Last call to enter the tipping competition, the first game is tonight. 29 entrants so far not including myself and a few regulars are yet to join - if we can get to 40+ that will be perfect for an 8 team competition.

just roll the dice for week one, I reckon almost every game could go either way!

Yes they could go either way but you were the only person to pick Harbour to win! Which has you at 47th of 47 players ......

Great response to the call and we have 47 players with tips in for Round 1, that's 8 teams of 6 and only BOP with 5 so we get the next player to join up. So everyone who selected a team made it into that team and the 4 who declared as individuals have been drafted as follow.
Richie, @Joan-and-Mary into Northland to make them up to 6.
@Kruse into South Island.
Fiamacho into Counties-Waikato.24 picked Canterbury 9-16 and are all in the lead.
22 picked 1-8 or 17+
1 (TR) picked Harbour 1-8

@KiwiPie its all good, lulling people into a false sense of security, especially after the rest of my tips don't come in

4 games down and 3 to go.
All of Sportboy, YeetYaah, Unite, Fiamacho, Virgil and Stockcar86 have picked 4/4 meaning not many went for a Waikato win. Nobody at all went for that margin of victory though. Margins have made the difference in the leaders for the round, with Caprice, Stargazer, Billsy and Justin77 all on 30 points with 3 margin picks correct.
Counties-Waikato 25 - 26 Hawke's Bay
BOP 26 - 23 Northland
South Island 20 - 25 Wairarapa Bush
Wellington 26 - 26 Harbour-Auckland -
First week results are live https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
A good win for Harbour-Auckland, a narrow win for Hawke's Bay and the other 2 games were drawn - all very close.
Virgil was the only one to get 7/7 but he struggled to get a margin and is only 5th. It was Caprice who top scored with 50 despite only picking 5 /7 - 4 of the 5 were correct margins and she also picked Otago as low scorers. Gunner is 2nd and Fiamacho 3rd who was the only other one to get a category pick correct. Joan and Mary and Mikedogz share last place with 24 points.
Your score next week goes towards the TSF Cup - the best 16 scores go into Round 1, the rest have to play off to qualify.
-
27 of 48 entries in for this week, get your tips in before the first game tonight. You need to be one of the top 16 scorers for the weekend to go straight to the main TSF Cup draw - everyone below 16 will go into a qualifying round next week.

4 games in and only YeetYah, Fiamacho and FarNthHayden have picked 4/4. YeetYah has the best score with 32 ahead of Phooey who has 30 with 3 maximums. Missing tippers are @mikedogz @Paj @billsy & @Canes4life
Counties-Waikato 28 - 25 Northland
BOP 25 - 22 Wairarapa Bush
South Island 25 - 23 Harbour-Auckland
Wellington 20 - 17 Hawke's Bay -
Strangely the 3 who picked 4/4 all ended up with 4/7 and nobody at all picked Wellington to win in Auckland. Plenty went for Ta$man as top scorer and Southland as lowest scorer and there was a good boost for those who picked both.
Dice top scored with 53 and is now 2nd overall, 4 behind Gunner who scored 50. Stargazer is in 3rd another 7 points back.
Wairarapa Bush go top in the teams comp although no team has 2 wins so it is very close with 4 teams a point behind. Counties start with 2 defeats to be rock bottom.
The Cup starts next week - if you don't see your name in the Cup draw it means you made it through to the first round proper which starts in Week 4.

This is your Friday reminder to get your tips in - around 20 still to tip.

Shit - I'd forgotten until just now.
I assume you'll take the rest of the tips, and just throw away the Wgtn/BOP game? (I did do the tipping before checking the score, but would assume/hope that you'd have zero trust in my word for that).
Fucking lost the SR tipping comp by forgetting to tip the final week. Getting my slide into tip-dementia early for this oone. -

4 games in and only Paj and Richie have picked 4/4, Paj with the best score of 34 so far. Richie on 30 as is Phooey who yet again has picked 3/3 with maximum points but has not realised that Canterbury are a losing team this season.

BOP 22 - 20 Harbour-Auckland
South Island 20 - 21 Wellington
Hawke's Bay 26 - 23 NorthlandHawke's Bay and Northland are the top scoring teams and unluckily for Northland, playing against each other.

Final scores are up for the weekend.
https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Richie and Kiwiwomble shared the top score of 49, Richie getting 7/7 picks (the only one on a tricky weekend) but not getting a category pick when the majority of tippers picked Auckland as top scorers. Dice is the new leader, Stagazer up to 2nd, Kiwiwomble in 3rd and Caprice shares 4th with Gunner. Richie shoots into the top 10 in 8th place. Big falls for Virgil, Kruse and DK.
Wairarapa Bush and South Island are the top 2 in the teams comp but it is very close with only Counties-Waikato winless and needing probably 4 wins from 4 to make the semis.
All of those winning in the TSF Cup go into the first round proper next week to join the 16 who pre-qualified last week.

This could be a moving week with 3 of the 4 games so far being tough to call, Northland were not picked by the majority and the Canterbury-Wellington game was split almost 50-50. This has led to some very good scores - and some very bad ones. Sportboy, Mikedogz and Dogmeat lead the way with 37/40 and 3 games to go today. At the other end Laurence and Waynes World are in single figures and Trooa is on zero having missed the first game.
All matches have a 4 points or more lead to one team. We have all picked Ta$man, nearly all have picked Waikato while the Shield match is another 50-50 call.
