“Comp” means a private or public league for entrants to join as individuals.

“Cumulative Margin” means, in respect of an entrant, the sum of the Margin Differences for all rounds as at a particular date.

“Leaderboard” means the Promotion’s overall ladder of entrants ranking.

“Margin Difference” in respect of a Margin Game means, for an entrant that: a. Had correctly tipped a winning team, the difference between the margin nominated by the entrant for that match and the actual margin for that match; b. Has tipped the losing team, the aggregate of the margin nominated by the entrant for that match and the actual margin for that match (e.g. if entrant nominates a margin of 14, and their tipped team loses by 20 points, their ‘Margin Difference’ for the match will be 34); and c. has not submitted a tip for that Margin Game, the average margin of that game.

Method of entry 

To enter, an entrant must, during the promotional period:

A. Register their details via the online registration form located on the Middy's  website https://middys.yourtipping.com/.

B. Entrants will have the opportunity, in respect of each Match in each Round of the AFL Season, to tip by selecting a team that the Entrant expects will win  the Match (a draw cannot be selected) and submitting those selections via the Middy's Website at which they registered. Selections for each match must be submitted before the scheduled start time of the relevant match.

An entrant may make or change a tip for a given match in a round at any time prior to the scheduled starting time of that match.

Scoring

Entrants will be allocated ONE (1) point for each correctly selected winning team for a match. This is subject to the rules relating to failure to tip as below.

In the event of a match in a given round being drawn, cancelled, abandoned, not completed or not played for any reason, and the AFL does not officially declare a result within ONE (1) day of the original scheduled date of the match, it is treated as a win for both teams competing in that match.

Round & Season Ranking
The Promoter will maintain ONE (1) leaderboard for the AFL season for the duration of the season. The leaderboard will rank the entrants from highest to lowest based on their scores. To determine the ranking of two or more entrants that have an equal score, the entrant with the lower cumulative margin (i.e. the sum of the margin differences for all rounds as at a particular date) will rank higher than other entrants with corresponding equal scores for the round and the season ranking.

Failure to Tip
If an Entrant: A. does not submit a tip for a given Match in a Round, then the Entrant's tip for that Match will be deemed to be for the team determined, in the Promoter's sole discretion, to be the "away team"; or B. does not submit a tip for Matches in an entire Round, the Entrant's tips for that Round will be deemed to be those of the teams determined, in the Promoter's sole discretion, to be the "away teams" up to a maximum of five correct tips for that Round; or C. enters the Promotion after the commencement of the first Round of the Season, then the Entrant's tips for those Matches that have been completed will be deemed to be those of the teams determined to be the "away teams" to a maximum of five correct tips for each such Round.

Maximum  number of  entries

An entrant can only tip once per match per round. 

Determination of  winners

This is a game of skill and chance plays no part in determining the winner.

The winner will be determined as the entrant that has the highest ranking at the end of the last round of the AFL season.

Major Prize:

If there is a tie for any of first place, second place or third place positions then the tie will be resolved by taking into consideration who registered for the competition first.

Minor Prize:

In the event that multiple entrants have the same score at the end of the round, the winner will be determined by the closest margin selected in the first game of each round, then by who registered for the competition first (if required).
