Hello all. I’m trying to move the tipping competition online so that results and leaderboard can be automatically updated.

Just go here*, create an account, submit your tips for this round, and you’ll be in.

Once you’re in, I’ll manually backdate previous tips so that your point count is maintained.

Yep same issue, I’m going Crows.

Why not ESPN?

apologies for the balls-up in the first poll, everyone!

that’s what I was thinking, if we were going the automated approach

they sent me a PM that was swiftly deleted, so while i do appreciate the intention of this, i just feel like i didn’t get enough time to respond with my thoughts, as i was working (and still am now, but taking a quick break to address this)

If we did want to move to ESPN, or this service, let me know.

Because it - I assume - does not allow manual backdating.

So moving there would void the entire ongoing progress and reset the leaderboard to zero. I don’t want that.
