What's the weekly prize?

I'm awarding **50%** of all SBD generated in this post to the upvoter that selects the most correct teams including tiebreaker if required. We also have a bonus 1 SBD for the winner donated by a member of the community @mattclarke He has been kind enough to transfer to our wallet 48 SBD to cover each round of AFL & NRL this season. Also if you're the @footytips AFL winner for the round you will get a entry into the end of season draw for a bonus prize. This will be chosen at random by a computer generated system so everyone has an equal chance. Each time you win the weekly tips you will get and entry so if you win twice over the season you will have 2 entries into the draw!

What's the end of season bonus prize?

A Sherrin AFL Match Ball valued at **$180.00 AUD** and all shipping will be covered to your country as part of the prize. ![4111-ind-17_s1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPxhBaZ7hnA5PEfqqc28Mr6fRs3php9TKeqKc5t3h3M3y/4111-ind-17_s1.jpg)

How do I submit my tips

Check below for this weeks matches in the table. You will need to submit just a single comment with all your tips from each game and your selection in the 2 Tie Breakers. This is so we can work out the winner if there is multiple upvoters selecting the same teams correct.

Can I edit my tips before or during lockout?

No, any editing of tips once submitted will void all selections for the participant.
