Hey peeps

Is anyone able to create a tipping comp for the 9's.
I've tried to see how to set one up but being technologically challenged, couldn't work out how to do it.

If someone has the time, patients and knowledge, it wld be great if one cld be set up.
I was going to have all prelim games Only so you wld have to pick all games up front (sat and sun) before the first match is played.

Just thought it wld be a bit of fun with the winner taking bragging rights.

I'll have a stab at it.

Following the lead up to this years tourney, I'm predicting the following for the future of the Nines-

Watered down teams- The Panthers got away with sending a pissweak* team, expect everyone to follow suite next year.
More retired stars- 2 last year, 2 this year, I wouldn't be surprised if there a +6 next year. Great publicity, don't come under salary cap, are expendable.
More late pullouts- This will become very common. Name a team with big names, get a pat on the back, and as we edge closer to kick-off, slowly withdraw them for questionable reasons.
Coaches stay home- Come March, after Broncos fail to start the season running, Bennett will have a cry that his involvement in the Nines, All Stars, WC Challenge and trials disrupted his pre season and will pledge to send assistant Kevvie Walters the following year. Other teams will follow suite.
'Legends' will become coaches- Heck if we can send retired players, and leave our coaches at home, why not send our legends as guest coaches! Roosters quickly draw up a contract for Fittler.

* When I say pissweak, I meant on star power, not on talent. Panthers could win the thing for all we know.

Yeah it's interesting, Addy. I have a feeling more and more clubs will treat it the way AFL clubs treated state of origin in the end.

Well someone already had that bit of foresight so had the Clubs agree to be contractually obligated to meet minimum requirements on the 'star power' of their squads. Hopefully by the time thats up such things won't be needed anymore as the tournament can stand on its own.

And/or the money will be big enough to get established players wanting to play.

Also unless I'm gonna track a tipping comp in a spreadsheet I can find anywhere to set up a 9s tipping comp.
