Score and Cumulative Margin Score is ranked highest. Ranking of participants from the last Round completed will appear on this website.

    For entries received after the first Tipping Week has been completed, Players will be awarded a score for each Tipping Week missed. The score a Player receives for each Tipping Week missed will be calculated in accordance with the "Non-submission of tips for any given match or Tipping Week" and "Nonsubmission of Margin prediction" formulas set out above.
