Higgins pointed out an error in my spreadsheet - I wasn't throwing away the worst of the 6 entries and some teams had a really bad 6th entry. So I have updated the team scores and the ladder.

Everything is updated - https://www.thesilverfern.com/tipping/ for the latest. A new tipping form for week 2 is also there. Duluth is sorting out the Squads link on there to reflect the squads - everyone is in a team except 3 of you and you will probably find yourself drafted at some point.

Scores for the weekend - some pretty good, some terrible.

@Chris-B Love a 10th wicket partnership to win a game especially when the batsman goes 6 hitting crazy

Justin77 and Waynes World are in so they score the final 5 games.

Provisional best scoring so far - Sportboy the only one with 6/6 results but only 1 margin

Plastered Peni 44
DK 42
Richie 42
Sportboy 41
JK 40
Smudge 40

Provisional team scoring - Canes Gold with 2 players to add, all other teams with at least 5 players

BOP Chiefs 34 - 21 Hurricanes Gold
Blues A 34 - 34 Hurricanes Black
Blues B 32 - 35 Barbarians
South Island 32 - 34 SunJags

I've got early season enthusiasm so here is the leaderboard - the 4 tippers who picked both results

@Smudge 20
@ACT-Crusader 20
Caprice 20
@sportboy 17

Next best is 12 for a bundle of people. No team scores yet until I sort out all team squads. Putting out a final call to the missing tippers @justin77 @Pauncefote @No-Quarter @Waynes-World and Buck who are the only ones from last season not to return. There are people to take their places in their teams if they don't either tip or make contact before the end of the round.

Shout-out of course to those still on zero who have tipped. @gt12 take a bow!

@Unite Still have to get all the files sorted for this season ... weekend job

I'm in... I think. Hope my entry has been recorded.

same here, not sure I did it right but it said my tips were in so fingers crossed

It is a Google form - nothing can go wrong ...

And yes you're both in - people who tipped early have gone Chiefs, people who waited until the teams came out have gone Highlanders - except me, I went Chiefs all day long. Highlanders leading 22-19 on picks so far, so there will be a split in the pack after game 1.

Looking at the teams that have been picked, it actually looks like all teams will scrape together 5 players. Hopefully it is 6 for all teams by kick-off time

Hopefully we get to 48 and every team can dump a loser's score every week!

Thanks for not calling me out by name

Exactly - you all know who you are! Speaking of which, I need to make sure @sportboy tips for the BOP Chiefs ...

Good news that we're at 39 entries already and 40 is the minimum to run 8 teams. Hopefully we get to 48 and every team can dump a loser's score every week!

@Crucial Are you firing this one up again in Superbru?
