@KiwiPie So he will end up 6 from 7 then!
Dragged back to the pack. I am guessing plenty on 6/7. Margins will be the difference to with most picking Saders for highest score.
It's all live at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
and last season's winner Hydro11 (and winner 3 out the last 4 seasons) is already out in front. New form is up so get your tips in for next week.

@dogmeat nah I have a process and with the indepth analysis, this is gonna be easy, you wait and see!
tick tock
If that wasn't conclusive evidence for jerseys over darts
I've just seen that I'm "competing" for Blues A - now I'm conflicted as to whether to try to pick correctly or deliberately sabotage my team by picking losers.
Like it makes any difference 
5 hours to get your tips in people

Yeah. “Jeff” and Fiamacho. Your Superbru tips need attention
Some team news - DrivingMaul failed to tip so he has been dropped by Canes Black for Bones who turned up a week late. Nevorian has also turned up a week late and has joined Blues B as they were the only team with 5 - so as of right now all teams have 6 players, let's see if this can last all season.
A few went for the Sharks but only 1-8 - namely Richie, Smudge, Broughie and DK- Smudge leads with 15 as the only one of the 4 to pick the Brumbies 9-16. Everyone picked a Brumbies win so close scores all round so far. Broughie leads overall, posting this in case he never leads again!
BOP Chiefs 9 - 8 Hurricanes Black
Blues A 9 - 9 Barbarians
Blues B 11 - 9 SunJags
South Island 10 - 9 Hurricanes Gold
Broughie 63
Hydro11 62
Langakali 62
Higgins 62
OomPB 62

I expect I'll collapse in the latter half of the weekend.
Please do, we are both on the same score
Results are all in and everything is up to date at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Check out all of the stats as Duluth has done a fantastic job to present them all so well.
Top score of the weekend was OomPB with 47 to take him 7 clear at the top - Stag next best with 45 and only Gunner, Tim and Langakali scored 40 or more. All of those 5 except Stag picked the Bulls as low scorers - Stag picked up 4 maximums including taking the Canes 1-8. He and Tim were the only 2 brave enough to pick the Canes to win.
Langakali sits 2nd behind OomPB and amazingly Sportboy is 3rd, I can't remember him in so lofty a position. GT12 is 4th, Higgins 5th with Stag rising 22 spots to be level in 6th with Joan and Mary. Big rises also for Gunner (28th to 12th) and Tim (40th to 21st). A big fall for Hydro11 from 1st to 27th and also a spot on the lowest scores board with 19 - joining Antipodean who achieved the difficult feat of "beating" last week's score of 21.
I'm assuming the Most points/fewest points on the tipping spreadsheet just doesn't work? As last week it said I had Crusaders as most points which I didn't and now this week it has Crusaders again even though I haven't selected them for most points.

The tipping spreadsheet includes every set of tips made so far this season. You need to go to the end of the spreadsheet to see your latest tips where you'll find you picked the Chiefs ......
@Yeahtheboys said in Tipping 2020:
Are the people tipping the sunwolves taking the piss or am I missing something
Same as my reply to Hooroo - the most recent tips are at the end of the spreadsheet, so from 9 Feb onwards - so far there are 5 picks for the Chiefs and none for the Moondogs.
@Bones said in Tipping 2020:
Can I just say....canes black you were warned.
To be fair, you were the joint 2nd best tipper ... 3 worse than you

Thanks mate. I'm guessing that is the umpteenth time you have had to say that.
@taniwharugby or in two rounds it seems.. Go grey power!
@dogmeat lets talk in 8 weeks, if you can still remember this conversation by then...just getting into form, week 4* I'll be fizzing, by the end I wont even be able to see you in my rear-view mirror!
if by some strange coincidence, my week 4 is no better than week 1 or 2, then I have decided that this competition isnt worth my time and I am dialling it in, just giving folk like you a bit of confidence.
Time to tip everyone, looks like an easy week and only a complete failure will pick less than 7 out of 7 ......

I scoff at your lack of confidence in me. Unlike some on this leaderboard, I have actually won one of these before.
Everything now live at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Best of the weekend was Stockcar86 with 58. Nobody had 7/7 with the Highlanders result catching out most people. Hooroo 2nd on 57 which now puts him level overall with Langakali. OomPB down to 3rd with Joan and Mary in 4th and Higgins in 5th. Hurrycanes, Hydro11 and Dolamite move into the top 10, Stockcar86 up to 11.
The SunJags win again to be 3/3 and top of the table. 4 teams close behind with 2 wins from 3 and the 2 Blues teams and Canes Gold in danger of being dropped.
Only 6 games next week so 2 extra category picks for you to enjoy.
@ACT-Crusader & @Nevorian missing in action this week.

Did I really select Highlanders? I struggle with that spread sheet as the top row doesn’t remain fixed.
Must have clicked wrong button on phone as would never think the highlanders would win
GAH second bloody week on the trot I’ve forgotten to tip and the Friday games were gimmees both times

Nah you picked Crusaders 9-16. I spotted an issue - everyone had bloody edit access on that spreadsheet so it was constantly changing. Fixed that now and have left it with most recent at the top so that this week's tips will be the first one of yours that you find.
Everything is now up to date.
The category picks and the Blues game were the key things this weekend. For category picks, Corkscrew actually got all 4 which was good for him as his tips generally sucked. Antipodean was one of 4 to get 3/4 and made him top scorer for the weekend, a big improvement on previous form. Also 3/4 for mikedogz, Winger and Broughie. Everyone picked the Chiefs to win so no 6/6 in picks this week.
A shift around at the top as the top 3 all bombed and all are now out of the top 5. Moving up to take places 1-5 are Joan and Mary, Higgins, Hurrycanes, Hydro11 and Triple T. Big rises for previous top performers Winger and Donsteppa to just outside the top 10, spectacular falls for Sportboy and Stockcar86, so shocked by their previous lofty positions around the top 10, they now share 34th place.
In the Cup, GT12 won the replay against Broughie by scoring 2 x 10s for the first 2 games. Into the quarter-finals go Triple T, Hurrycanes, Higgins, Victor, DK, Joan and Mary, Caprice and either Langakali or Phooey who drew.
In the team comp, the Sunjags made it 4 wins from 4 by taking down the BOP Chiefs, Canes Black beat Blues B to stay close behind in 2nd (with Blues B 0/4 and last). Wins also for Blues A who go into the top 4 and a first win for the season for Canes Gold.
