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

    @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

    @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.

    @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.................

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

    On which comp? Superbru or the real TSF Tipping?

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

    @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.

    @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.

    @Higgins didn't he run it for SRA last year? Seems so long ago...

    Usual points diff, highest/lowest, tries per match or am I imagining things?

    Could add in a bonus round where you get option to choose one game to get double points?

    Obviously comes to KP having time to run it and how many punters join too.

    Assume usual suspects doing the superbru one again?

    @kiwipie @taniwharugby I'm a starter in Superbru but they are running separate NZ and Aus contests.

    As an aside SA look to be coming onside with super rugby (with eight team competing) again starting Feb 27 so that will give a decent number of games although I suspect there will be some gigantic scores in the the SA version making picks somewhat easy over there) so that will open up the options for KP if he is to go ahead.

    SA Rugby have confirmed the kick-off of the 2021 season with a number of preparation fixtures for eight provincial teams

    Only possible problem in SA is that they are operating on a ten day cycle for matches rather than a weekly one so there might have to be a bot of jigging around like the days when the NPC teams used to play three games in a week and made the Tipping Week cut offs different.

    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.
