*** REPOST: The last one had an extra game (Fitzroy playing twice) ***

Here are the matches scheduled for the forthcoming weekend in the Australian
Football League:

Round 6 (home team always listed first)
-------
24th April
Sydney Swans v.  North Melbourne    <-- 'North Melb', not 'Nth. Melb'
25th April
Collingwood  v.  Hawthorn           (Waverley Park)
Essendon     v.  Melbourne
Carlton      v.  St.Kilda           <-- note no space between 'St.' and 'Kilda'
26th April
Richmond     v.  West Coast Eagles
Geelong      v.  Fitzroy
Adelaide     v.  Brisbane Bears
Bye: Footscray

This is the first 'real' round for anyone interested in the tipping competition.
Last week was only a trial, and probably just as well -- what a swag of upsets!
For those who saw my last post in time to participate, the winners were
Essendon, Footscray, Sydney, Adelaide, Collingwood and St.Kilda.  The Brisbane-
WCE game was a tie (so you'd get a point no matter which team you picked).
The full summaries start next week.

How to play.
-----------

The instructions are simple -- send Email to
  u906586@franklin.cc.utas.edu.au

with your AFL tips in the body of the message.  Enclose your selections by
lines of three asterisks on their own (see example below).
Make sure you use the team's proper name (e.g. Essendon, not Bombers or Dons)
but don't worry about precise spelling: only the first four letters are looked
at, case insensitive.

You are identified by your Email address -- only one entry per address per week
is allowed.  Entries should be received by 5 pm Friday afternoons AEST
(AEST = GMT + 1000).  You don't have to play each & every week, but if you do
post selections, the software expects you to tip every game.

Each Monday or Tuesday (approximately, and provided the software holds out!) I
will post the results from Saturday, the games scheduled for the following
week, and some basic instructions for 'newies'.

Example tips:
***
North Melbourne (under the lights at home)
Hawthorn (can't keep them down for too long in a row)
Essendon
Carlton (same as Hawthorn)
Richmond (on the up)
Geelong
Brisbane
***

Any enquiries should be directed to
  justin@tasman.cc.utas.edu.au
and not to the address for tips displayed above.

Have fun.

Justin Ridge.

Hi again, everyone.
Since starting the AFL tipping competition a few people have pointed out that
John Marinopoulos of Monash has one under way.  To clear up any confusion, here
is a summary of how things stand:

When I set up my competition, I was not aware of John's since we haven't
received any posts in rec.sport.football.misc or aus.footy.  This is because
John's competition is now closed: he is not accepting any new participants and
therefore isn't advertising it.
I will be continuing my competition to cater for those who are not already
involved in John's and would still like to tip (me included.. heh).

If you are not in John's competition, I'd encourage you to join mine.  I'm not
looking to poach those already in the other one (I'm not competing with him).
Of course I suppose its possible to be in both... :-)
Seriously, I am not trying to run John out of a job, just setting up something
to meet a perceived need.

Hope this clears up any queries.

Justin R.
