Where matches are re-arranged, points will be allocated to profiles as per the date when the match is actually played. 
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 to be played, it is treated as a win for both teams competing in that Match for the purposes of calculating each entrant’s score.

7.2 Tipping Round Winner: After completion of the last Match in Tipping Rounds 1-26, the eligible entrant ranked highest for that Tipping Round will be the "Tipping Round Winner" for that Tipping Round and will be awarded the Tipping Round Prize for that Tipping Round (as set out in Condition 8.1 below). If, however, there is a tie for the highest ranking eligible entrant for a Tipping Round, the entrants will be ranked based on the Weekly Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Weekly Margin has the highest rank. In the case of a further tie, the entrants will be ranked by their Total Margin for the Season to date, where the lowest Total Margin has the highest rank. In the case of a further tie, the entrants will be ranked by whichever entrant registered first (either in a current Season or a previous Season). 
There will be no Tipping Round Prizes awarded for Tipping Rounds 25-28, but entrants will still earn Tipping Scores for those Rounds to go towards their Overall Tipping Score.
If a Tipping Round Winner does not claim their Tipping Round Prize by the date 3 months after the date on which they were notified in accordance with Condition 1.7, they forfeit all entitlement to their Tipping Round Prize and subject, where relevant, to any directions given under the legislation regulating this promotion, that Tipping Round Prize will be awarded as follows: the remaining entrants will be ranked based on the Weekly Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Weekly Margin has the highest rank. In the case of a further tie, the remaining entrants will be ranked by their Total Margin for the Season to date, where the lowest Total Margin has the highest rank. In the case of a further tie, the remaining entrants will be ranked by whichever entrant registered first (either in a current Season or a previous Season).

7.3 Overall Tipping Prize Winner: After completion of the last Match in all Tipping Rounds, the eligible entrant ranked highest for the Season overall (ie the highest ranking entrant for the Code Competition as defined in the Tipping Rules) will be the "Overall Tipping Prize Winner" and will be awarded the Overall Tipping Prize set out in Condition 8.2. In the event that two (2) or more Tipping Profiles have the same number of points, the entrants will be ranked based on the Total Margin for the Season, where the lowest Total Margin has the highest rank. Then, where entrants have identical Scores and identical Total Margins, the entrant with the lowest weekly Margin for the last Round within the Season will be ranked highest. In the event of a further tie, the entrant with the lowest Weekly Margin for each preceding Round, in reverse chronological order, will be ranked highest until the tie is broken. 
If the Overall Tipping Prize Winner does not claim the Overall Tipping Prize by the date 3 months after the date they were first notified in accordance with Condition 1.7, they forfeit all entitlement to the Overall Tipping Prize and subject, where relevant, to any directions given under the legislation regulating this promotion, the Overall Tipping Prize will be awarded as follows:

Then, where remaining entrants have identical Scores and identical Total Margins, the entrant with the lowest weekly Margin for the last Round within the Season will be ranked highest. In the event of a further tie, the entrant with the lowest Weekly Margin for each preceding Round, in reverse chronological order, will be ranked highest until the tie is broken.

7.4 Participation Prize draw winner: The Participation Prize draw will be held at the time and the date specified in Condition 1.6. The eligible entrant whose entry is first drawn, will win the Participation Prize set out in Condition 8.3.

4.2 For each Tipping Round, entrants will be required to select the margin for a relevant Match (which is determined by the goal difference between Team A and Team B). At the end of the Game, the accrued margins for each entrant will be calculated (“Total Margin”). A margin is required for the Margin Game in each Round, as specified on the website. The “Margin Game” means the Match selected by the Promoter in a given Round for which entrants are required to select the winning margin. 
For each Tipping Round in which an entrant wishes to submit tips ("Tips"), the entrant must submit their Tips for each Match in the Tipping Round prior to the Deadline for the Match (see Condition 1.3). The manner in which Tips are to be made is explained in the Tipping Rules.  The Tipping Rules also explain how Default Tips are generated if Tips are not expressly made.

If a registered entrant changes their Tips for a Tipping Round, only the most recently entered Tips have effect and each registered entrant will only receive one (1) entry to the Tipping Round. 

4.4 If an entrant does not save any Tips when the Deadline for a match has passed, the Away team will automatically be allocated as the Tip for that entrant. If no Away team is allocated or if the Round is a finals Round, then no tip is allocated. If the entrant does not submit any Tips for a particular Round, the entrant’s Tips for that Round will be deemed to be for the away team in each case, and the entrant will be limited to a maximum number of Tips for that Round as defined on the website. If no Away team is allocated or if the Round is a finals Round then zero Tips are allocated. If the entrant enters the promotion after the commencement of the first Round, then the entrant’s Tips for those Rounds that have been completed will be deemed to be for the Away teams, and the entrant will be limited to a maximum number of Tips for each Round as defined on the website. If no Away team is allocated or if the Round is considered a finals Round then zero Tips are allocated.

4.5 If an entrant does not save a margin prediction then they will not score any points for the margin prediction. They will however, still receive points for their Tip.

