Yes we're rolling this out one again - this is your first warning as the pre-season friendlies are on and the comp starts in less than 2 weeks. However that is some South African limbering up that we're going to ignore so the first game you need to top is on Friday 23 February.
I'll post the first tipping form soon and completing it will be your formal entry for the whole season.
Time to make your first picks of the new season - that is your way of registering.
I'll sort the other stuff out as we go.

Me too. Guessing as usual
Are we going to have a Sunjags team?
Yes your team already has the minimum 5 already tipped so you're in.
The Google Drive folder is at http://bit.do/tsf18
or
So far we have the tipping form, the responses so far, and the Squads. The squads are the same teams as last year with names in red that have already tipped. 4 new people who are marked as Others for now while we see how many are in before Friday's first game.
Do your best to spread the word, especially to the regular tippers.
If you don't already belong to the Facebook group it is https://www.facebook.com/groups/590271681147113/ - I'll post reminders in the group and on this thread.

someone in the Chiefs should give that KP joker a nudge
He's a canny player, always leaves it late to tip which is the secret to his unprecedented success.

Great stuff, only 2 tippers from last year failed to turn up and we had some new people to fill the gaps. I've sorted into teams in the Squads document with these changes.
MIkedogz from the SunJags into the BOP Chiefs to replace Midge.
No changes to Blues A.
No changes to Blues B.
No changes to South Island.
No Quarter into Hurricanes Gold to replace Chaz.
No changes to Hurricanes Black.
No changes to Barbarians.
Handsome Ray and Bruce Kenyon into the Sunjags to replace Mikedogz and fill the vacant spot.
Tipping as individuals (for now) are mikeasda34234r4r3 and Winfreux. You can miss one week and not be dropped from a team, miss 2 weeks in a row and you are goneburger.
The reigning champions are Hurricanes Gold and here is a reminder of last season's Top 10
And here's some scores so far - plenty went for the Highlanders 1-8, nobody for the Rebels 25+.
BOP Chiefs 12 - 10 Hurricanes Gold
Blues A 11 - 14 Hurricanes Black
Blues B 8 - 11 Barbarians
South Island 13 - 14 SunJags
These people have 15 and all share the lead.
KP Unite Tim Justin77 Smudge Corkscrew ACT Crusader Plastered Peni Hydro11 Hurrycanes Cactus Jack Bones Langakali GT12 Barbarian Handsome Ray Richie Winfreux
The results are in for Week 1, nobody bagged 7/7 results even though 7 backed the Bulls to win. Plenty picked 6/7. Leading at the moment is, ahem, me - lucky to pick up 10 for Lions as top and Reds as bottom for scoring. Mikedogz the best for margin picks, 4/7 for him.
Big wins for the SunJags and BOP Chiefs, Blues A scraped home and Blues B and the Barbarian drew. Go to http://bit.do/tsf18 for all the details.
BOP Chiefs 48 - 42 Hurricanes Gold
Blues A 44 - 43 Hurricanes Black
Blues B 42 - 42 Barbarians
South Island 41 - 51 SunJags
KP 57
Cactus Jack 54
GT12 54
Smudge 53
Barbarian 52
Richie 52
Unite 51
DK 51
Antipodean 51
Bruce Kenyon 51

Cheers mate.
Amazingly when a team hardly ever beats NZ opposition, the Blues were heavily backed with only 4 of 43 going for the Chiefs. Similarly only 7/43 picked the Reds. Consequently nobody at all has 2/2 so far and many have 0/2. Best on 12 points are Mikedogz, Virgil, Phooey, Winger, Paj, Bones and Richie.
BOP Chiefs 7 - 7 Hurricanes Black
Blues A 5 - 6 Barbarians
Blues B 3 - 4 SunJags
South Island 4 - 6 Hurricanes Gold
Disappointingly all the new tippers failed to tip in the 2nd week. If you know who they are, can you drop them a line as I can't find a matching user on TSF.
