TSF Tipping 2022

@kiwipie said in TSF Tipping 2022:

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.

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

Results are updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ with a new form to submit for this week.

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.

First defeat for the BOP Chiefs and you could have made all the difference - but don't feel bad about it.

I've tipped already for this week. I would have got the Cheifs BLues one wrong last week

Here's an early and final reminder to tip ..... https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit

Results are in https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/

Starting with the teams comp, there are 2 more round robin games and then 4 weeks to cover 2 legged semis and finals. The Barbarians have taken over the lead with a win against Blues B while Canes Gold took down BOP Chiefs by a point to move level on points with them, 2 points off the lead. Canes Black hold the other top 4 spot but both the SunJags and Blues A can still make the top 4 with 2 wins in their final games.

It was all about the category picks this week with plenty of points on offer and fairly predictable choices. 20 points out of 20 for Tim, John Nolan, KP and Winger. Top score was 64 for the latter 3 plus Hurrycanes who along with Plasterered Peni and Fiamacho were the only ones to pick 5/5 as not many went for the Blues.

No real change at the top overall as the top 5 all scored 64 or 62.

Through to the Quarter-Finals of the Cup are Tim, Hydro11, Winger, TR, John Nolan, GT12, KP and Higgins.

@kiwipie by far the worst 'winner' in this round of the cup haha

Whats happening with the postponed game

@Winger said in TSF Tipping 2022:

Whats happening with the postponed game

Too late to change the form so it will just be ignored - if I'm in a good mood, everyone gets 10 for that game, neutral mood everyone gets 5, as it is a long weekend it is very unlikely I will be grumpy and give everyone 0.

@KiwiPie YAY Looks like I'm good for at least 5 points

One of my better weeks then...

It's only @broughie who's picked that so far

If he picks something else it should be ok?

@Duluth that figures. The game that was going to propel me front running status is postponed.

You can post your choice for closest game on here if you want and I will adjust your entry. Only other one is Richie who has Moana as low scorers - @Joan-and-Mary can you get another choice posted onto the thread?

And of course, reminder to tip as well https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit

Just to confirm, these are registered as 'home' games for the Chiefs, Moana Pasifika etc as written on the teamsheets?
