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.
