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:

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

COSTS:
Nil for Aussie Sports venues as you will receive a kit within your tipping competition kit from Aussie Sports

This launch party should be held on the first day of the competition, and will be the last opportunity that members have to put in their first round of tips.

• Complimentary Sausage Sizzle/Gourmet BBQ
  
• Free schooner for each tipping comp member redemption (as above)

COSTS:

This cup is to be used for years to come, with yearly comp winners to have their names engraved on the trophy with the year that they won.
