We may be IT freaks, but we still love our sports. Especially Rugby. And maybe NRL. Anyway, Lancer2K, with the help of 2Dogs, has set up a ripper tipping comp for this year's World Cup. It's a chance for Atomicans to pit themselves against fate, as well as the roentgens.
THE RULES! 1. All tips must be in by 9PM Atomic Forum Time (AFT) the day before the first game of the round. (See below for the dates for each round, and NO excuses from you Queenslanders OK!) 2. If your tips are late but are in BEFORE the first game of the round starts then you'll be penalised 50% of any points earned. 3. A correct tip is worth two 'roentgens' ('roentgen' being a unit of radioactivity). 4. A perfect round of tips will earn you a bonus of four 'roentgens'! 5. For the sake of transparency, 2Dogs and I will post our own tips on the Forums so that there can be no accusations of rigging. 6. The tipper who greenest GLOW wins! 6a. All New Zealanders MUST tip Australia in the final IF it's Australia vs New Zealand! (Heh, just kidding!)
THE PRIZES! FIRST PRIZE: A one-year Subscription to Atomic Magazine (thanks to AJB Publishing) + SERIOUS BRAGGING RIGHTS! SECOND PRIZE: An Atomic Stockpile (to keep those mags in top nick) and an Atomic CD Stash Master! (Thanks to Ben Mansill.) THIRD PRIZE: A spindle pack of 25 CDs (TDK Gold 80) WOODEN SPOON: Three Atomic stickers (donated by Lancer2K), and a bucket of shame!
For example, if I was putting in my tips for round four, they might look like the below:

As you may notice I have nominated ONLY the team I think will win in each game. -- Lancer2K
