Hey Aussie Rules Footy fans (or even people who aren't)! The Gimmick is here to launch this year's Buttonhole AFL Footy Tipping contest. Before we get into the prizes, here are the rules:
1. You must be a registered Buttonhole forum member, no outsiders allowed (Yeah that's right, I'm prejudiced!). So, if you wanna join in, you'd best sign up on the forums right away. It doesn't take long to do and it'll allow you to have some fun posting your own comments on the forums whenever the mood strikes you. Besides, you could even win a prize from Sammy just for getting involved on the Buttonhole forums (we've had several recipients of those already).
2. Email me before the start of the AFL season (which means before Thursday, 30th of March) to let me know that you want to be included. In case you couldn't figure it out, you can access my email address by clicking on the "email the author" link at the top and bottom of this article. If we don't have enough people joining in, we'll probably still just run it as a fun thing for those who do wish to do it. If that happens, disregard rules 3-6.
3. You must email me your tips before 6pm on the Friday of each round. I will be posting the upcoming games and the participants totals after each round.
4. Failure to comply with #2 will result in you being automatically designated the away sides for that round.
5. If you miss 5 rounds in a row you will be disqualified, unless you have a really good excuse. (This is where all those years of lying may pay off)
6. Good Luck! Even if you don't know much (or anything) about Australia's unique code of football, why not just have a go? You never know your luck, you might guess enough results correctly and score something for your efforts! Who hasn't had a girlfriend, mother-in-law, crazy uncle, or some acquaintance who did that at some stage?
Now that we've gotten the rules out of the way, we can let you know that the prize for the winner will be a selection of DVD's, Games and or CD's, depending on availability and the winner's preferences, courtesy of the good Doctor (Doctor G Shok on the forums, aka Sammy or Hillelman. Or "the dude with too many names"). So, basically, whoever wins will score a couple of hundred bucks worth of free sh*t for themselves. Entry is free but, like I said, you must be a forum member. I very much hope to hear from you all. Come on folks, have a go!
Sammy's note: And if you are an Essendon supporter, I'll be sure to look after you that extra bit more. Go the mighty Bombers!
