Tipping 2020
-
Well you all failed my cunning test - the leaderboard hadn't been updated since last week and only Mr @dogmeat checked his score and thought he had scored more (he had). It is updated now.

About half the players are still to tip this week and you have less than 6 hours to do it. https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping

Results are all in https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
@Hooroo and @Crucial have joined the ranks of the absentee tippers which is bad news for Counties-Waikato who were already propping up the table.
Top score this week for Tim who had the highest score of the season (57) so far and rose 11 places to 3rd overall. Stargazer had 54 to retain the lead by 6 from Dice who scored 51. Nobody scored 7/7 but Fiamacho managed 6/7 despite missing the first game, one of only 4 to pick the Waikato victory. Phooey nailed the season's lowest score, missing the first game and picking 0/6 of the remainder for a miserable 4 points.
Northland had another draw to remain unbeaten but lose their overall lead to Harbour-Auckland who pipped Wairarapa Bush 47-45 in the game of the weekend. Hawke's Bay are up to 3rd with BOP holding the other play-off spot. South Island can still make the top 4 but Wellington and the Bush will need other results to go their way.
In the TSF Cup, Higgins will play Caprice in one semi-final and Kruse will play Langakali in the other.

Scores are live now at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Hydro11 and Corkscrew top scored with 47, Corkscrew along with Caprice and Broughie managed 6/7 and Hydro11 is now up to 3rd place. Dice took over at the top as Stargazer had a poor 30 meaning the whole leaderboard is closing up, the top 10 covered by just 22 points with 3 weeks to go.
Harbour-Auckland beat Northland to secure top spot in the round robin and they will play South Island in the semi-final after they beat Hawke's Bay to push them out of the semis. BOP will play Northland in the other semi.
Higgins and Langakali will contest the TSF Cup final over the next 2 weekends.

...just checking its too late to put my picks in for the weekend?....i have a good feeling

Yo peoples! Tipping time. It's been a tricky season for accurate tipping but it has made for a thrilling climax over the next 3 weeks.

In the semi-finals to be the champion of 2020, Harbour-Auckland will play South Island and BOP face Northland. Higgins will play Langakaki in the 1st leg of the cup final.
The individual top 10 looks like this
-
just put my tips in...a bit late, still nil all
-
@Tim do it anyway, game still tied!!

The results are in. South Island crushed Harbour-Auckland to reach the final with consistency through the whole team and a lowest score of 34. H-A had 4 tippers below 30 in a disastrous choke for the minor premier winners. Smudge and Kiwiwomble the best scorers and South Island will play Northland in the final after they drew 31-31 with BOP but won as the actual score was 31.4 to 31. Justin77 and TR scored well for Northland and Sportboy and Bay Imports for BOP but just 16 from the usual star Cactus Jack did for BOP.
In the race for the individual title, Caprice shot into the lead with the weekend's top score of 46 (also scored by Stockcar86 who was the only tipper with 6/7). She now leads by 6 from former leader Dice with Broughie up to 3rd with Hydro11 a point further back. 1st to 21st is only a spread of 34 points and with the unpredictable results taking place, it is possible to make up that sort of margin over the final 2 weeks.
Higgins took a commanding 42-30 lead after the first leg of the TSF Cup Final.

Yep, hard to win if you give a week away in a 10 week competition.

A late reminder this week - 2 and a half hours to tip

Everything is updated at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Northland and South Island drew 29-29 in the first leg of their final so all to play for next weekend. TR and Richie passed 30 for Northland, Corkscrew, Broughie and Phooey for South Island but they had to include Kruse's 22.
Individually, Dice and Sportboy tied with 44 points, they picked 5/7 in a tricky week (as did Virgil) and both picking BOP which only 4 did in total. Similarly only 2 went for Southland and just one for Canterbury (surprisingly that was Phooey!)
Dice has shot into the lead now 13 points clear of Broughie with Sportboy a point back and Winger, Caprice and Higgins within 20 of the lead. With so much riding on the games next weekend, it looks like being another tough one so a large lead can be whittled back.
Finally Higgins won the TSF Cup comfortably by 15 points with Langakali runner-up.
