TSF Tipping 2022

@bones You are part of the full strength Hurricanes Black so your tips are required, especially after the good start your team had to be in the playoff positions. You need all six members to tip each week to make sure anyone having a stinker can have their score discarded from the five that count toward the match you are playing, this week it is the BoP Chiefs and you need to beat them to shove them into the plate division!

Quite a few others still to tip (myself included!) so come on all of you lot, there is just over two hours until kick off in the first game at 1905hrs NZ summer time.

I voted twice. If possible can I stick with my first selection. That is the Blues to win. Thanks

Lucky you let me know as the default is to take the last selection and the Hurricanes to win!

@bones said in TSF Tipping 2022:

Yeah look with canes black back up to full strength without me, if my tips getting cancelled isn't a sign, I don't know what is.

Just call me joe

@Stockcar86 was late to tip so your score of 29 had to be counted for Canes Black - you still need to tip to make up for the rest of your team slacking.

The scores for this week are live here https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ - you can also tip for next week but might pay to wait a day or 2 in case of cancellation.

Top scorer for the week was Canes4life with 60, just the final result wrong otherwise it would have been a maximum score of 70. Next best were Machpants, Hurrycanes and Richie with Richie the only tipper to pick 5/5 results. Machpants now leads overall 2 ahead of Plastered Peni with Plastered Peni, Langakali, Higgins and DK making up the top 5.

Not registering tips this week were @Samurai-Jack @justin77 & William. Dogmeat was late again, I don't think you're good enough at this to not tip the first game every week!

In the teams comp, the SunJags are top of the table with maximum points - Neale Davies the best of their team overall in 6th place. The Barbarians and BOP Chiefs also have 2 wins from 2 while both Blues are 0/2 along with South Island.

Sorry Mum will try and be a good boy!

Good excuse though....

I've been travelling (imagine that!!!) and have been well beveraged up. Football has been the least of my concerns. I only know two results so far this season and only heard them this morning.

Yeah sorry I'm gonna have to take a sabbatical. Not even going to be watching the Aussie games probably and not paying for 6 games a week and watching two, so 29 is a dream!

All SR sides have named their teams for the weekend. In theory this info should help your picks

This looks like a spot in the Canes Black Team is vacant so time for someone to step up to fill the void, how are you placed @delicatessen? Canes Gold look to have just five on their roster as well so a spot there for one of the other Canes supporters like @foobaNZ @Dan54 @Cactus-Jack @NZbloke @canefan @BerhamporeNinja or one of the many others to step up and show their true colours

and here I was thinking this was going to be a virtual dart board to select my picks, nice to have the teams though

@KiwiPie

Got my tips in a day early.

Just pointing out that one of the margin options is Rebels Force

Good spot - have fixed it now. I often do these things at 5am so always good to let me know when I have stuffed up.

Time to tip everyone.

@kiwipie I forgot mate told myself this morning to do it oh well up submit it for the games tomorrow if you choose to accept it, if not no worries my stuff up.

@mikey07 You can tip late but it means you get given the default Away 17+ for the games you miss, which in this case means you get the ten points for the Crusaders (who just happened to be the away team) game. Not so lucky for the Rebels who were the away side but that doesn't really matter as a fair few of the tips would have been for them and not many for the Drua. Kind of limits your selections in the categories part but that also gives you more scope as 100% picked Crusaders as top scorers expecting them to get about 150 points! Now you can tip your Canes for highest and hope they rattle up a decent number against the Highlanders.

Old news - you get nothing for games you don't tip for. Sorry. You do get the advantage of knowing the scores already for your category picks

@kiwipie Sorry, I misinterpreted the Late Tips bit in the Help tab. I thought it referred to all games missed rather than missing making a selection for upcoming games.

@kiwipie Sorry, I misinterpreted the Late Tips bit in the Help tab. I thought it referred to all games missed rather than missing making a selection for upcoming games.

No you interpreted what it says correctly - I just need to update those rules to reflect the change.

All the scores are updated

A high scoring round as nearly everyone went Crusaders, Moana and their game as top, low and biggest win and although after the game it looked unlikely, all those picks came in. Quite a few also went Blues v Chiefs as closest game for the maximum 20 category points. Nobody managed to pick 6/6 games, the ones who picked the Drua fell down on another game.

Best score for the weekend was Canes4life again with 69 along with ACT Crusader with Triple T, John Nolan and TR on 67. Machpants is leading by 1 at the top but only 4 points separate the top 5 which has Canes4life now up to 4th.

A draw between Barbarians and BOP Chiefs leaves them as the only 2 unbeaten teams.

Another postponement - the Hurricanes game is off - I will work out how to score the points for the categories as it is too late to get everyone to tip again. Might just can the categories for the week and give everyone 10 points instead ....

@kiwipie That sounds ok as there are a fair number with the Canes - MP game as the widest, not to mention highest and lowest scorers. You might want to keep the closest match still operative as no one would have picked the MP game for that so unlikely anyone to be disadvantaged there.

Yep good call.

Firstly missing tippers are @Hooroo @Gunner @Machpants @Kiwiwomble - come on guys.

Yes that is the Machpants who was leading but has now dropped to 16th overall. Crucial had the high score of 57 for the weekend, the only person to pick all 5 games (and only he and mikedogz picked the Chiefs to win). A score of 40 or more was a solid effort. Antipodean managed 47 for second best score and Canes4lfe was 3rd with 46 to take the lead overall, 5 clear of Plastered Peni with Triple T, Higgins & Neale Davies completing the top 5.

The BOP Chiefs are the only unbeaten team and top of the table after defeating the SunJags as Canes Gold took down the Barbarians despite being a player short. Canes Gold are up to 2nd and the battle for the top 4 is between 6 teams with South Island and Blues B trailing.

Ignore that one.

@hooroo Despite this the table-topping BOP Chiefs strode to a majestic victory - squad depth is key!

given up like the highlanders have...also went away for the weekend...and am shit at tipping

@kiwiwomble It is not that hard. Just use simple guidelines like picking the Blues and Crusaders to win each week and the Drua, Rebels, and Manu Pacifica to lose each week and bingo you are almost there with a perfect round!

@higgins im one of those idiots that struggles to "bet" against the highlanders...and so always off to a rough start

OK I'm making the call to have a bye week for tipping this week - with all 3 of the original NZ games postponed and a different game included, it is just getting too hard. Let's reconvene next week.

Awesome. Can I suggest that this week you just add in the same points that people achieved last week as a filler

@crucial I'll post my bank details and you get a point for every 5 dollars you send me. $400 gets you maximum score.

I'd consider it but due to my earlier poor performances even that would probably only lift me to the lower reaches of the top 10.

@KiwiPie Since I missed one round I was keen on this one, the games aren't correct teams?

EDIT: Nevermind still last weeks up, soz

I was just thinking I should post this week's fixtures up - I've seen no cancellations yet? Watch this space.
