TSF NPC Tipping 2023
-
KP has envoked a compulsory draft for these usually regular tippers that have somehow managed to forget to tip in the opening round.
@sportboy (BoP), @Crucial (Counties-Waikato and defending champion!), @antipodean (Counties-Waikato), @dK (Harbour-Auckland), @FarNthHayden (Northland), @Paj (Hawkes Bay), @KiwiMurph (Northland), @Machpants (Wairarapa-Bush), @Hurrycanes (Wellington)Naturally if your name is not amongst those mentioned above you are still very welcome to come in and make sure your teams have a full roster from now on. There is also scope for other diehard posters particularly like Northlanders @kev @Gunner to enter the contest and represent your areas. Maybe even @Dan54 might be tempted to tip his hat into the ring for the generally all conquering Wairarapa-Bush outfit as @Buck seems to be on an elongated sabatical and possibly even @Cactus-Jack might be tempted to make a return? @Kruse must resting on his laurels (joining @Crucial) after taking top honours on the last TSF contest on Superbru.com!

Cut of time for the first game in the round (Counties v HB) is 7.05pm NZ Time on 11 August -

@Machpants the mid-week games are not included in the tips, much like NZR, @KiwiPie is devaluing the NPC
-
@taniwharugby LOL really? ANyway can't watch enough games I'd just be random guessing - which admittedly would probably give me a better score

That's what @kirwan does. He's currently in third place
I won one of these comps doing exactly that.

Reminder - get your tips in everyone including the missing tipsters

Results for the weekend are live https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Comfortable wins for Northland, Wairarapa Bush, Harbour-Auckland and a narrow win for Hawke's Bay over Wellington. Bush, H-A & HB are level at the top on 9 points after 2 wins.
No points were scored for Southland v Northland as it ended in a draw so 6 results was the best you could get. Top scorer was Wayne's World with 59 with all 6 results picked and both category picks correct (you needed Canterbury/Wellington as top scorers, Otago as lowest). Also over 50 were 4 D's, Dan54, Donsteppa, Dolamite & DK. Donsteppa extends his lead to 11 points, Wayne's World is up to 2nd, followed by Dogmeat, Windows97 & Kirwan.
We welcome back @Paj @Hurrycanes & @sportboy to the world of tipping while @BartMan & @Grooter went AWOL and @BorderJB was too late to be counted.
Top 32 scores next week go into the first round of the Cup.

Time to get your tips in everyone - first game is just over 2 hours away https://thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit/

I don't know whether it serves any purpose, but I forgot to get my tippings in and I've now submitted them during the Canterbury v Manawatū game. For the highest and lowest point scoring teams, I've picked teams from matches played after that game.
Can I still pick up points for the games that haven't started yet?
-
@Stargazer yeah you will...

You can but it depends how far through the games are - as it turned out, you scored less than the default score so you were given that instead. The default is 5 below the lowest score for someone who picked all games.

The scores are in https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Not an easy week to score points with nobody believing Northland would win and a fair number not picking Counties or Taranaki. @george33 had an outstanding score of 59 with 6/7 and 4 with margin. @mikey07 with 51 and @mikedogz with 47 also picked 6/7.
@Donsteppa still leads by 11 from @Waynes-World but the masses are closing in behind with @Kirwan @Dolamite & @taniwharugby making up the top 5 and only 10 points separating 3rd and 13th.
Wins for the Bush, Harb-Auck & Hawke's Bay mean they are all 3/3 and looking good to make the semis - the other 5 teams battling for the last place.
The first round of the Cup is live, the 32 qualifiers were the 32 top scores from the weekend.

By geez my picks missed a bit this week. But I do know I tend to pick with heart a bit more in this comp, and other thing I take heart from, NPC is a good comp when it this hard to pick winners.
And to top it off I put my picks in already, which I think is a bit early. May have to edit then later in week depending how the Lions/Mako shield challenge goes on Wed.
