2016 TSF NPC Tipping http://www.eglobal.co.nz/tsfnpc16/tsf.htm
-
<p>Good turnout so far - Northland and Wellington have 5, other teams should be the Bush, South Island, Hawke's Bay, BOP/Waikato and Auckland/Harbour/Counties. No decisions until everyone is in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now all you have to do is remember to keep tipping - it's short season, how hard can it be?</p> -

<p>Question from a newbie: as most team line-ups aren't known before the first game is being played, do we submit our tippings for <em>all </em>games before the first game, or just the tipping for that first game and submit the rest later?</p>
</div>

<p> </p>
<p>Couldn't find anything in the rules but I was always under the impression that you had to tip the entire round rather than in dribs and drabs. Guess we will have to wait until KP resurfaces later today to make a ruling. If he does not come in just tip the entire round to be on the safe side.</p>

<p>Try here for the lineups</p>

<p>Yes the unwrittten rule is tip all games prior to the first game as you should pick highest/lowest scorer before any games is played. I allow a tip to be changed if you realise you've cocked up badly (for example picking the Steamers to lose 17+ when obviously you meant win 17+) but otherwise, the less work I have to do the better!</p> -

<p>Or vice versa in the case of newcomer Victor A (Magpie_in_aus?) who has BoP 17+ but Taranaki for the highest scorer in the round. Talk about covering your bets!</p> -
<p>Getting close to kick off time and at the time of writing the allegiance declarations look to be about</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Northland five entries - one more would ne nice</p>
<p>Nth Harbour = three entries - still need at least two and preferably three more</p>
<p>Auckland = three entries - still need at least two and preferably three more</p>
<p>Waikato = three entries - still need at least two and preferably three more</p>
<p>Bay of Plenty = five entries - one more would be ideal</p>
<p>Hawkes Bay = four entries - one more will get a starting lineup but two more would be perfect</p>
<p>Wairarapa-Bush = six entries for the defending champs</p>
<p>Wellington = a full squad has been assembled</p>
<p>Sth Island = looks to be four so a couple more would do nicely</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still a few regulars to arrive but if you are out there tossing up whether to take part or not then please give it a go to ensure all teams have a playable number and to stop amalgmations or the draft being required.</p> -
<p>Here are the provisional teams - will be revisited if we get more entries. Players marked in bold have started with 10 for the Harbour win. So it looks like Harbour-Auckland is the first leader of the comp.</p>

<p>I don't believe it - Bay Imports has crawled out of the woodwork! Could this be a great omen???</p>

<p>A good omen for someone I am sure, hopefully us.. havent seen any rugby for a while though, so will be relying on dumb luck rather than normal luck ..</p> -

<p>I also tipped Harbour 1 to 8, so we're off to a good start.</p> -

<p>They are my favourites to win the tipping if Harbour actually win a decent number of games - big if there!</p> -

<p>31 so if I had extended the leaderboard just one more point (like they used to do with Tiger when the leaderboard would be stretched to include him if possible - when he was still OK I mean!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We're collectively backing Otago and Ta$man this afternoon 75-80%</p> -
<p>First week is over and Broughie has stormed into a 10 point lead on the back of picking all 7 results and Canterbury to be top scorers. Matching him for 7 results was Tim who didn't so well with the margins and is in 4th meaning that 2nd and 3rd are with Dogmeat and Victor. Picking only 3 results were Crucial, Sportboy, FarNthHayden, Waynes World, Number 10, NZZP, Hooroo, and Adam Bowen. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The team scores were strange with the 4 teams who topped 40 points playing each other which was unlucky for South Island and Wellington as the Bush and Harbour-Auckland triumphed and lead the table. Wins for Hawke's Bay and BOP over poor Counties-Waikato and Northland teams. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The website is up to date including Week 2 and 3 tipping forms - in week 3 the Wednesday games start so good to stay a week ahead to avoid forgetting.</p>
