Every round,
a reason to check in.
It works on a group chat that has gone quiet, on people you only just started working with, and on the mate who moved overseas and gets three messages a year. Nobody rings for no reason — so this is the reason, every week, and nobody has to be in the same city. Every group has one person who would actually set it up — in yours, it’s probably you.
You’ll end up watching games between teams you don’t follow, because you said who’d win.
Everyone has a theory about who’ll win. A season-long ladder keeps the group’s stories: the upset someone called, the round everyone got wrong together.
This is the one that organises itself. A minute now, and all season it’s your competition they’re talking in.
One minute to set up. A whole season of catch‑ups.
You bring the people. TippingMates handles the admin. Three steps, then the banter takes care of itself.
Pick your league, name your competition
Choose the league and give your competition a name your mates will actually answer to: "The Cousins", "The Office". Every fixture and kickoff time is already loaded.
Round up your mates
Email them and they’re in the second they sign up. Or drop one link or a short code into the group chat, wherever your friends and colleagues already are — those ones come to you to approve, so your competition stays your people.
Then tip together
Everyone picks before each game locks, with a nudge from the app before the round closes. Scores, results and the ladder sort themselves out, so the group can spend the week on the banter, not the maths.
Try the demo: tip a round of AFL right here.
Real fixtures, three sample mates, simulated results. Pick the winners, watch the points land, and see where you’d sit. Nothing to sign up for.
It’s live. Tap a team on the phone to tip.
When you’re ready, the real thing takes about a minute:
Three questions. That’s the setup.
Three things. Everything else is already sitting there waiting for you — the next games lock 17 Mar 2027.
You decide
- The league and seasonAFL. Already loaded, every round of it.
- A name“The Cousins”. “The Office”. Whatever they’ll answer to.
- Who gets inEmail them straight in, or hand out a code and approve the ones you want.
Already done for you
- Every fixture and kickoff timePulled from the official draw. You never type a fixture.
- LockoutsFive minutes before each game, on our server. Everyone’s on time, automatically.
- Scoring2 points a win, 1 for a draw. Change it if you like — everyone sees the rules.
- The ladderRound totals, season totals, updated the second a game finishes.
- RemindersYour mates get a nudge before the tips close — from the app.
- The mathsAll of it. Forever.
That’s it. If it takes you more than a minute, you’ve spent the time picking the name.
Less work than you thought, isn't it.
Start your competitionThe hard bit was never the tipping
It’s getting six of your mates to do anything at all. So that’s the bit we made easy — one code, they tap it, they’re in. And the ones who come in by code land with you to approve, so your competition stays your people.
One code. They tap it. They’re in.
What it’s like for them
The part you get blamed for. So: no payment screen, no forms, nothing that makes you look like you’ve signed them up to something.
They tap your code
It opens the competition with your name on it. They can see who else is in before they commit to anything. No card, no payment screen — there isn’t one to build.
“oh it’s just Dave’s one, fine”
They pick winners
Every AFL game, two taps each. Their picks stay hidden until the game locks, so nobody can copy the leader — and nobody can accuse them of it either.
“I’m taking Sydney Swans and I won’t be told otherwise”
They follow the ladder
Scores land as games finish and their row is highlighted. Expect screenshots in the group chat, whichever way it’s going.
“ladder’s broken”
Nobody has to have the app before you start, and nobody is ever behind — everyone begins on zero the round they join.
Worried they won't bother? Send them the code and find out.
Get the appYour group’s weekly catch‑up, in one place.
Open it, see where everyone’s at, send someone a message about it. That’s the ritual.
See the lot in one tap
This round, where you sit, what’s live right now. No digging.
It scores itself
Scores land as results come in. Nobody adds up a thing, so nobody has to chase anyone.
The ladder starts the conversation
Round by round and season totals, your row front and centre. Screenshot it for the group chat.
