- Does footy mean AFL or NRL?
- Both, and which one depends on the postcode. In Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory, footy is Australian rules. In New South Wales and Queensland, footy is rugby league. Neither side is wrong and neither is going to change their mind, so if your audience spans the border, run a competition for each rather than picking a fight you can't win.
- Can we run both codes at the same time?
- Yes, as two competitions on one hub with separate leaderboards and separate scoring settings. The Free plan covers one competition at a time. Starter, at A$39 a month for up to 100 participants, runs three concurrently, which covers both codes plus a finals bracket in September.
- What does a footy tipping competition cost to run?
- Free for up to 25 participants, with no credit card. Paid plans start at A$39 a month on Starter for 100 participants and step up through Growth at A$65 for 250 and Pro at A$105 for 500. All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST. Branding, your own domain and larger participant caps are what people upgrade for.
- Do we have to enter the fixtures ourselves?
- No. Australian rules and rugby league both run on the live data feed. Fixtures, kick-off times, lock countdowns and results arrive automatically once the competition is set up, byes included. The feed goes well past the two footy codes too, from the Big Bash and the A-League to Super Rugby, the GAA championships, Formula 1, Supercars and Super Netball, with the full list on the sports page. Custom sports and manual fixture entry are there if you want to run something the feed doesn't cover.
- Can our sponsors appear in the competition?
- Yes. Add sponsor logos from the admin panel and they appear on the leaderboard, in round result emails and in the weekly recap. Prize categories can be configured and funded the same way, so participants can see what they're playing for from Round 1.
