Tipping 2020
-
It's all over and Dice managed to hang on to win by a single point from Higgins and Winger, by 2 from Hydro11 and by 5 from Broughie. I can't remember a closer leaderboard at the end of a season. https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/
All the scores over 60 came in the final week of the season as many went big on Sunday nailing 30/30 and many also getting Manawatu as low scorers. Despite being in prime position to challenge at the end of Saturday, Sportboy somehow finished 9th!
Justin77 managed a full 7/7 but others were better on margins - both Higgins and Hydro11 getting 6 out of 6 for the games they picked correctly.
Northland win the title beating South Island by 5 points - a lot of it due to Northland's win over Waikato which they backed more than South Island did. But mainly it was due to Justin77's stellar score.
I'll do more of a wrap a bit later on.
@KiwiPie awesome as always KP...I shoulda had more faith in my team!!

thanks @KiwiPie

@KiwiPie You weren't looking so good with less than ten minutes to go though! Anyway congratulations on having the foresight to pick Ta$man, it got you home at the top of the field so an inspired pick from you. Thanks again for your efforts in running your tipping contests, it is so unique having the individual and team aspect to it.

missing one week (and generally poor choices) was enough to be near the bottom

@KiwiPie Do you have a stat that shows who makes the most upward movement from week one to the finish. I am sure I would be top ten there.

On which comp? Superbru or the real TSF Tipping?

@broughie You were 34th after week 1 and never lower than 14th in any week after that. Higgins was 37th after week 1 and didn't reach the top 20 until week 4. In contrast Dice was 6th after week 1 and then no lower than 2nd for the rest of the weeks.
