The Stawell Times News, for the second year is hosting its popular Top Tippa competition.

TopTippa a tipping competition with a twist that gives you a shot at winning $1 million by picking winners throughout the 2014 AFL season.

It's not all about picking the favourites week in week out, knowing your fellow competitors will do the same.

The twist is that you are rewarded points that are based on the actual odds of each match, so it can pay to pick out an underdog every now and then.

The favourite teams are issued with lower points, the underdogs are issued with higher points and if you pick the draw then points issued are even higher.

It gives all those players languishing behind the leaders a fantastic opportunity to catch up by predicting which games could go against the favourites and it means the leaders are constantly looking over their shoulders.

Each week the highest tipper of the round or those tippers who pick the perfect round, will receive a ticket into a weekly TopTippa AFL tournament.

The winner of this weekly tournament will win one night's paid accommodation with the ACCOR Group.

The overall winner of the Stawell Times News tipping competition receives two invitations to the TopTippa AFL Grand Final Experience at a Melbourne CBD Function Centre on the day of the AFL grand final it includes food, drink and overnight accommodation.

Finalists play in a TopBetta tournament where the winner gets one shot shot at the $1 million jackpot, with a guaranteed minimum prize of $5,000.
