"Margin Difference" means the number of points between the margin entered by the Participant for the team they tip to win and the actual margin for the round. The Margin Difference will be calculated depending whether the Participant has tipped the winning team for the Margin Game. If the Participant has tipped the winning team for the Margin Game, the Margin Difference will equal the difference between the actual margin and the margin entered by the Participant.

Employees of the Promoter and its agencies associated with this Promotion including Sponsors and their immediate families are ineligible to win any of the prizes. Entry into the Promotion is free.

4] Entry into the Promotion is available for the Code and closes one hour before the scheduled or rescheduled starting time of the first game of Round 23.  

5] To enter the Promotion for the Code, a Participant must: 
a) register their details via the on-line registration form located on the Web Site; and 
b) for each Round, make a selection of the teams the Participant tips to win and the margins by which it is expected the winning teams’ scores will exceed the losing teams and submit that entry via the Web Site in the manner and within the time frames set out on the Web Site. A draw cannot be selected as a Match selection. 

6] A Participant may register either their own personal details for participation in the Promotion or enter a Group registration containing the Group name and personal details of each Participant within that Group. The Promoter however reserves the right not to accept for registration any Participant or Group if the registration contains anything slanderous or defamatory or is otherwise unsightly or unacceptable to the Promoter in any way. Only individual Participants are eligible to win prizes in the Promotion.

7] Participants will be allocated one point towards their Score for each correct selection of a winning team. Participants will be ranked firstly by their Score, where the highest Score is the highest rank. In the event of a Match in a given Round being drawn, cancelled, abandoned, not completed or not played for any reason and/or a Result is not officially declared within three (3) days of the date the Match was originally scheduled or rescheduled to be played, it will be treated as a win for both teams competing in that Match. 

8] A Participant may make or change a tip for a given Match in a Round at any time prior to the nominated game commencement time as published on the Website.  Under no circumstances will tips be accepted after a game has commenced. 

9] If a Participant: 
a) does not submit an entry for a given Match in a Round, then the Participant's tip for that Match will be deemed to be for that of the team determined to be the "away team"; 
b) does not submit an entry into the Promotion for a given Round, the Participant's tips for that Round will be deemed to be those of the teams determined to be the "away teams" to a maximum of five correct tips for that Round; 
c) enters the Promotion after the commencement of the first Round, then the Participants tips for those Rounds that have been completed will be deemed to be those of the teams determined to be the "away teams" to a maximum of five correct tips for each such Round. 

10] The weekly winner will be determined by the Participant's Score for that Round and then by their Margin Difference for the same Round and then by their Accumulative Margin. Where Participants have identical Scores, the Participant with a lower Margin Difference will be ranked higher than those with a higher Margin Difference. Where the Participants have identical Scores and identical Margin Differences, and subject to Condition 13, the Participant with a lower Accumulative Margin will be ranked higher than those with a higher Accumulative Margin. Prizes and their values (if any) for the weekly winner are as set out on the Web Site for the Code. 

11] The ranking of the end of season winner for the Promotion will be determined firstly by the total Score for all Rounds, for all participants, and then by the Accumulative Margin, for all participants. Where Participants have identical Scores and identical Accumulative Margins the Participant with the lowest weekly Margin Difference for the final Round will be ranked highest and will be the end of season winner.

12] In the event that: 
a) two or more Participants have an equal highest rank, then the winner will be decided by the date and time they initially signed up for ‘WA’s Richest Footy Tipping 2013’. The Participant who signed up the earliest will become the overall winner for that week.
b) if a winning Participant or Participants is or are unable to accept a prize for whatever reason, the Promoter will award that prize to the Participant or Participants who meet the eligibility criteria and would have been deemed to be the winner or winners had the winning Participant or Participants not participated in the Promotion.
