******* WELCOME *******
to the R20 tipping competition
If you are reading this is you are welcome to enter.
There's a full set of eight games again this week.
There are therefore no byes and there aren't any no until the end of the regular season..



Entries are allowed each week up until the kick off of the first game in the round
The first game this round is on Friday 20th July

ROUND 20 QUESTIONS:
*Poll Competition:
Which game will produce the smallest total of points (both teams scores added together)?
- enter in the poll itself at the top and put your answer in your posting.

Now for the main event of the week:
*Match Tipping Competition:
Name the 8 (that's EIGHT) winning teams in NRL Round 20 2012
*Points Competition
How many points will be scored by all the teams added together in R20?
This is a competition in itself and will act as a tie breaker for the match tipping comp if necessary. This is used as the decider when necessary so do give it a go.
*Away Win Competition:
How many AWAY wins will there be in NRL R20 2012?

In rounds where the game is on the road and played at a neutral venue, the team named first in the fixture will be regarded as the home team for the purposes of this competition.

Fixtures:



Animated awards will be given for the winner(s) of each competition question.
Match tipping scores are added together to produce the Tipsters' Ladder which is pinned to the top of the forum topic list page.
The best of luck to everyone.
Enjoy your Rugby League!

The R20 tipping story so far:

In a nutshell we are not quite actualising the maximum capacity of our potential level of achievement at this moment in time.

As we approach the last game of the round, Kiwityke is in an unassailable lead having already scored 4/7. His nearest rivals have a quietly understated 2/7

Most of us have gone for a Cowboys win tomorrow!
