MyTipping iPAD
MyTipping is an App-based tipping competition that can be run through your venues using an ipad. The benefits of this system is the ease of managing the competition, you can dictate the point scoring system of your competition and is user friendly.
This system will cost $500 for software and the additional $750 for and ipad if your venue does not have an existing.

AUSSIESPORTS (manual)
For some venues, a traditional format may be the preferred option for your customer base who may be less technologically savvy. The downside to this system is that there is room for error in scoring and may heighten risk of customer concerns to cheating etc. If your venue has had issues with alleged mis-management in the past, then this would not be the best format for your venue.
Cost - $65 for a 30 player kit or $110 for a 60 player kit.

THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR PAPER SIGN UP FORMS FOR PUBLINC VENUES

Venue Support will run weekly reports to cross check paid members to sign ups in My Tipping.
If any customers have signed up but not paid, they will be removed from My Tipping by the end of Round 2.

Venue support will also manage the reconciliation of entry fee payments, placing them in a holding account.

This will be a big focus of your preliminary marketing when encouraging your customers to sign up - as a gift directly from the venue’s publican.

Please note this as a strategy to directly incentivise sign ups.

Costs:
Your venue has been approved for the following cash contributions, which will be a direct A&M expense.

It gives those that are performing poorly overall a chance to win.

Consider offering the following items as perfect round prizes:

1. $20 Bunnings Gift Voucher

It is important to ensure that perfect round prizes are only available for normal rounds, not bye or reps rounds. This must be clearly stated in your terms and conditions.

If you wish to run this activity, please include in your proposal:

• Expected number of perfect rounds
  
• Perfect round prize description
  
• Terms

Costs:
NIL – this activity will be supplier funded

The last man standing competition essentially runs independent of the base NRL tipping competition.

Mechanics:

1. The concept is that entrants pay an additional fee, say $5 - $20, to enter this competition, which makes up the final prize pool.
   
2. Each week, entrants only need to nominate one team which they feel will win.
3. If their nominated team wins, they proceed to the next round. If their team loses, they are out of the competition.
4. The last entrant left wins the entire prize pool.
   
5. In the event of there being multiple winners left, the prize pool is split between the remaining.

You will be required to manage the registration & monies involved in this competition in the same manner as the base competition.

In your proposal, include:

1. The entry fee you will be charging
2. Whether you require an additional scoreboard for this activity.
