Tipping 2020

[Crucial]

As long as the scores are projected to take into account my planned late season surge up the board, I am happy to call it off

[Higgins]

@KiwiPie A score draw greater than ten all or a nil nil draw as that would then eliminate the Lions as the lowest scorers for the weekend!

[KiwiPie]

Right here we go - as we have no idea when the next week of tipping will be, I am going to stretch the announcement of Week 7 results over a whole week, a game per night.

So I have updated the Leaderboard and the Fixtures (and Cup) tabs on https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ with the very low points scored given only 3 picked the Canes to win. Tomorrow we update after the Blues v Lions game for which Laurence, after being 1 of 3 to pick the Canes, was the only one to take the Lions.

@KiwiPie you need to factor into your fancy-pants algorithm my late surge I was planning after this round!

[KiwiPie]

@taniwharugby We could play future rounds by getting all of us to pick a scoreline for the rounds and then average out into a margin of victory. Maybe.

[voodoo]

@KiwiPie can we amend the "sport" to new Covid cases/deaths overnight or weekly? USA v Italy, Australia v NZ...

Or is that just too morbid...

Sorry

[KiwiPie]

@voodoo Yeah definitely. Sport related ideas only please.

Update 2 is live. @rico1 has the maximum 20/20 and @voodoo is the only other with 2 from 2.

[taniwharugby]

@KiwiPie can you remind us what the games were, and probably who won...maybe even put up the Sky Highlights, cos like, when did rugby finish, months ago wasnt it?

[KiwiPie]

Updated after the 3rd game - sorry for being late.

A big win for the Crusaders - 41/47 had the margin, if you didn't you're an idiot and no wonder you're doing so badly.

[KiwiPie]

Game 4 is in now - Reds 41 Bulls 17. Only Hooroo picked the margin and moves into the top 10. 5 went for the Bulls, Laurence, Stockcar86, Bones, Mikey07 & Richie.

[KiwiPie]

Game 5 has been updated - Joan and Mary has lost the lead to Higgins and is losing the cup final to Triple T. Not picking the Blues to win, a sound option in recent seasons, has proved her undoing.

[KiwiPie]

The final results are posted up now.

If the season doesn't start again, Higgins will be the champion, Barbarians will win the league and Triple T the cup. If Super Rugby does complete the season then we will decide what we do at that point.

Stay safe people
