NRLW tipping
An NRLW tipping competition built for the shortest regular season on this site. Twelve clubs, sixty-six matches, no byes anywhere, and the whole thing sitting inside the back half of the men's NRL season. Fixtures, scoring and reminders under your brand.
Free to start. No credit card.
Every match in the round arrives in your hub with clubs, venues, kick-off times and lock countdowns attached. Twelve clubs across six matches means the round size never changes, from Round 1 through Round 11. Double-headers come through as their own fixtures with their own locks.
NRLW rounds run alongside the men's draw, often at the same grounds on the same days. Fixtures lock individually at kick-off, so an early Saturday NRLW game closes on its own while the men's match that follows it stays open. Reminders go out 24 hours before the first lock of the round and again 75 minutes before.
Results score the moment a match ends. Overall standings, group standings and inter-group rivalries update in real time, and the Monday recap goes out with everyone's score and rank. Across eleven rounds there are only eleven of those emails, so each one does real work.
Eleven rounds and six matches a round is the smallest regular season Fanzava runs. Almost every NRLW scoring dispute traces back to the same thing: there is very little room to recover, and very little separating the top of the leaderboard.
One round in eleven is worth more than double what a round is worth in a men's NRL season. Miss a week and you are not coming back, and people know it, which is why a competition that lets someone join in Round 4 quietly loses them by Round 6. Open registration a fortnight before Round 1, close it at the first lock, and use the finals as your second entry point rather than letting people trickle in.
Sixty-six tips across the whole home and away season is a small number to separate a field on. Under flat points-per-tip the top of the leaderboard clusters hard and finishing level is the expected outcome, not an edge case. Pick the tiebreak before Round 1: margin accuracy on a designated fixture, head-to-head record, or number of perfect rounds. Adjudicating it live on Grand Final day is how organisers lose people.
Around thirty NRLW matches are played as the earlier game of a double-header, with the men's fixture following at the same ground. If you run both codes, a participant sees one venue and one afternoon and assumes one deadline. Lock per fixture, and push a reminder against the NRLW kick-off specifically, or you will spend Monday explaining why a card was half empty.
Six of twelve clubs qualify, over three weeks against eleven home and away rounds. That leaves fewer dead rubbers late than a top-eight competition, but it also means three finals weeks carry serious weight on a very short base. Decide before Round 1 whether the finals are part of the same competition, weighted or unweighted, or a separate three-week bracket.
NRLW sits entirely inside the back half of the men's season and finishes on the same afternoon. Anyone playing both is filling in two cards a week for three months. Run them as two competitions on one hub with separate leaderboards and a single sign-up, so a bad NRLW round does not bury someone's men's season and neither competition has to compete with the other for attention.
A winner in every match, six a round, eleven rounds. Short enough to run as a self-contained winter competition, and simple enough that people who follow the men's game but not the women's still play.
Rugby league scorelines cluster tightly, and with only sixty-six matches to separate a field on, margin is less a novelty than a necessity. Run it on one designated fixture a round and it settles the season without touching weekly points.
One club a round, never twice. Twelve clubs against eleven rounds means the supply of teams almost exactly matches the length of the season, so a perfect run uses eleven of your twelve clubs and finishes with one spare. No other competition on this site is that finely balanced.
Six teams, three weeks, sudden death from week one for four of them. Run the finals as a bracket and give the people who stopped tipping in September a reason to come back for Grand Final day.
White label on every paid plan. Pro and above add a custom domain and a custom email sender, so your competition lives at tipping.yourbrand.com and the Monday recap arrives from your address, not ours.
Locks follow kick-off, not the round. The NRLW half of a double-header closes when it kicks off and the men's game that follows stays open until its own kick-off. Nobody is locked out of an evening game because they missed an afternoon one.
Run NRLW and the men's NRL as separate competitions with separate leaderboards on the same branded hub. Participants sign up once and choose either or both, which is the difference between a second competition and a second chore.
