Team champions: Hawke's Bay
Cup champion: Winger
We're probably going to be down on numbers after the url chaos
If you're here most days consider entering. It only takes a minute a week to fill out the answers
All of the NPC sides for round one can be found here:
First game is tonight, so get your tips in today
Currently we have 25 tippers. Last year was 41
Many of the missing names are people who haven't found the new url yet. So some new tippers would be helpful.. it works better with more people
Up to 31 now. I have limited access (from Fiji) but if someone can post in the main forum or on the relevant match threads that would be good.

Entered. I'm fairly confident of finishing at the bottom of the tipping table.
You'll have some stiff competition. I tipped the first round before the teams were released.
Kick off time is less than an hour away now and we still need more tippers. KPs competition is unique in that it is both a teams event as well as having an individual competition so it is twice as fun!!! With the change in URL we are still missing quite a few regulars so the call goes out to all you others that contribute to this great forum but have yet to put their thoughts into action by backing your judgement as to who you think should win each game. Now is the time to put that to the test.
Each Provincial Team has a maximum of six players but just the top five each week count towards the team total and at this stage there are teams that are hovering around the four tippers at this stage so please help out if you can.

Even if you miss the deadline for the first game you can still enter with the game you miss being recorded as a default Away 17+ score @Dan54 can't be too far away from joining in this year..........
@taniwharugby Interesting to note seemingly perennial top contender @winger has not fronted yet but he tends to be a very late tipper each week so there is still time he may front up. If not then it opens the competition up a bit more! My guys look to only have four starters at this stage so I've got my fingers crossed someone might front up late in the piece to fill the squad out without having to rely on the draft organised by KP.
Edit: And as I wrote the above Winger does front up. Still it is small consolation that he can't improve on his finishing position last season when he sneaked ahead of @Donsteppa to win the thing right on full time.

I vaguely recall the result effectively being staked on the NPC final. I went double or nothing on that one 
Silver Fern is only tipping I ever go in. Have to miss this one as I maybe away for a part, and just find it too hard to do tips when I not home.
The results are live for week 1. Bookmark this link as they will appear here every Sunday/Monday https://silverfern.rugby/tipping/
@ploughboy is our early leader. 5/7 results with 3 margins was enough for 47 in what was a low scoring week. 6/7 was the best for @justin77 who was 2nd with 46 (not enough margins) and 3rd is @Laurence with 40 - only 4/7 but all with a correct margin. Also getting 5/7 were @trooa and @BorderJB in 4th and 5th. 3 players picked only 2/7 (which given Taranaki and Hawke's Bay were banker home wins was pretty poor!) and worst was @Yeetyaah with just 15.
Still time to join if you want to, you will get 10 for the first round. All players (43) have been assigned a team - BOP, Counties-Waikato & Wellington have 6 as they were popular and their spares have been drafted to other teams. Narrow first round wins for Hawke's Bay, BOP, Wellington and a convincing win for Wairarapa Bush over South Island for whom every player scored 27 points.

the link was working fine earlier on but failing for me now.
When was it working?
@Kirwan was doing something last night. He'll fix it soon
