Tipping 2020

Update 2 is live. @rico1 has the maximum 20/20 and @voodoo is the only other with 2 from 2.

@KiwiPie can you remind us what the games were, and probably who won...maybe even put up the Sky Highlights, cos like, when did rugby finish, months ago wasnt it?

Updated after the 3rd game - sorry for being late.

A big win for the Crusaders - 41/47 had the margin, if you didn't you're an idiot and no wonder you're doing so badly.

Game 4 is in now - Reds 41 Bulls 17. Only Hooroo picked the margin and moves into the top 10. 5 went for the Bulls, Laurence, Stockcar86, Bones, Mikey07 & Richie.

Game 5 has been updated - Joan and Mary has lost the lead to Higgins and is losing the cup final to Triple T. Not picking the Blues to win, a sound option in recent seasons, has proved her undoing.

The final results are posted up now.

If the season doesn't start again, Higgins will be the champion, Barbarians will win the league and Triple T the cup. If Super Rugby does complete the season then we will decide what we do at that point.

Stay safe people

Yessss My picking names and jerseys beat @taniwharugby throwing darts strategy

@dogmeat my method pays off over a longer comp, not this shortened version!

@taniwharugby there's no comp long enough dart boy!!!

[ignores fact we both finished in bottom 10]

VICTORY!!!

@dogmeat #notfuckinglastthough

So shall we resurrect the tipping comp for 13 June? What's the view on whether we carry on with the current comp or start a brand new one?

I've put up an online form so you can vote on it.

@KiwiPie New one, def a new one...

@taniwharugby
I forgot. Am I winning? Not likely so yeah, a new one.

Not a massive number of votes but it is clear - the 2020 competition is ended with Higgins the champion, Barbarians the team champs and Triple T the cup winner.

A new competition will begin when the matches begin and we will just make it a battle of individuals in case we don't get enough returnees to form the teams. With just 2 games per weekend, look out for a new scoring system to test your skills.

Cool. Like getting bonus points for getting both results wrong?

We're live again! Still the same link https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

A new tipping form and spreadsheet have been created so enter your tips now at

Changes are as follows

• No team competition, you're all just playing for yourself for these 10 weeks.

• 80 points per weekend - double points for picking winner and margin as before so 40 points for the 2 games. 8 more categories of 5 points each.

• For a team score, you score 5 for being correct or within 1, 4 for being 2/3 out, 3 for being 4/5 out etc etc. So if you're 10 or more away you get zero.

• For team tries, you score 5 for being correct and 2 for being within 1.

The first game is on Saturday at 5pm so you have until then to submit.

@KiwiPie wow those new options make this game that much easier!

Is @Crucial restarting the Superbru competition?
