TSF Tipping 2022

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.

Yeah I peaked to early...

it's a problem

As advertised - tipping is live for Week 6 - get to it

An hour left to tip

A low scoring weekend as there were almost no points scored for the category picks and nobody went 6/6 given the Canes defeat. https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Top scorer was Kruse with 44 who was one of 5 who picked 5/6 (the others were Hydro11, John Nolan, Victor & JK). If you forgot to pick you scored a big fat zero as Stockcar86 managed to score only 4 points with a full set of picks - simply outstanding! That is a low score that will be tough to beat.

Canes4 life still leads by 4 from Hydro11 who shot up to 2nd with Hurrycanes up to 3rd. Only 35 points covers the top 25 so plenty of opportunity to rise fast. 4th to 19th is just 13 points.

The BOP Chiefs continued their unbeaten run, leadingt from the Barbarians with Canes Gold in 3rd and the SunJags holding the other playoff spot.

The tipping form is live for the weekend ahead, as there are only 5 games there is a double your points option added in.

@kiwipie Just confirming that we are not tipping tonight's game?

@tim Correct - they are playing it again at the weekend which is bizarre.

All the SR sides have been named for the weekend:

The top 32 scorers this weekend go into the first round of the Tipping Cup - tip well.

Now you tell me!

Not that it would make a difference

Get your tips in folks, last call.

@gunner I think that might be a polite dig at you!

Everything is up to date and the new tipping form is live

Quite a variation in scoring as the double point jeopardy and category picks were great for some people and not so good for others. Tim profited the most with 66, to move up from 15th to 2nd overall. 62 for Hydro11, Winger & Richie and 61 for John Nolan were next best.

Hydro11 is the new leader taking over from Canes4life with Donsteppa and Tim in second equal 13 behind. 2nd spot to 12th is just 7 points so it is really easy to move into the top 10 or move out of it.

Wins for the BOP Chiefs and Barbarians keep them at 1 and 2 on the ladder, the next 4 are separated by just 3 points and are battling to stay in or get into the top 4.

Of the people who tipped, the following missed out on the first round of the cup due to a low score

Broughie
Neale Davies
Hooroo
Dogmeat
Fiamacho
Crucial
Waynes World

All of @ACT-Crusader @Hooroo @Waynes-World @Virgil @Smudge @Kiwiwomble @Gunner were missing in action this week - come on guys, there is a lot of season left, stick the course!

The top 2 were the top 2 over the weekend, Hydro11 and Tim both scoring 47. 3rd spot is now me due to having the 3rd best score of the weekend. Hydro11 leads by 13, consistency is the key, 40+ every week so far, nobody else has managed that. Fiamacho was the only one to pick 5/5 but didn't nail a margin. Disaster for Dogmeat with just 14 points.

First round of the Cup is over. Just one draw, Kruse and TR will go to a replay - first player next weekend to get a lead.

First defeat of the season for the BOP Chiefs, beaten by Blues A but they still lead by a point from the Barbarians.
