I noticed that my current score of 10 on Stampboards Tipping is different than on the AFL Tipping website where I have 12? I picked the same teams both weeks on both sites, so being new I'd like to know why this could be?

Appreciate the help, Thanks.

Yep, 2 draws, 2 points so far this season. Stupid really, you should only get a point for picking the winner and, in a draw, there is no winner.

Glen, unfortunately there is always an attrition rate in this contest, as I know from previous years. Several of the starters did not post in Round 2, and as per the rules, if they do not post again on the thread, will be removed after Round 4. But, yes, around 70 permanents at the moment.
