What’s the Margin?

For each round you are required to select a 'margin' for the first game. Simply enter in the amount you think your selected team will win by.

Your weekly margin which you receive for the round is the distance between your selected margin and the actual margin for the game.

For example, if you pick Team A to beat Team B by 10 points and Team A wins by 5 points your weekly margin will be 5.

If Team A were to lose by 5 points, your predicted margin is added to the actual margin so your margin would be 10 plus 5, or 15.

Each round, your weekly margin is added to form your total or cumulative margin. Like in golf, a lower margin score is better than a higher one!

What is it used for?

The margin system is used to rank tippers who share the same number of correct tips. Therefore, the lower your total margin is, the higher you will rank. For example, if you and another tipper have the same score, but your margin is 16 and theirs is 24, you will rank above them.

Your cumulative margin for the season is the small number in brackets after your points score in the ladder. Remember, the lower the better!

So, think carefully about the margin you put in - it could be the difference between scoring some winnings and not!
