******* WELCOME *******
to our R23 tipping competition
Everyone is welcome to enter.
There's a full set of eight games again this week.
There are therefore no byes and there aren't any more in 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 10th August

ROUND 23 QUESTIONS:
*Poll Competition:
How many teams will score 25 points or more in NRL Round 23?
- 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 23 2012
*Points Competition
How many points will be scored by all the teams added together in R23?
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.
*Home Win Competition:
How many HOME wins will there be in NRL R23?

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!

Good Luck everyone!
It's been a great Olympic games. How good it is to see such a high level of investment in sport and sporting facilities.
What a positive few weeks of media coverage it has been - almost a clean break from European economic woes. Would be great if that could continue!
What a great sport Nicola Adams is - great achievement, great personality, and modesty.
What a great runner Usain Bolt is - great achievement, and we are missing your entries in our tipping competition this season.