4.6 When an entrant submits their first Tip in this Competition, they will automatically be allocated one (1) entry into the Participation Prize Draw.

4.7 Each profile will automatically be entered into the overall ladder for the Game, however entrants can also enter their profile into a private group for their friends (“Private Competition”). To do this, entrants must log onto their profile and visit ‘Private Competition Admin’ under the ‘Ladders’ section of the website. Entrants can join up to ten (10) Private Competitions. Once an entrant has joined a Private Competition they cannot be moved or deleted from that Competition. Each Private Competition must have a minimum of five (5) users to qualify as a Private Competition. Any group which does not have the required number of users will not qualify as a Private Competition. Private Competitions winners will not receive any prizes. 
If an entrant attempts to become part of more than ten (10) Private Competitions, or if an entrant is not conducting themselves with “Good Sporting Conduct” (including, without limitation, where one user manages all of the profiles in that one Private Competition or where the Promoter believes that transfers are being made in multiple Private Competitions by any one manager) then the Promoter may, in it’s discretion, remove the entrant from the Game. 

4.8 Only the registered entrant may make changes to his/her Tips. Any entrant found to be managing a profile that does not belong to them, on behalf of another Game player or without their knowledge, will be removed and no eligible to win any prizes.

4.9 Any cost associated with accessing the WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS Tipping Website or Mobile Site is the entrant’s responsibility and is dependent on the Internet or Mobile service provider used.

4.10 Incomplete, inaccurate or corrupted entries will be deemed invalid. The Promoters decision is final.

4.11 An entrant may make or change a Tip for a given Match in a Round at any time prior to the scheduled commencement time for that Match.

5. LIMITATIONS ON ENTRY

Each entrant will only be allocated one (1) entry into the Participation Prize Draw no matter how many Tipping Rounds they enter.
The use of any automated entry software or any other mechanical or electronic means that permits the participant to automatically enter repeatedly is prohibited.

7. SELECTION OF WINNERS 

7.1 Entrants will be ranked after the completion of each Tipping Round in accordance with the Tipping Rules. Points will be awarded as follows: 1 point for correct result Tip (win/draw); 0 points for an incorrect Tip. The results used for the game will be those initially reported by the key news agencies. If any decision is reversed from what was initially reported points already awarded to profiles will NOT be amended. Where matches are re-arranged, points will be allocated to profiles as per the date when the match is actually played. 
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 to be played, it is treated as a win for both teams competing in that Match for the purposes of calculating each entrant’s score.

7.2 Tipping Round Winner: After completion of the last Match in Tipping Rounds 1-26, the eligible entrant ranked highest for that Tipping Round will be the "Tipping Round Winner" for that Tipping Round and will be awarded the Tipping Round Prize for that Tipping Round (as set out in Condition 8.1 below). If, however, there is a tie for the highest ranking eligible entrant for a Tipping Round, the entrants will be ranked based on the Weekly Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Weekly Margin has the highest rank. In the case of a further tie, the entrants will be ranked by their Total Margin for the Season to date, where the lowest Total Margin has the highest rank. In the case of a further tie, the entrants will be ranked by whichever entrant registered first (either in a current Season or a previous Season).

If a Tipping Round Winner does not claim their Tipping Round Prize by the date 3 months after the date on which they were notified in accordance with Condition 1.7, they forfeit all entitlement to their Tipping Round Prize and subject, where relevant, to any directions given under the legislation regulating this promotion, that Tipping Round Prize will be awarded as follows: the remaining entrants will be ranked based on the Weekly Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Weekly Margin has the highest rank. In the case of a further tie, the remaining entrants will be ranked by their Total Margin for the Season to date, where the lowest Total Margin has the highest rank.

In the event that two (2) or more Tipping Profiles have the same number of points, the entrants will be ranked based on the Total Margin for the Season, where the lowest Total Margin has the highest rank. Then, where entrants have identical Scores and identical Total Margins, the entrant with the lowest weekly Margin for the last Round within the Season will be ranked highest. In the event of a further tie, the entrant with the lowest Weekly Margin for each preceding Round, in reverse chronological order, will be ranked highest until the tie is broken. 
If the Overall Tipping Prize Winner does not claim the Overall Tipping Prize by the date 3 months after the date they were first notified in accordance with Condition 1.7, they forfeit all entitlement to the Overall Tipping Prize and subject, where relevant, to any directions given under the legislation regulating this promotion, the Overall Tipping Prize will be awarded as follows: 
the eligible entrant with the next highest ranking for the Season overall will be the Overall Tipping Prize Winner.

Then, where remaining entrants have identical Scores and identical Total Margins, the entrant with the lowest weekly Margin for the last Round within the Season will be ranked highest.

