I seem to remember someone running an Aussie Rules tipping competition over the
network last season, but haven't seen anything like it so far this year.
Not being one to stand such deprivations ;-) I'll run it myself.

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).

Tips will be counted as from Round 6, but you don't have to enter each & every
week.  The software has been tested moderately well, but if you see this post
before Monday afternoon (20/4), send in some selections for Round 5 so that we
can have a practise. [No prizes :( ... too poor.  But think of the glory...]

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'.

Round 5 (home team always listed first)

Hawthorn     v.  Essendon           (Waverly Park)

19th April
