@Higgins said in NPC Tipping 2025:
Edit: And as I wrote the above Winger does front up. Still it is small consolation that he can't improve on his finishing position last season when he sneaked ahead of @Donsteppa to win the thing right on full time.
I vaguely recall the result effectively being staked on the NPC final. I went double or nothing on that one

The results are live for week 1. Bookmark this link as they will appear here every Sunday/Monday https://silverfern.rugby/tipping/
@ploughboy is our early leader. 5/7 results with 3 margins was enough for 47 in what was a low scoring week. 6/7 was the best for @justin77 who was 2nd with 46 (not enough margins) and 3rd is @Laurence with 40 - only 4/7 but all with a correct margin. Also getting 5/7 were @trooa and @BorderJB in 4th and 5th. 3 players picked only 2/7 (which given Taranaki and Hawke's Bay were banker home wins was pretty poor!) and worst was @Yeetyaah with just 15.
Still time to join if you want to, you will get 10 for the first round. All players (43) have been assigned a team - BOP, Counties-Waikato & Wellington have 6 as they were popular and their spares have been drafted to other teams. Narrow first round wins for Hawke's Bay, BOP, Wellington and a convincing win for Wairarapa Bush over South Island for whom every player scored 27 points.

Do we want to actually see the results?

Some do - most don't!

the link was working fine earlier on but failing for me now.
When was it working?
@Kirwan was doing something last night. He'll fix it soon
It was definitely working 5 hours ago when I did the updates.

I'm surprised. I actually thought none of the results went my way.

First game of round 2 of NPC is tonight, make sure you get your tips submitted https://silverfern.rugby/tipping-submit

There will be a bit of a delay before week 2 scores are online - I seem to have lost the workings for week 1 in my spreadsheet so I will need to do a bit of reconstruction. Meanwhile the tipping form is live for Week 3.

Not quite as bad as feared - Sharepoint had hidden it somewhere. Everything updated now at https://silverfern.rugby/tipping/ - report to come later on.

Report time - firstly going AWOL were @Chris Glen @MacDazzler @Canes4life @Tim @Kirwan - sort yourselves out, it is only week 2! The Teams comp relies on people tipping every week - maybe do it earlier in the week.
A much easier week for picking the winners - getting 7/7 were @Laurence who moves top overall, 7 points clear and also @jamsb who moves up to 6th. They both scored 61 but topping all scorers was @hydro11 with 65 - picked Waikato to win but got 6/6 margins on the other games and moves up to 2nd. Sharing 3rd spot are @Higgins and @trooa
16 players in total topped 50 after nobody managed it last week. At the other end of the scale, @george33 scored just 21. The first round of the Cup is next week, the draw has been made. 2 of @BorderJB @ploughboy @sportboy will make the draw depending on which of them scores best in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd game etc.
Wins for Wellington and Wairarapa Bush mean they are 1 and 2, Harbour-Auckland are already looking wooden spooners and Counties-Waikato and Northland fought out an honourable draw.

Apologies mate, was sick last week and completely forgot. Frustrating.
