picking top and bottom scorers helps alot!
-
-
seems the BLues managed to fool quite a few of us...or was it the Lions that have everyone fooled?
-
Apologies, was processing the scores and accidentally set a narrow away win as a narrow home win meaning we all scored way too many! Will have to revisit and start again tonight.
From an initial look, Chiefs picks were good, a few missed out by going for the Crusaders, more by going for the Sharks and even more by going for the Blues. Nobody picked the closeness of the Lions win, only Donsteppa and Waynes World went for the Reds and a lot bombed out by picking the Rebels. Pretty poor picking of top and lowest scorers as well - it's a low scoring week!
-
Right scoring all sorted so here we go.
Gunner led all scoring this week picking 6/7 for a total of 45 points. Rico was the only other to 6/7 and he was level with Smudge 3 points behind with Skudderstep the only other player to reach 40.
Fiamacho is the new leader of the "lowest score while tipping every game" list with just 12 points - he only picked the Highlanders and Lions to win. Victor went low with 16 and there were a fair few under 25.
Overall, I'm still out in front, 22 ahead of TR who is 10 ahead of Rico in 3rd. Paj moved into the top 10 and Smudge, Virgil and Gunner rose into the top 20.
Close matches all round with wins for the unbeaten Barbarians, South Island, Blues B and BOP Chiefs. The Canes teams both lost to tumble out of the top 4.
Only 6 matches next weekend so 2 more of those terrible category picks - closest game and team to kick most penalties.

c'mon tippers, not many have tipped yet this week!!
-
There's some guessing shit in there; most penalties kicked?
-
@antipodean so you aren't guessing who wins the games too?

Obviously. But more guesses lessens my score!

I'm open to creative ideas of what to ask when there aren't 7 games in the weekend. Most brainfarts would be a good one although a little subjective in the measuring! -
It's been an easy week for picking the winner so far with just one game left. The game with the largest percentage of losers was Canes v Highlanders where 15% picked the men from the south. So being 5/5 is unremarkable as most of us are. Those with the best margin picks are
Winger 42
Fiamacho 39
No Quarter 39
Stockcar86 39
Victor 39The scores could change a lot on the category picks and the Chiefs were a popular choice for top scorers and a few combined this with the Sunwolves for lowest scorers.
Blues A, Canes Gold and Canes Black have all 5 scoring players with 5/5 so far.
BOP Chiefs 31 - 25 South Island
Blues A 35 - 32 Blues B
Hurricanes Black 35 - 35 Barbarians
Hurricanes Gold 37 - 31 SunJags -
And the final game is the upset, and of the 9 who tipped the Jaguares nobody picked the margin. Registering 6/6 were TR, Rico, FarNthHayden, Hooroo, Antipodean, Stockcar86 and Justin77. But the top scorer was Dogmeat, by virtue of picking Chiefs as top scorers, Sunwolves as low scorers and Stormers v Reds as the closest game. (Jaguares kicked the most penalties with 3 - picked only by Rico and Gunner.).
Hooroo was 1 behind Dogmeat on 51 with Winger, Barbarian and Hurrycanes on 47.
Not much change at the top, I lead TR by 20 who is 10 ahead of Rico. Virgil moves into the top 10, Hooroo jumps 16 spots to 13th and Dogmeat 11 places to 32nd. Lowest scorer was Richie with just 20 with Phooey on 22.
2 draws in the league, Barbarians with Canes Black and the also the Blues derby. Comfortable bonus point wins for the high scorers Canes Gold and BOP Chiefs.

Stat time ...
Rico#1 leads in results picked - winner selected correctly in 27 of 33 games.
Bruce Kenyon still the only one with 2 x 50+ scores.
Barbarians still unbeaten after 5 weeks but 2 draws and no bonus points is preventing them leading. (A team gets a bonus point when they are 3 or more margin picks ahead of their opposition)
It is the TSF Cup this weekend, the ties are as below (based on your score for the previous round). Winners go through plus 8 best losers - a draw means both players go into the losers pot to compete with their total.

He'll struggle to keep his place in the TSF tipping team for the international season - while the winners of the last 3 years (Winger, Hydro, Barbarian) are all around the top, Donsteppa's fall from grace has been mighty .... luckily for him, there are still 2 worst than him in the BOP Chiefs.
