2025 NHL Playoffs Tipping Competition

The Legendary International Tipping Comp is BACK for Year 6! Will YOU Be the Next Champion?

Forget complicated rules – this is pure, adrenaline-fueled bracket tipping! Simply lock in your picks at each round and rack up points for every correct prediction. It’s quick, easy, and seriously addictive.

Here’s why you NEED to be in it:

  • Cash Prizes GALORE! With a target of over 100 players, we aim for a prize pool exceeding $1,000!
  • Support Aussie Hockey! 50% of the $20 entry fee fuels the development of young ice hockey talent right here in Australia. You win, local hockey wins!
  • Bragging Rights on the Line! Join a global community of hockey fans and see if you can dethrone our past champions: Ashley, Joao, Henry, Gregor and Daniel!
  • Transparent and Fair: Every pick, every standing, and the entire pot will be tracked and shared publicly. Check out last year’s ledger for proof.
  • Easy to Play: No complicated formulas, just straightforward bracket tipping.
  • Fun with Friends (and Side Bets!): Create your own mini-competitions with friends and family! We’ll even track your side bets for you – whatever the stakes (bragging rights, dares, you name it!).

How the Pot Gets Split When the Stanley Cup is Lifted:

  • 1st Place (Most Points): 60%*
  • 2nd Place: 30%*
  • 3rd Place: 10%*
  • NEW: Mid Pack gets their money back. (The player who finishes precisely in the middle of the standings will get their money back.)
  • Last Place must donate $10 more to the cause.

*Tie-breaker: In case of a tie, the prize percentage for the tied positions will be split equally. for example, 1 and 2 are tied, so the pot will be split 45%/45% instead of 60/30.
