In regards to the Footy Tipping competition,this year I have one 1st prize winner, three 2nd prize winners and one 3rd prize winner. In past years I have divided the prize in percentages i.e 50%,25% and 15%..

Any suggestions on how to divide the 2nd prize when there are 3 winners???.

We also give out the wooden spoon dressed up with a scarf in the 'lossers" favorite team color.

Hi Debbie,

Yes, footy tipping is a large part of the AFL culture. I don't follow it myself but I believe it goes something like this:

- Each week, everyone that is part of the competition 'tips' 9 winners. (There are 18 teams that play each week)

- If you tip a winning team you get 1 point. If you lose, you get none.

- At the end of the season (24 rounds), the person with the highest score wins.

You can also celebrate a winner each week to make it even more fun.

The grand final at the end of the season is a great opportunity for a party and celebration.

Perhaps you could share with us some NF L culture sometime!

THANK YOU Talita...... I'm still confused about the activity. do the residents bet on teams during the season and then have the party & competitions at the end of the season?

Hello, I'm new to this site and I guess a little confused about footy tipping. Is that soccer, rugby or american football?

Hi Debbie,

This activity was posted by a member in Australia - it relates to AFL (Australian Football League), which is a very popular football code in Australia. It is different to soccer, rugby and american football.

We do Footy tipping too in our facility & have special lunch as well we have a footy day we have a special happy Hour at the end of the season Bring in an entertainer and sing all the footy teams songs and we give trophies to the first three footy tipping comp. & medals to all the others that participate .You find some trophy shops when you tell them it is for a nursing Home they will give you discount . Residents love it & enjoy the competition during

the season.

This is a great activity. Have been doing it for many years now We have a big presentation day at end of season with staff dressing up in footy gear.... We have a great day

We also have an AFL footy tipping competition for our Seniors.

We have a wind up at the end of the year. We have secret rounds,

(doing it like the Brownlow)best dressed, Quizzes, pie eating competitions, hand ball competitions, prizes for 1st, second and third, plus a boobie prize. We finish with lunch also with pies pasties etc. Lots of Laughs!!

Cheers Karen
