About the World Tipping Competition
Like most great ideas, the WTC was born over a few beers at a pub back in 2012. At the time, Thommo was the live-in caretaker and clubhouse manager at the Cottesloe Rugby Club. He’d heard about a similar comp over on the east coast, but figured it could be done bigger—and definitely better. While pulling beers behind the bar, he started sounding people out to see if there was any interest. Turns out there was: 19 punters signed up in year one, 14 of them tied to the club.
With help from Scott Whiston and Dan Turco, the events were selected—usually on AFL Grand Final day, or “Man Day” as it quickly became known—fuelled by a few Bloody Marys at the clubhouse.
From there it has gone from strength to strength. Below is the official non-statistical history of the WTC.
