AMOS Weather Tipping Competition launched for 2010
Mon, Mar 22 2010
Following a slight delay this year, the AMOS Weather Tipping Team are proud to announce that registrations are now open for the 2010 AMOS Weather Tipping Competition.
As always, the tipping season will follow the 2010 AFL season which means we will commence on the 27th of March, so there's not much time to sign up for this year's competition (1st forecasts required by 8pm AEST, 26th March). If you're a bit late and register once the season is underway, that's okay - you'll just receive a climatology forecast for the rounds you've missed.
Last year's competition was a great success with one of the highest numbers of participants we've ever had and featuring players from all around Australia and abroad. With such encouraging feedback from players over recent seasons the AMOS National Centre granted the Weather Tipping Team permission to develop a new and improved version of the Weather Tipping site. As always, entry is free. We trust that this new site will make this season's weather tipping competition more enjoyable - plus we now offer paid AMOS members additional “result graphing features” under the “AMOS Extras” link.
If you'd like to participate this year then please follow the new link (please update your bookmarks) or perhaps forward this on to anyone who might be interested:
