# Welcome to MediaSpy’s 2026 AFL Tipping Competition!

Figured I’d start things off a little early to include the State of Origin! 😃

Rules:

1. Submit your tips prior to the first bounce of each match (polls should lock automatically upon the commencement of each match)

2. In the event of a draw, or cancelled match, all tipsters who submitted their tips in time will be awarded one point.

3. Have fun! 😃

Polls will be posted shortly after he final siren of the last game of the previous round along with the leaderboard.

## Who do you think will win the flag?

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.

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

> Why not ESPN?

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.
