AFL NAB Cup Preseason Tipping Challenge
Here is a simple tipping game for the AFL preseason competition. It is similar to the NCAA tournament or the soccer World Cup tipping as you fill in all the results before the competition starts.
Just copy and paste the schedule below, and fill in who you think will be the winner for each game. Starting with the second round, you then pick between the two teams you had winning in the previous round. For example, in week two the winner for game 9 of the NAB Cup will be between the winners of game 5 and game 3. Then after going through all the games you select the winner of the NAB Cup. It is unlikely to be needed, but for a tiebreaker to see who wins the tipping the score for the NAB Grand Final can also be guessed. Just copy the list of games, select who you think will win all the games and then post it in the comment section for this post.
Make sure you have posted your selections before the games start on February 23. To determine a winner for the tipping challenge, points for picking each game winner will be given. 1 point for predicting the correct team in week 1 games, 2 points for week 2, 4 points for week 3 and 8 points for correctly predicting the NAB Cup winner.
