Thanks @KiwiPie. Excellent standard as always. And well done to the winners

Me for comeback of the year. It was a long drawn out plan, but the only way I could see getting a gong. If this doesn't work I'm poked 😆

I've never done one but it looks fun. Details?

I've just reactivated Superbru NPC from last season - if you played (8 of us were in) you will have been sent an invite. If you want to join ....

Join Fern NPC, my Bunnings NPC league on Superbru! You can find my pool here:

1.8m sports fans have played Superbru. Set up private leagues and win great prizes.

or by downloading the Superbru app and searching for the pool with code:

Well played Hydro.

@kiwipie thanks as always KP!!

Covid threw out some challenges, dampened enthusiasm, but yours is the only comp I do all the time!

Wrong thread!

@Higgins said in Tipping 2020:

@kiwipie KP, have you devised anything for this Super Season? It will be a bit difficult given there only appear to be four games each week (and only two in the first week which kicks off in just seven days time) so not sure if you can come up with a format to make it challenging given so few games are to be played each week.

As @taniwharugby says, I ran a comp for the 10 rounds of SR Aotearoa last year where I massaged your picks into a maximum of 80 points - 20 points with the usual scoring for the result of each game. 5 points for 8 categories - pick the points for all 4 teams and the number of tries for all 4 teams. I'm happy to do that again and ignore Aus and SA. And no team tipping comp unless we get enough interest to have 8 teams.

Last season the final top 10 was

Winger 426
Joan and Mary 416
Virgil 415
Kruse 414
Langakali 408
Higgins 403
Dogmeat 402
Paj 397
TR 395
Sportboy 393

I'll start a new thread for 2021 in the coming week.

@KiwiPie thanks again KP, super comp.

Thanks for the comp @KiwiPie, awesome as usual!

Better wrap this one up now the domestic season is done. Really close for most of the season but our champion is Boongalaulau with Higgins 2nd and Mary 3rd.

@taniwharugby said in TSF Mitre 10 Cup Tipping 2018:

@kiwipie I reckon me, J77, FarNorthHayden & Gunner would all have been in the 2008 squad!

It was the fresh face of Fiamacho that helped though

I dug it out of the archive - Northland team photo from 2008 (man, look at those hairstyles) along with their overall placing

The Champ is Here 2
TR 6
Duluth 15
D-Up 25
J77 27
FarNthHayden 47

67 person comp that season. Overall winner was Brakdov with DK, BobbyDigital and Tim rounding out the top 5.

Thanks! @KiwiPie

OK I set up a Superbru Pool as that takes no time at all and I am already picking for Mitre 10 Cup. Register and I will sweep up and approve later on.

Well done again KP

One caveat much as I enjoy the comp I think it should end when the international break falls

Mind you I think Super Rugby should end then too

Agree.

Thanks again KP

<p>A bit of a mixed start but the canes blacks have yet to break their duck. Come on guys, pull your socks up and come out fighting against the Blues Bs and give them a real hiding. Gibbit, making sure you get your tips in before 7.35pm tonight will be a good start! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Golds can be forgiven if they have a bit of an off round, given they are up against my Barbarians team that they beat in last season's final so if one or two of you have a stinker it would be appreciated!</p>

<p>shame the game history doesn't go back to show my ceiling when I got 2nd <span style="font-size:8px;">(or was it 3rd) <span style="font-size:14px;">for the 2005 Lions tour in the whole massive huge as world! </span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:8px;"><span style="font-size:14px;">Woulda won if I'd picked So'oialo in the last game instead of Jerry IIRC.</span></span></p>
