NPC Tipping 2025
-
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.

Time to get your tips in everyone https://silverfern.rugby/tipping-submit/

Just got them in!
-
TIP EARLY THIS COMING WEEK - OPENING GAME IS ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
Results are updated after the weekend https://silverfern.rugby/tipping/
Nobody at all picked Taranaki as top scorers and BoP as low scorers. Picking 6/7 results were @jamsb Plastered Peni @ploughboy @bayimports & @Chris with Chris top scoring with 46. @george33 showing an uncanny knack of picking the wrong winner scoring just 12 and forcing all the non tippers to have just 7 points.
@Laurence still leads but only by 2 from @hydro11 with @jamsb up to 3rd. Wellington wins again with their 3rd bonus point win, also wins for BOP and first wins of the season for Counties-Waikato and Northland. The Cup is into the last 16 - no ties this weekend. Missing tippers were @trooa @Kruse @Yeetyaah Glen @Canes4life @Tim and @BorderJB was late again.

@Kruse not to worry, unsure many would have had Southland so you will have the same points as most still
Don't you get an Away 17+ for a missed tip if you are late with your tips? If so then it turns out to be an inspired tactic!

Nah I ditched that rule a long time ago (for this very reason). You get zilch, nada, nothing. If you don't submit at all you get 5 points less than the lowest score of someone who put their tips in on time.
