Okay, Chuck's shot to an early lead, but still a LONG way to go.

Well done Chuck.
Thought you actually had 16 points.
Don't want to be a spoilsport,but I'd really like to win this one.
Sportz,I'm sure You paid Chucky the mark for tipping the pies by 25+

The edit is because I thought Chuck got 10 points for the Brisbane game.
Did he actually get 12?

Yes, 18 points is correct.

Chuck picked up 12 points for correctly tipping Brisbane by 23 (2 for correct team and margin, 2 points for closest to the exact margin and a further 8 points for actually getting the margin spot on). That might seem like a bit much, but it's no easy task to correctly pick an AFL margin to the exact point. As I said, I didn't expect the extra 8 bonus points to go off so soon, but it just shows that it can be done and it's an extra incentive to the rest of us. Also means we've got plenty of time to catch up to Chuck and there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to do that Mo.

beat me...i though it was 3 for winner and margin!

Well themz da rulz!

Sympathies to Jack and Kiwi who had missed the correct margin by a solitary point and ended up with only 2 points.

Come on round 2.

All matches
Pick the winner but get the margin wrong: 1 point
Pick the winner and get the margin right: 2 points

Match of the week
Be the closest to the exact margin: 2 points
Get the margin exactly right: a further 8 points

Yes, I agree that's certainly unfortunate, but when you think about it, isn't sport like that? One point can make a huge difference. You lost your bet in the Punter's comp by one point and it was the difference between a $117 profit and a $20 loss.

Ooops, sorry about reminding you of that.
