@KiwiPie really wish i didn't miss a week
Yep, hard to win if you give a week away in a 10 week competition.

A late reminder this week - 2 and a half hours to tip

Everything is updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Northland and South Island drew 29-29 in the first leg of their final so all to play for next weekend. TR and Richie passed 30 for Northland, Corkscrew, Broughie and Phooey for South Island but they had to include Kruse's 22.
Individually, Dice and Sportboy tied with 44 points, they picked 5/7 in a tricky week (as did Virgil) and both picking BOP which only 4 did in total. Similarly only 2 went for Southland and just one for Canterbury (surprisingly that was Phooey!)
Dice has shot into the lead now 13 points clear of Broughie with Sportboy a point back and Winger, Caprice and Higgins within 20 of the lead. With so much riding on the games next weekend, it looks like being another tough one so a large lead can be whittled back.
Finally Higgins won the TSF Cup comfortably by 15 points with Langakali runner-up.

@Higgins said in Tipping 2020:
@kiwipie Has the league and cup double ever been done? I can feel a big one coming up from me after this last week's miserly 27 points!
Propsicle in NPC 2013 and Joan and Mary in NPC 2016 did the double. Nobody has ever retained the cup in NPC until you did it in 2019 and 2020.

It's that time again for the final time in 2020.
Here's the top 10
and the finals for the team events after the 1st leg
I'd be happy with a 32-31 for BOP over Harbour on Sunday afternoon.

It's all over and Dice managed to hang on to win by a single point from Higgins and Winger, by 2 from Hydro11 and by 5 from Broughie. I can't remember a closer leaderboard at the end of a season. https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
All the scores over 60 came in the final week of the season as many went big on Sunday nailing 30/30 and many also getting Manawatu as low scorers. Despite being in prime position to challenge at the end of Saturday, Sportboy somehow finished 9th!
Justin77 managed a full 7/7 but others were better on margins - both Higgins and Hydro11 getting 6 out of 6 for the games they picked correctly.
Northland win the title beating South Island by 5 points - a lot of it due to Northland's win over Waikato which they backed more than South Island did. But mainly it was due to Justin77's stellar score.
I'll do more of a wrap a bit later on.
