Tipping 2021

@kiwiwomble Like we all hope we can do at the start of every tipping season you might come good this time round, just like your Otago team promises to do. Plenty of room in the South Island Team for you.

Just processing the tips and sorting into teams. Absentee tippers who are regulars are @Virgil & @Smudge but all the others appear to have returned which is great news.
New tippers are Andrew Farrell & Jonathan Wiltshire - welcome. There is a Facebook group you can join which has reminders to tip if you're more likely to see it there rather than here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/590271681147113

All live now for Week 1 at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Hooroo is the early leader by 7 points after a superb score of 61, only missing the first result and nailing both category picks (Wellington & Northland for high and low score). Antipodean is 2nd with Stargazer in 3rd. Hooroo, Antipodean, Mikedogz, OomPB and Cactus Jack all picked 6/7 results. The fact that the first 4 of those are all in the Counties-Waikato team means they top scored for the round. At the other end of the table, only 22 pts for Andrew Farrell, Delicatessen & FarNthHayden.
Wins for South Island, Counties-Waikato, Bay of Plenty & Wellington in Round 1. South Island picked up the only bonus point for getting 3+ maximums more than their opponent (Wairarapa Bush) and so they are the early leaders.
48 tipped in all so they all slot nicely into 8 teams and all teams have 6 tippers. For those who chose Individual I have assigned you a team - you can see which team it is on the Leaderboard.
The form is live for Week 2.

Tipping half the time but not overthinking it sounds good enough for a Top Ten finish.

Because there is a (BoP) Mafia involved?
Top ten isn't quite victory either... -
Don't forget to tip for Week 2 - it's a marathon not a sprint https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit

The scores are in https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
In the Teams comp, wins for Counties-Waikato, Wairarapa Bush, South Island & Wellington. Northland were 2 players short and BOP 1 player short (if you don't tip you score 5 less than the lowest score - in this case 17 as DK scored 22).
South Island lead after 2 rounds with Counties-Waikato & Wellington also 2 wins from 2. Hawke's Bay, Harbour-Auckland and Northland all with 2 defeats to start.
Best of the weekend was Dogmeat with 57 points, picking all 7 games (as did TR and Bay Imports). Most picked 6/7 which meant higher scoring overall than last week. Hooroo still holds the overall lead by 6 from Corkscrew and Stargazer with Justin77 up to 4th and Langakali to 5th.
Missing tippers from last week were Jonathan Wiltshire @sportboy @KiwiMurph @Gunner Andrew Farrell and @FarNthHayden

Missing tippers
My plan is working
Not in an @Snowy way I hasten to add
I have a plan? Complete opportunist. That's why I am so good.
