THE NRL season might be over but the football fun and games are far from finished with the 2008 Rugby League World Cup less than a month away from kicking off.

Teams from Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, France, Scotland, Ireland, England and France will contest the Cup with a sprinkling of NRL stars throughout the international teams.

RLWC matches will be played in Brisbane, Townsville, Rockhampton, the Gold Coast, Newcastle, Gosford, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne culminating in the sold-out final at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium on November 22.

Fans can get really involved with the RLWC by playing The Courier-Mail's RLWC Fantasy and Tipping competitions and with $2500 to be won in each competition it will be well worth their while.

Go to http://rlwctipping.couriermail.com.au/ to register for RLWC Tipping and http://rlwcfantasy.couriermail.com.au/ for RLWC Fantasy.

HOW TO PLAY:

RLWC FANTASY

Based on the highly popular NRL Fantasy and Tipping games, the RLWC versions will be fun, easy to play and will carry attractive prizes.

There wll be a few mechanical and rule changes for RLWC Fantasy, the most notable being that players will have to start the competition with no more than two players from the competing nations, meaning they will not be able to "stack" their fantasy team with Australians.

There will be no salary cap and participants will be required to select a run-on team of 13 players, made up of three front rowers/hookers; three backrowers; a halfback, five-eighth, fullback and four centres/wingers. They will select a captain who will score them double points.

RLWC Fantasy will be broken down to five weeks (or phases) with limited trades as follows:

Week 1: October 25-27.

Trade period 1: Maximum four trades, maximum of two players from one country remains.

Week 2: October 31-November 5.

Trade period 2: Maximum six trades, restriction lifted to three players from one country.

Week 3: November 8-10.

Trade period 3: Unlimited trades, restriction lifted to four players from one country.

Week 4: November 15-16.

Trade period 4: Unlimited trades, restriction lifted to seven players from one country.

Week 5: November 22.

HOW TO PLAY:

RLWC TIPPING

The tipping competition will be split over four rounds and players will be asked to submit a margin in one match each round.

They will be able to update their tips right up until kick-off in each match.

A bonus of two points will be awarded for a perfect round but no points will be awarded for missed tips.

Round 1: October 25-27.

Round 2: October 31-November 5.

Round 3: November 8-10.

Round 4: November 15-22.
