How It Works Scoring Sports FAQ

Three Simple Steps

Start tipping in under 2 minutes a week

Pick Your Winners

Select who you think will win each match in the round - just like regular tipping. Easy.

Rank Your Confidence

Assign a confidence rating to each game. Your highest number goes on your surest pick. Your lowest on your riskiest.

Win (or Lose) Those Points

Get it right? You gain those points. Get it wrong? You lose them. The ladder shifts every single round.

How Scoring Works

Every confidence rating is a calculated risk

These are the default rules for Overall Site Competitions. When you create your own comp, you can customise these settings.

Correct Tip

Earn points equal to your confidence rating. A correct tip with rating 8 = +8 points.

Incorrect Tip

Lose points equal to your confidence rating. An incorrect tip with rating 8 = -8 points.

Unique Ratings

Each confidence rating can only be used once per round. No doubling up on your 9!

Drawn Games

If a game ends in a draw, you receive 0 points — no gain, no loss.

Missed Tips

Miss a game? You'll be auto-assigned the away team with the lowest available confidence. Miss more games and your confidence assignments increase.

Finals Included

We don't stop at home & away! Tipping continues through finals until a grand finalist is crowned. The fun lasts the entire season.

Yes! You can join competitions for AFL, NRL, and BBL. Each sport has its own Overall Site Competition and you can also create or join private competitions for any sport.

You can modify your selected teams and confidence ratings before each game starts. However, once a confidence rating is used in a game that has already started, that rating can't be reused in the same round.

During bye rounds and finals, the number of available confidence ratings matches the number of games played. For instance, if there are 4 games in a round, you will only have options 1 to 4 for your confidence ratings.

You can join anytime! If you start late, you'll begin with zero points. For our major prizes in the Overall Site Comps, you must have joined before first bounce/kickoff of Round 1 to be eligible to win.
