So shall we resurrect the tipping comp for 13 June? What's the view on whether we carry on with the current comp or start a brand new one?
I've put up an online form so you can vote on it.

@KiwiPie New one, def a new one...
@taniwharugby
I forgot. Am I winning? Not likely so yeah, a new one. -
Not a massive number of votes but it is clear - the 2020 competition is ended with Higgins the champion, Barbarians the team champs and Triple T the cup winner.
A new competition will begin when the matches begin and we will just make it a battle of individuals in case we don't get enough returnees to form the teams. With just 2 games per weekend, look out for a new scoring system to test your skills.

Cool. Like getting bonus points for getting both results wrong?

We're live again! Still the same link https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
A new tipping form and spreadsheet have been created so enter your tips now at
https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submit
Changes are as follows
-
No team competition, you're all just playing for yourself for these 10 weeks.
-
80 points per weekend - double points for picking winner and margin as before so 40 points for the 2 games. 8 more categories of 5 points each.
-
For a team score, you score 5 for being correct or within 1, 4 for being 2/3 out, 3 for being 4/5 out etc etc. So if you're 10 or more away you get zero.
-
For team tries, you score 5 for being correct and 2 for being within 1.
The first game is on Saturday at 5pm so you have until then to submit.

Ok, I have re-activated the pool on Superbru and sent out invites. Apparently you can also search for it with a code (beansees)

I'm liking that the points picks often don't bear a relation to the tries picks - 28 points and 5 tries??

Sounds though Beuden has had a bad kicking day.

Missed 5 conversions from right in front and nailed a penalty from out wide?

I've powered up the supercomputer and we have in-progress scores .... all this lot picked the Highlanders to win and amazingly Paj is the early leader also scoring 5 for being within 1 of the Highlanders total and getting the number of Chiefs tries correctly.
