How it works?

The contest involves registered entrants submitting picks for the 2025 season NRL regular season games.

For each game during the contest, an entrant must nominate their pick by selecting the team they predict will win the game and the margin they predict a team will win by for a selected game where indicated. 

Tips can be entered up to advertised start time for the game.

After the advertised start time has passed, tips for the game cannot be entered or changed.

Picks are entered for each game in a round before the scheduled start time of that game.

1 point is awarded for picking the winner of the match. If the match result is a draw, no points are awarded for picks in the match. 

A bonus of two (2) points is awarded for picking a perfect round. A margin score is required to be entered for one match in each round. 

The competition commences 2nd March 2025 and ends on the final home and away round on the 7th September 2025. (Round 27)

 For one match in each round you will be required to enter a score margin. The margin represents the amount that you predict your selected team will win by. Your margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the entire competition if the tipping scores are equal. The lower your margin score the better.

Calculating margins

If the team you tip wins the match, your margin score is the difference between the actual margin in the Full Time Score that the team you tipped won by, and the margin your entered. For example if you tipped Broncos

Full time score Broncos 54 vs Cowboys 6

Margin entered 36

Actual Margin 48

Margin Score 48 - 36 = 12

If the team you tipped loses the match, your margin score is the actual margin plus the margin entered. For example if you tipped Cowboys:

Full time score Broncos 54 vs Cowboys 6

Margin entered 6

Actual Margin 48

Margin Score 48 + 6 = 54

If a contestant does not submit any tip for a round, as a penalty, they do not receive points for their first winning tip in that round.
