Goodness this has been a bruising round. I did a quick calculation of my score and it only just snuck into double figures and I suspect there might a some tippers giving the magical nil total a good nudge. We await KP to post the results of this week's carnage!
I was going to ask - anyone here claiming a good score for this week before I compute?
As predicted, it was tipping carnage out there - only 5 games to score on, nobody at all picked the Jaguares to win, only 2 were on the Bulls so nearly all points were scored for the next 3 games. Leading the lowest scores (and I can't remember a lower score for someone who tipped all games) were Virgil and Broughie with only 2 points. Plenty only had 1 result correct and nobody reached 30 points.
GT12 the only one to get 4 results correct this week but Corkscrew topped scoring with 29 points, through picking the Crusaders as closest game.
All of the top 4 won so the semi-finalists are decided - BOP Chiefs won their first minor premiership and will play Blues B while the Barbarians will play the SunJags.
No real change at the top except for DK falling out of the top 3, Hydro11 still leads by 4 from Dolamite so all still to play for.
In the Sequel Cup, Hydro11 will play Donsteppa in one semi while Triple T or Higgins will play Mikedogz in the other.
Everything is up to date at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and next week's form is ready for tipping.

@dK I'm still thinking there will be the usual conclusion
A rather flaccid week
@taniwharugby What he said - still 3 more rounds including this one.
As we're in playoff mode, a progress update after 2 games. This weekend is already better than last weekend for quite a few people although getting the 2 margins correct was tricky.
Play-offs BOP Chiefs 16 - 15 Blues B
Barbarians 18 - 17 SunJags
Plate Blues A 16 - 14 South Island
Hurricanes Black 14 - 12 Hurricanes Gold
With a maximum score of 20 are Unite, Langakali and Higgins.
Sequel Cup semi-finals
Hydro11 12 v 17 Donsteppa
Higgins 20 v 17 Mikedogz
Scores are in and everything is up to date in the usual place.
Mikedogz gets best score of the weekend with 66, 7 correct results and both category picks as well. He helped the BOP Chiefs to easily dispose of Blues B and reach the final - to try to win their first ever title after losing 3 previous finals. The SunJags put away the favoured Barbarians to reach their first ever final - so there will be a new winner on the trophy.
Overall Mikedogz shot up to 2nd spot, just 2 points behind Hydro11 - this despite missing a week and also scoring 8 in Week 10. Corkscrew also scored well to move level in 3rd with Dolamite and 9 off the lead. Gunner is just 4 back and with 2 weeks to go, one of these 5 should be champion with only DK an outside bet at 22 off the lead.
In the Sequel Cup, it is Donsteppa v Mikedogz in the final over 2 legs.
Scores on doors as I missed that out last time. And honourable mentions in addition to Mikedogz to JK, Tim, Chimoaus, Cactus Jack, Rico#1, TR, J77, Stockcar86 and Broughie who all picked 7/7.

@KiwiPie 7/7 but only 1 margin!
Are the competition stats page all up to date too?
Yes up to date. You're on 60 results and 21 margins.
@taniwharugby A margin means you scored 10 points - correct winner and correct margin.
Late reminder - just over an hour to get tips in.
Everything is up to date and next week's form is live. More later.
