Help

To enter, fill in the entry form (in the 'Make Your Picks' menu) by selecting the outcome of each game.

Make your picks for any week at any time. For example if you plan to be away from the office for week 5 and 6 of the competition you can submit your picks for those 2 weeks before you leave.
 

Please be sure to enter your contact details (Change Details Menu) as we will use these details to remind you when your picks are due.

Competition Points

Points will be awarded according to the score as at the referees full time whistle indicating the completion of the match. This includes extra time (if any). To receive points for any match you must first correctly predict the winning team (or draw) for that match.

The winner/s for each week will be the player/s with the most points from the week. 

The Joker Option

The Joker option gives you a chance to gain extra points (1) for correctly predicting the winner for a chosen game. Beware!... If you get your prediction wrong you'll get -1 points for the game.

The number of Jokers playable each week will change and you will be notified of this on the Entry page.

Note: The Joker feature is only optional.  You do not have to play a Joker!


Friday Deadline

The usual cut-off time for submitting picks is Friday 4:00pm giving everyone an opportunity to view and print the Picks table. After this time games for this week are automatically locked out on the entry form.
If you haven't submited your picks you will get the equal low points for that week. Throughout the competition there may be occasions when the cut-off time will change. You will be notified when this happens.


Making and Changing Entries

You may change your pick for any game up until the time that game is locked.

Note: times displayed on the schedule are NZ local times.

Entries must be completed on time. Once a game is locked, you may not change your pick for it. If you did not make a pick for a particular game, it is counted as a loss. If you submit a partial entry and either forget or are unable to complete it, you are still responsible for the entry fee.
