2018 Tipping Competition -T-shirt prize!

[dwpeate Profile]

Greetings all fellow/prospective tippers!

The time is almost upon us for the 2018 Competition to begin. I shall be uploading fixtures shortly.

For new participants:
In order to participate you need to follow these steps:
1. Go to the tipping page: http://t2rugby.com/tipping/
2. Create an account for the tipping page.

For people that have played before - your account already exists.

You can read more information about the scoring and ranking system and other information here: tipping/rules

You have to press "Save" after making your picks otherwise your picks will not be saved and will not be taken into consideration.



The winner of the 2018 International Rugby Tipping Competition will get his favorite nation's rugby T-shirt (the winner can pick any nation, provided their T-shirts can actually be bought from somewhere online and costs up to 70-ish euro shipping included).


Good luck!
