Where am I..?? What in blazes is
AFL2*%#..?!!
You're right....what the hell is this...???
What have I gotten myself into..!!
Be agitated, distraught and depressed that you have ended up
here..!
This is gonna cost you money..!! This
is going to make you question your sanity..!!
This is AFL2008..!!
Now that you are here you may as well know why you are doomed.
Read on...(if you can read that is).
AFL is a game which is based on ancient
Greek warfare incorporating Phalanxes, Hoplites, Melees, Behinds
and other incomprehensible manoeuvres under the direction of one
or two miserable cheating little one eyed shits called referees.
(Homer was the first referee..... though in his defence we should
say that he wrote up match reports.)
In the modern game of AFL many people get injured, which is why
Ozies like to watch AFL.
AFL is as close to culture as the average Ozzie can get.......unless of course he is
eating yoghurt.
AFL2*%# is a tipping competition
created especially for the more cerebrally impaired Ozzie.
The competition combines idiotic rules together with ludicrous,
though incisive, commentary on many subjects....most of the
commentary having nothing whatsoever to do with footie.
The hub of AFL2*%# is the Tallyroom
which is manned by JLP and HAL2008, who changes his name
each year much in the manner that a snake changes its skin.
Last century, the Tallyroom was manned by more people.
However, due to the great insurance crisis, the tallyroom
has had to sack half of its key personnel, namely TheSaint
and Multivac, and seconde them to the Tallyroom on
a contractual basis.
Tallyroom.......Is your
entry point to AFL@#$?. Anything you need
to know about the current Tipcomp is usually available on this
page.....sometimes on time.
HowToPlay.....Tells you how
to play
TheRules.........Tells you
the rules
Prizemoney.....This link is
especially designed for those greedy amongst us....it tells you
what positions will earn $$$$'s at seasons end and also how many
$$$$'s each of position will pay.
Our three most prestigious prizes are the Winner, the Woodie and
the Wettie, though it should be noted that the $$$$ allocation to
those prizes will not necessarily reflect their prestige.
GallupPoll....is a link we
use occasionally....noteably when we have a GallupPoll.
A GallupPoll is a question put to Tipsters by Tallyroom personnel.
The whole concept of GallupPolls is to check to see if Tipsters
are bothering to keep their finger on the AFL pulse for the
duration of the season and to make sure they log into the website
each week. There
is never a wrong or right answer to a GallupPoll....rather it is a
litmus test of the opinions of Tipsters in our AFL competition and
to make sure no Tipster has escaped.
Responses to GallupPolls, however inane they may be, earn Tipsters
three points. Non responses to GallupPolls earn
no points. GallupPolls are
usually initiated by the Tallyroom when JLP is in need of points.
Ancient History...For the
more severely handicapped Tipster who has more time than sense we
have included transcripts of AFL tipcomps going back into last
century...all the way back to 1999.
Past Heroes.....Shows the
finishing positions of Tipsters in past tipcomps.
FAQ....................Answers
to frequently asked questions to help Tipsters along lifes tough
road.
WotUsay..........We have
absolutely no idea why we put this link in. Its
very existence implies that there is something of import that AFL
Tipsters actually contribute to the greater good of our society.
However, from our experience no Tipster, other than JLP off
course, has ever said anything worth taking note of.
About.............Where you
are now.
SportsTAB.....For those
Tipsters who like a punt.
TippingLogin....This is the
access point to a super secret site for which information is only
given out on a need to know basis. The site is riddled
with deadlines. This is the site where
Tipsters lodge their weekly tips and place their wildcards.
This is also the site where Tipsters can access the complete
Ladder and also where Tipsters can view what their adversaries
have tipped. There is probably more data
accessible on this site....but JLP cannot say any more.
I am sworn to secrecy.
Any Questions....????
Use The Email Link.
