FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
In the words of the chemical brothers, `Here we go'.
How much and when do we pay for the tipping?
Nothing, it's free and non commercial, as outlined by this response:
From:

> I have received two sites for the tipping - I'll use the one below.

> Also, to whom, how much and when do we pay for the tipping?
Marilyn,
You pay nothing. But, there's a catch, you can't win anything either. It's
basically for the glory.
If you want to play for money, create yourself a group (login, then go to
User/Group from the navigation panel), add users to it and work out the
money between yourselves. You will be able to request results, etc, for
just your group. And you can belong to two groups (e.g. friends and
work) without having to tip twice,
Good luck and please spread the word before the start of the season!
