Has the Superbru Fern NPC Tipping Competition been reactivated for 2021 yet as I am hoping to improve on my silver medal from last season into a gold medal this time out?

Still plenty of space in some of the teams to fill up to their full muster of six. Sme of these maybe/should be interested in joining up in the worlds best tipping competition where there are both individual and teams component.
Regulars/last years tippers still to decide on their tips include
Northland @FarNthHayden @Gunner @justin77
Harbour/Auckland @dice @tim @caprice @Virgil
Counties/Waikato @yeetyaah @Hooroo
Bay of Plenty @sportboy @bayimports @Cactus-Jack @KiwiPie @trooa
Hawkes Bay @Stargazer @propsicle @billsy
Wairarapa Bush @victor @buck
Wellington @Winger @laurence
South Island @Corkscrew @Smudge @Kiwiwomble @Phooeyhttps://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping-submitIf some teams are full you will be allocated to another to fill up rosters that might need another tipper, or even the possibility of having a another team like Wellington Development formed if enough want to tip for Wellington! If you were in that boat last season you obviously elect to tip for your preferred option naturally. There is also the individual component as well that also creates a lot of interest.
Others that might want to take the plunge include the likes of @Bovidae @Dan54 @kiwimurph @ACT-Crusader @Daffy-Jaffy @Duluth @booboo @canefan @antipodean @Machpants (Bush might be needing you as both myself and the captain - Waynes World have yet to locate Buck) @MN5 @Number-10 (we seem to struggle to get a 6th tipper for our HB team!) @kev @Pepe @foobaNZ @gt12 @shark @george33 and many others out there that are not listed.
With the lockdown over in Aus there might be a bit more interest from expats over there that will have more time to follow and watch the games (on Stan I believe) so they can have a slightly better idea on who teams are going and thus making picking winners a bit easier. If in doubt you can always use the blindfold and stick a pin in method! Anyway give it some though and get your tips in by 7.05pm NZ time tonight (or if you miss that you can still tip for the remaining games)

@higgins i support Otago! you mixing up your blue and gold teams
...i'm also shit at tipping
@kiwiwomble Like we all hope we can do at the start of every tipping season you might come good this time round, just like your Otago team promises to do. Plenty of room in the South Island Team for you.

Sorry @Higgins I'm out - don't know how much of it I'll be able to see, so will definitely end up letting the side down.
This year I don't think I even managed Super rugby tipping...

@tim said in Tipping 2021:
@gt12 Soft!
Need a better place to get links as NPC doesn't seem to get picked up by the streamers. It doesn't look like the NPC is on Wowow either.

Just processing the tips and sorting into teams. Absentee tippers who are regulars are @Virgil & @Smudge but all the others appear to have returned which is great news.
New tippers are Andrew Farrell & Jonathan Wiltshire - welcome. There is a Facebook group you can join which has reminders to tip if you're more likely to see it there rather than here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/590271681147113
Post a message on this thread so we know who you are.

All live now for Week 1 at https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Hooroo is the early leader by 7 points after a superb score of 61, only missing the first result and nailing both category picks (Wellington & Northland for high and low score). Antipodean is 2nd with Stargazer in 3rd. Hooroo, Antipodean, Mikedogz, OomPB and Cactus Jack all picked 6/7 results. The fact that the first 4 of those are all in the Counties-Waikato team means they top scored for the round. At the other end of the table, only 22 pts for Andrew Farrell, Delicatessen & FarNthHayden.
Wins for South Island, Counties-Waikato, Bay of Plenty & Wellington in Round 1. South Island picked up the only bonus point for getting 3+ maximums more than their opponent (Wairarapa Bush) and so they are the early leaders.
48 tipped in all so they all slot nicely into 8 teams and all teams have 6 tippers. For those who chose Individual I have assigned you a team - you can see which team it is on the Leaderboard.
The form is live for Week 2.
