Results for the weekend are live https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Comfortable wins for Northland, Wairarapa Bush, Harbour-Auckland and a narrow win for Hawke's Bay over Wellington. Bush, H-A & HB are level at the top on 9 points after 2 wins.
No points were scored for Southland v Northland as it ended in a draw so 6 results was the best you could get. Top scorer was Wayne's World with 59 with all 6 results picked and both category picks correct (you needed Canterbury/Wellington as top scorers, Otago as lowest). Also over 50 were 4 D's, Dan54, Donsteppa, Dolamite & DK. Donsteppa extends his lead to 11 points, Wayne's World is up to 2nd, followed by Dogmeat, Windows97 & Kirwan.
We welcome back @Paj @Hurrycanes & @sportboy to the world of tipping while @BartMan & @Grooter went AWOL and @BorderJB was too late to be counted.
Top 32 scores next week go into the first round of the Cup.

I don't know whether it serves any purpose, but I forgot to get my tippings in and I've now submitted them during the Canterbury v Manawatū game. For the highest and lowest point scoring teams, I've picked teams from matches played after that game.
Can I still pick up points for the games that haven't started yet?

@Stargazer yeah you will...

You can but it depends how far through the games are - as it turned out, you scored less than the default score so you were given that instead. The default is 5 below the lowest score for someone who picked all games.

The scores are in https://thesilverfern.com/tipping/
Not an easy week to score points with nobody believing Northland would win and a fair number not picking Counties or Taranaki. @george33 had an outstanding score of 59 with 6/7 and 4 with margin. @mikey07 with 51 and @mikedogz with 47 also picked 6/7.
@Donsteppa still leads by 11 from @Waynes-World but the masses are closing in behind with @Kirwan @Dolamite & @taniwharugby making up the top 5 and only 10 points separating 3rd and 13th.
Wins for the Bush, Harb-Auck & Hawke's Bay mean they are all 3/3 and looking good to make the semis - the other 5 teams battling for the last place.
The first round of the Cup is live, the 32 qualifiers were the 32 top scores from the weekend.

By geez my picks missed a bit this week. But I do know I tend to pick with heart a bit more in this comp, and other thing I take heart from, NPC is a good comp when it this hard to pick winners.
And to top it off I put my picks in already, which I think is a bit early. May have to edit then later in week depending how the Lions/Mako shield challenge goes on Wed. -

Ok fellas , I made a cock up (surprise surprise) I wanted to change a pick and ended up putting picks in twice, not sure how to fix it.
If you put tips in more than once, I always use the most recent set of tips.

Cheers thanks Kiwi, I had hoped that was case.

Results are in for the past weekend - a tough week for tipping with Plastered Peni, Justin77, Joan and Mary & BorderJB the only ones to reach 5/7 correct, most getting 4 but quite a few at 3/7. BorderJB picked both top and low scorer for the maximum of 46. Joan and Mary, Kirwan & Justin77 the only others above 40.
This makes Kirwan the new leader, just a point ahead of Donsteppa who scored only 29 with Dogmeat, Propsicle & Plastered Peni all sharing 5th after scores in the high 30s. Bay Imports in 24th is just 31 behind the leader so plenty to play for over the 2nd half of the competition.
Harbour-Auckland thrashed Counties-Waikato to go clear at the top as Wairarapa Bush & Hawke's Bay drew but all 3 of them look good to make the play-offs. Wellington hold 4th after a close win over BOP.
The Cup First Round saw no ties so the final 16 are decided.
