Thank @KiwiPie . Brilliantly run once again.

Appreciate your work @KiwiPie

And for those who took part in Superbru - obviously this competition has a much fairer scoring system!

[Higgins]

@KiwiPie You weren't looking so good with less than ten minutes to go though! Anyway congratulations on having the foresight to pick Ta$man, it got you home at the top of the field so an inspired pick from you. Thanks again for your efforts in running your tipping contests, it is so unique having the individual and team aspect to it.

I don't put much thought into Superbru and I do better

[KiwiPie]

@Higgins it was a hunch as was picking the Taniwha for the semi - them's the breaks

[KiwiPie]

@mikedogz In Superbru, it is very difficult to score for margins so getting results correct is crucial. In KP's tipping, getting the correct margin range is much more important

[broughie]

@KiwiPie Do you have a stat that shows who makes the most upward movement from week one to the finish. I am sure I would be top ten there.

[Higgins]

@KiwiPie I'd completely overlooked your Taniwha selection and you going that way opened the door for me to sneak through close to the end. Alas it was not to be.................

[taniwharugby]

oh I forgot all about that comp for the 2nd half of it I think...no surprises I came last then!

missing one week (and generally poor choices) was enough to be near the bottom

On which comp? Superbru or the real TSF Tipping?

[broughie]

@KiwiPie The real TSF tipping of course. What other comp is there?

[KiwiPie]

@broughie You were 34th after week 1 and never lower than 14th in any week after that. Higgins was 37th after week 1 and didn't reach the top 20 until week 4. In contrast Dice was 6th after week 1 and then no lower than 2nd for the rest of the weeks.

[broughie]

@KiwiPie I am a notorious slow starter.

[Higgins]

@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.
