SuperBru 2017

For those that want to punish themselves even more than in the excellent TSF Tipping Comp.

I have set up a group on Super Bru www.superbru.com called 'TSFSUPER17'. You should be able to register then join that comp without a password.

You can play various games such as Tipping, Fantasy, and Superstars.

To keep things simple and have variety I suggest we stick to tipping and Superstars.
in the Superstars format you only have to pick five players each round (plus backups if you wish). You pick one player in each of these categories "Front Five", "Loose Forwards", "Kicker", "Inside Back" and "Outside Back". There is the usual type of scoring system based on tries/kicks/turnovers/tackles/linebreaks etc. You can find the detail on the help section.

We have 5 players so far in the Predictor TSF pool. Picks for this are open.

I'm also going to do the 'Superstars' one. That isn't open for selections yet. They are waiting for teams to start coming through.

I think I already signed up for this on another comp so I'll do this as well - or do it badly probably as I won't pay enough attention.

perfect example of efficient and effective communication

[taniwharugby]

yeah I joined too.

As no one picked anywhere near the margin there is only a one point across the board head start. Get on in.

[KiwiPie]

Not sure if that Superstars comp works very well - seems a battle to just pick any starting players from a reasonably short list. Which means you have to know the team lists and with a Thursday deadline, that's tough.

Anyway after Round 1 ...........

The Yellow Cap is a virtual achievement honouring the best pool performance in each round. Winners see it proudly displayed alongside their names in the pool leaderboard.
Higgins won the Yellow Cap in TSFSUPER17 in Round 19

Look out guys, I'm finally coming right!

And its all over and very well done to Joan and Mary for taking the gold medal by about four points from JayCee. My late season recovery got me the bronze medal by the somewhat squeaky margin of 0.08 points over JK with KiwiPie rounding out the top five. The remainder struggled in at varying distances but all the better for the experience!

does this pool rollover or does someone need to start a new one as I cant seem to find a TSF pool.

Can I retire now?

Somehow I picked both games exactly correct! One of those times you wish your picks were in real bets.

[taniwharugby]

I thought I should record this moment, as I expect it wont last beyond next week, shame I'm only 2nd on the one that matters, KP's TSF comp!!
