6 To enter any Promotion for any particular Code, a Participant must:
a) register their details via the on-line registration form located on the Web Site
b) for each Round, make a selection of the teams the Participant tips to win and the margin by which they expect the winning team’s score to exceed the losing team’s score for each specified Margin Game, and submit that entry via the Web Site.

12 If a Participant does not submit tips for a given Match in a Round, a default Score will be allocated via the following method:
a) If the Participant has not entered one or more tips for the Round, they will be deemed to have picked the away team for the untipped Matches in that Round.
b) In the case where a Participant does not submit a Margin tip for a Margin Game, their Margin tipped for that Margin Game will be deemed to be twenty (20)
c) Should a Participant enter the Promotion after the commencement of any Round in the Season, then the Participant will receive the lowest Score for each Round missed and a Weekly Margin of twenty (20) for each Round missed.
13 In order to determine the results in each Round, Participants will be ranked:
a) firstly by their Score for the Round, where the highest Score has the highest rank;
b) then, in the case of a tie, by each Participant’s Weekly Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Weekly Margin has the highest rank;
c) then, in the case of a further tie, the Participant who completed their tips for that round the earliest will be deemed to have the higher rank.
Weekly rankings for a given Round will be determined within 48 hours of the last Match of the Round ending.

End of Season rankings will be determined within 48 hours of the final Round of the Season being completed. In the case where prizes are awarded to Season place winners, the prizes will be awarded to the Participants with the highest rankings, in descending order, based on this clause 14. NRL participants are ineligible to win a major prize unless they have tipped for 1 or more Matches in at least 16 different Rounds of the Season.
