the tour is just around the corner and that means that the tipping comp is back again.  this year all proceeds will go towards the uci fundraiser so the comp winners will get a bike related prize instead of cash.

for those that have entered in previous years, the rules and format is exactly the same.  for those that are new to it, i will give you a quick run down.

• through the tab menu, you will find a tipping comp area.
• enter and give your team a name.
• each stage is listed on a separate page.
• to put your tip in, you must add it to the comments before 6pm (perth time) the night of that stage.
• you must put in a tip each stage.
• you can’t tip the same person between rest days.
• your tip accumulates time, points and wins to go towards 4 different comps.

it may seem like a lot of work, but ask anyone that has played and it makes watching the tour more exciting.  you will find yourself willing your guy to sprint for 6th place just so you get points.

the cost of each team is $20 and this will go towards the uci fundraiser.

the stage pages are slowly getting built (some may still show some old data), but it should be up and running before the tour starts (i have a week and a half).

entry is on the main tour tipping home page which can be found via the menu or here.
