1. One tip per tipster per week. (Tips cannot be modified or changed after being posted UNLESS it becomes apparent that another tipster has the same tip : SEE RULE 6, or under certain circumstances, such as posting for an event which doesn’t take place during the round. Organiser’s ruling is final). This includes tipsters modifying their odds for their selections.1. One tip per tipster per week.
2. No Multi Bets.
3. Bet can be on any sport or bet type.
4. All bets based on a 1 unit bet stake.
5. No live/in running bets.
6. No bet to be the same as any other tipster (from any other league). First in best dressed.
7. No tips posted & completed within the time frame = losing bet (0 points)
8. A yield will be calculated for all tipsters, but the league will first be sorted on points.
9. In the event of equal points and equal yield, the highest accumulative odds will be positioned higher. (This is only likely if tipsters fail to secure a point, ie four people on the bottom with 0 points, which 3 get relegated…)
10. Any void bets will be classed as your bet, buy you will receive your 1 unit stake back which will be counted towards your yield. However this will be counted as a loss (and therefore 0 points). This rule will also be applied to anyone taking a ‘Draw No Bet’ pick when the match ends in a draw.
11. All odds from BETFAIR and other exchanges must be after commission.
12. All bets must be posted with the result to be finalised within the week timeframe, any pending results at time of each Round closure will be classified as a losing bet.

GUIDELINES: (these are not ‘rules’ as such, but will make the comp run smoother).
- When posting your picks, please clearly indicate your selection and bet type (win, draw, over 2.5 goals, line bet, asian h’cap, first goalscorer, correct score etc…), odds and bookmaker, and which event/league your bet is on.
- When your bet is finalised/completed, please post the result of the event if your selection was successful. If your pick loses then you do not need to post anything. Note: Those that don't post the result will be considered to have lost...
- Please post odds in decimal form. All bets/picks should ideally be placed at least two hours before the event begins.
- Feel free to make a short comment about your pick, but please do not review and or debate your selections within the league thread. Feel free to begin another thread for this.
- Accepted bookmakers listed below (please make sure you get odds from one of these bookmakers only, otherwise your bet won’t count):

God i hate spreadsheets. Notes that i feel i need to point out for the general smoothness of the comp: You must select odds from one of the bookmakers quoted in the list at the bottom of the rules. I've allowed a "lull" for last week because i was able to research those that hadn't posted bookmakers with their tips and found better odds ( ). Please remember for future reference that there will not be any leeway for forgetting!
Also, it helps to remember that your tip must be posted AND completed within the week to count.
Lastly, some numbers for round 1: Tips: 40/45 (89%) Winners: 18/40 (43%) Yield: -2.62 (-6.55%) Best winner: Ron @ 4.56 Smart Bet Award: Has to go to Skittle for the Hull +0.5 vs. Spurs @ 2.3 on Betfair. Genius Scary Money Award: My selection of Liverpool away at Man City @ 2.3 with paddypower.
