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?
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. -

Ok fellas , I made a cock up (surprise surprise) I wanted to change a pick and ended up putting picks in twice, not sure how to fix it.
If you put tips in more than once, I always use the most recent set of tips.

Cheers thanks Kiwi, I had hoped that was case.

Results are in for the past weekend - a tough week for tipping with Plastered Peni, Justin77, Joan and Mary & BorderJB the only ones to reach 5/7 correct, most getting 4 but quite a few at 3/7. BorderJB picked both top and low scorer for the maximum of 46. Joan and Mary, Kirwan & Justin77 the only others above 40.
This makes Kirwan the new leader, just a point ahead of Donsteppa who scored only 29 with Dogmeat, Propsicle & Plastered Peni all sharing 5th after scores in the high 30s. Bay Imports in 24th is just 31 behind the leader so plenty to play for over the 2nd half of the competition.
Harbour-Auckland thrashed Counties-Waikato to go clear at the top as Wairarapa Bush & Hawke's Bay drew but all 3 of them look good to make the play-offs. Wellington hold 4th after a close win over BOP.
The Cup First Round saw no ties so the final 16 are decided.

Well I have to say, trying to use brain instead of heart didn't bloody help did it> By christ a man wonders what he elarnt in his lifetime, I definetly knew that Wellingtn couldn't win last game of storm week and 2 RS games, same as Ta$man. It didn't stop there either.
Lucky I haven't got a cold, after weekend I convinced if I had a bogey up right nostril I would try and pick the left one!!!
Have to say I loving all these surprise results though! -

Best of the weekend were Plastered Peni and Justin77 with 49, J77 the only one to 7/7 but only getting 1 margin. Plastered is now up to 3rd, 4 behind Donsteppa & Kirwan who share the lead with Waynes World and Winger making up the top 5.
With 2 rounds left in the round robin, Harbour-Auckland and Wairarapa Bush are confirmed in the semi-finals, it looks like 2 of Hawke's Bay, Wellington and BOP. Hawke's Bay and BOP meet next weekend along with the real life Battle of the Bays.
The Cup quarter-finalists are decided, Hydro11 plays Tim, it is Triple T v Plastered Peni, Joan and Mary v Dolamite and Justin77 against Higgins.

Updated at https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/ and the form for next weekend is live.
Nobody picked all 7 results as a few were tough to call but Kirwan, Duluth, Victor, George33 and Hydro11 picked 6/7. Duluth the top score with 54 due to correct margin picks, Victor with 52.
Kirwan scored 48 to move 7 clear of Donsteppa at the top with 3 weeks to go. Duluth shoots up to 3rd, shared with Waynes World, Victor & Plastered Peni.
The Cup semi-finals are Hydro11 v Higgins and Plastered Peni v Dolamite.
With just 1 round to go in the round robin, Harbour-Auckland and Wairarapa Bush remain unbeaten having played out a draw and Wellington look safe in 3rd. BOP beat Hawke's Bay by a point to keep their slim hopes of the top 4 alive.
