Tipping 2020

Scores are live now at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Hydro11 and Corkscrew top scored with 47, Corkscrew along with Caprice and Broughie managed 6/7 and Hydro11 is now up to 3rd place. Dice took over at the top as Stargazer had a poor 30 meaning the whole leaderboard is closing up, the top 10 covered by just 22 points with 3 weeks to go.

Harbour-Auckland beat Northland to secure top spot in the round robin and they will play South Island in the semi-final after they beat Hawke's Bay to push them out of the semis. BOP will play Northland in the other semi.

Higgins and Langakali will contest the TSF Cup final over the next 2 weekends.

...just checking its too late to put my picks in for the weekend?....i have a good feeling

This Mitre 10 Cup is getting as bad as the NRL for tipping upsets all over the place.

Yo peoples! Tipping time. It's been a tricky season for accurate tipping but it has made for a thrilling climax over the next 3 weeks.

In the semi-finals to be the champion of 2020, Harbour-Auckland will play South Island and BOP face Northland. Higgins will play Langakaki in the 1st leg of the cup final.

The individual top 10 looks like this

just put my tips in...a bit late, still nil all

Crap, forgot to tip.

@Tim do it anyway, game still tied!!

The results are in. South Island crushed Harbour-Auckland to reach the final with consistency through the whole team and a lowest score of 34. H-A had 4 tippers below 30 in a disastrous choke for the minor premier winners. Smudge and Kiwiwomble the best scorers and South Island will play Northland in the final after they drew 31-31 with BOP but won as the actual score was 31.4 to 31. Justin77 and TR scored well for Northland and Sportboy and Bay Imports for BOP but just 16 from the usual star Cactus Jack did for BOP.

In the race for the individual title, Caprice shot into the lead with the weekend's top score of 46 (also scored by Stockcar86 who was the only tipper with 6/7). She now leads by 6 from former leader Dice with Broughie up to 3rd with Hydro11 a point further back. 1st to 21st is only a spread of 34 points and with the unpredictable results taking place, it is possible to make up that sort of margin over the final 2 weeks.

Higgins took a commanding 42-30 lead after the first leg of the TSF Cup Final.

@KiwiPie really wish i didn't miss a week

Yep, hard to win if you give a week away in a 10 week competition.

@KiwiPie It’s hard to win without forgetting a week

A late reminder this week - 2 and a half hours to tip

Everything is updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Northland and South Island drew 29-29 in the first leg of their final so all to play for next weekend. TR and Richie passed 30 for Northland, Corkscrew, Broughie and Phooey for South Island but they had to include Kruse's 22.

Individually, Dice and Sportboy tied with 44 points, they picked 5/7 in a tricky week (as did Virgil) and both picking BOP which only 4 did in total. Similarly only 2 went for Southland and just one for Canterbury (surprisingly that was Phooey!)

Dice has shot into the lead now 13 points clear of Broughie with Sportboy a point back and Winger, Caprice and Higgins within 20 of the lead. With so much riding on the games next weekend, it looks like being another tough one so a large lead can be whittled back.

Finally Higgins won the TSF Cup comfortably by 15 points with Langakali runner-up.

@kiwipie Has the league and cup double ever been done? I can feel a big one coming up from me after this last week's miserly 27 points!

@KiwiPie have i done my tips this week?

Propsicle in NPC 2013 and Joan and Mary in NPC 2016 did the double. Nobody has ever retained the cup in NPC until you did it in 2019 and 2020.

It's that time again for the final time in 2020.

Here's the top 10

and the finals for the team events after the 1st leg

I'd be happy with a 32-31 for BOP over Harbour on Sunday afternoon.

@KiwiPie I couldn’t remember if I’d submitted my tips for this week, so if I had earlier please disregard the 1st one and take this latest one as my tips Thanks Again.

just put my tips in...just checked score, nil all...sweet