Each Private Competition must have a minimum of five (5) users to qualify as a Private Competition. Any group which does not have the required number of users will not qualify as a Private Competition. Private Competitions winners will not receive any prizes. 
If an entrant attempts to become part of more than ten (10) Private Competitions, or if an entrant is not conducting themselves with “Good Sporting Conduct” (including, without limitation, where one user manages all of the profiles in that one Private Competition or where the Promoter believes that transfers are being made in multiple Private Competitions by any one manager) then the Promoter may, in it’s discretion, remove the entrant from the Game. 
4.9 Only the registered entrant may make changes to his/her Tips. Any entrant found to be managing a profile that does not belong to them, on behalf of another Game player or without their knowledge, will be removed and no eligible to win any prizes.

7. SELECTION OF WINNERS 
7.1 Entrants will be ranked after the completion of each Tipping Round in accordance with the Tipping Rules. Points will be awarded as follows: 1 point for correct result Tip (win/draw); 0 points for an incorrect Tip. The results used for the game will be those initially reported by the key news agencies. If any decision is reversed from what was initially reported points already awarded to profiles will NOT be amended. Where matches are re-arranged, points will be allocated to profiles as per the date when the match is actually played. 
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 to be played, it is treated as a win for both teams competing in that Match for the purposes of calculating each entrant’s score.
7.2 Tipping Round Winner: After completion of the last Match in Tipping Rounds 1-18, the eligible entrant ranked highest for that Tipping Round will be the "Tipping Round Winner" for that Tipping Round and will be awarded the Tipping Round Prize for that Tipping Round (as set out in Condition 8.1 below). If, however, there is a tie for the highest ranking eligible entrant for a Tipping Round, the entrants will be ranked based on the Weekly Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Weekly Margin has the highest rank. In the case of a further tie, the entrants will be ranked by their Total Margin for the Season to date, where the lowest Total Margin has the highest rank. In the case of a further tie, the entrants will be ranked by whichever entrant registered first (either in a current Season or a previous Season). 
There will be no Tipping Round Prizes awarded for Tipping Rounds 19-21, but entrants will still earn Tipping Scores for those Rounds to go towards their Overall Tipping Score.
If a Tipping Round Winner does not claim their Tipping Round Prize by the date 3 months after the date on which they were notified in accordance with Condition 1.7, they forfeit all entitlement to their Tipping Round Prize and subject, where relevant, to any directions given under the legislation regulating this promotion, that Tipping Round Prize will be awarded as follows: the remaining entrants will be ranked based on the Weekly Margin for the same Round, where the lowest Weekly Margin has the highest rank.

7.3. Overall Tipping Prize Winner: After completion of the last Match in all Tipping Rounds, the eligible entrant ranked highest for the Season overall (ie the highest ranking entrant for the Code Competition as defined in the Tipping Rules) will be the "Overall Tipping Prize Winner" and will be awarded the Overall Tipping Prize set out in Condition 8.2. In the event that two (2) or more Tipping Profiles have the same number of points, the entrants will be ranked based on the Total Margin for the Season, where the lowest Total Margin has the highest rank. Then, where entrants have identical Scores and identical Total Margins, the entrant with the lowest weekly Margin for the last Round within the Season will be ranked highest. In the event of a further tie, the entrant with the lowest Weekly Margin for each preceding Round, in reverse chronological order, will be ranked highest until the tie is broken. 
If the Overall Tipping Prize Winner does not claim the Overall Tipping Prize by the date 3 months after the date they were first notified in accordance with Condition 1.7, they forfeit all entitlement to the Overall Tipping Prize and subject, where relevant, to any directions given under the legislation regulating this promotion, the Overall Tipping Prize will be awarded as follows: 
the eligible entrant with the next highest ranking for the Season overall will be the Overall Tipping Prize Winner. If, however, there is a tie for the eligible entrant with the next highest ranking for the Season overall, the remaining entrants will be ranked based on the Total Margin (defined in clause 4.2 below) for the Season, where the lowest Total Margin has the highest rank. Then, where remaining entrants have identical Scores and identical Total Margins, the entrant with the lowest weekly Margin for the last Round within the Season will be ranked highest. In the event of a further tie, the entrant with the lowest Weekly Margin for each preceding Round, in reverse chronological order, will be ranked highest until the tie is broken. . 
7.4 Participation Prize draw winner: The Participation Prize draw will be held at the time and the date specified in Condition 1.6. The eligible entrant whose entry is first drawn, will win the Participation Prize set out in Condition 8.3.
If the Participation Prize Winner does not claim the participation Prize by the date 3 months after the date on which their name was first published online in accordance with Condition 1.7, they forfeit all entitlement to the Participation Prize and subject, where relevant, to any directions given under the legislation regulating this promotion, a re-draw will be held from the other entries included in the original draw to select a replacement Participation Prize Winner. If required, this draw will take place at the time and date specified for an unclaimed Participation Prize in Condition 1.9 and the first of those entrants to be drawn will be the replacement Participation Prize Winner.
7.7 The Promoter's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. 
7.8 It is a condition of the awarding of each prize that the winner must, if requested to do so by the Promoter, sign and return any Affirmation of Eligibility to Enter, Ownership of Entry, Release and Compliance statements provided to the winner by the Promoter. The failure to return the signed statements will result in the entitlement to the prize being forfeited and the selection of another winner.
