Tipping 2020

@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 rejig Super Rugby Unlocked to prepare players for British and Irish Lions tour
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 393I'll start a new thread for 2021 in the coming week.
