Happy New Year yawl!

Well it’s back for season 2015 - the tipping competition with a difference. No need to pick your tips week by week - you pick them all before the season starts!

Now in its 8th year, From Long Range (FLR) is a competition available exclusively to all Blitzers. Originally conceived and run by Mero, FLR provides you with something to do in the off season, as well as an interest during the season no matter how the Bombers are going.

Past winners include:

2008 Mero
2009 swoodley
2010 #11
2011 Red Rover / Plugs
2012 WindyDill
2013 Paddyl90
2014 Ivan

Last year’s prize was ALL FOUR Essendon records from the 1993 Final Series. This year we also have a ripper 1st prize - Issues #1 AND #2 of the Bomber magazine from 1995! Longy & Hirdy - who wouldn’t want these two mags in their collection?

Most of you know how it goes, but for those who don’t, here are the rules and instructions:

1. You must be a BomberBlitz member to play.
2. Download the entry spreadsheet from here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/92660724/FLR%202015%20-%20Your%20BB%20Name.xls
3. Rename the file with your BomberBlitz name.
4. Select the predicted winner (or draw) for each of the 198 matches of the season. Note: You may have to “Enable Editing” to be able to make your picks.
5. Email your entry to BomberMcVeigh @ Gmail.com (without the spaces)
6. You must do all of this BEFORE Thursday 2nd April, 19:20 (start of the season) Any entries received after this time will be ignored.
7. Any games that you don’t select a winner for will be assumed to be the AWAY team.
8. Only one entry per Blitzer, including those with multiple personas.
9. In the event of a tie, all winners will be recognised in the honour roll however due to the uniqueness of the prize, there will be a countback for the prize winner with the tipper with the most "9"s, “8”'s etc. being the winner.
10. Darren Bewick.
11. Any ■■■■■■■■ or correspondence will probably be ignored.
12. Entries will be recorded in the opening post as they have been processed.
13. Anybody who wants their “ladder” can request that in their entry email.
14. Progressive results will be published after each round in this thread.

That’s it. Any other rules I have forgotten will be made up as required.

Go for it! Last year we only had 59 entries - hopefully we can top that this year.

19

Only reason Ivan won it last season is because I didn’t enter, so consider yourself lucky :stuck_out_tongue:

Will def be joining this year. Thanks for the hard work Bomber McVeigh.
