      With the status of actualy attending NPC games uncertain, all the more reason to enhance the virtual experience and with that in mind .....

      The world-famous TSF NPC Tipping Comp is back for another run around the block. New players are always welcome, not to mention critical to keeping the teams competition alive

      It lives here

      The discussion thread is

      https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/3724/tipping-2020

      and there is a Facebook group

          @Kiwiwomble I think that has to do with the fact that they need a minimum number of participants in the tipping comp per team. There aren't enough participants to have all the teams, so hence one South Island team. No doubt, @KiwiPie will correct me if I'm wrong.

            Yeah, that's right. Back in the day nearly each province had enough to put a team together. Also why there is a Counties-Waikato team.

            Sheer lack of numbers for the worlds greatest tipping comp, bar none!

              As @Stargazer and @Hooroo say it is down to a lack of players. But each year, we re-organise the teams based on who joins. Back in 2006 when the first NPC Tipping Comp was run, we had 12 teams - those were the days

              c788d8d8-aee2-46ce-b513-aeeb479c9e68-image.png

              So to join, just tip Week 1 and I'll form up the teams after the tips are in - 6 players per team is ideal, 5 is minimum.

                  Lets see if I can be the first to go from top to bottom in a year. @Winger should start in negatives to penalize his excellent tipping consistency. πŸ™‚

                      Hoping the likes of @trooa and/or @Snollygoster turn out for the Bay tipping team this season. (see details on this thread).

                                        Last call to enter the tipping competition, the first game is tonight. 29 entrants so far not including myself and a few regulars are yet to join - if we can get to 40+ that will be perfect for an 8 team competition.

                                                My key is remembering to tip each week. And mostly not getting the teams back the front. Even then I still have had a few awful years where all results go against my picks

                                                  27 of 48 entries in for this week, get your tips in before the first game tonight. You need to be one of the top 16 scorers for the weekend to go straight to the main TSF Cup draw - everyone below 16 will go into a qualifying round next week.

                                                    Can’t seem to find a website that would provide the team lists for week 3. Do you guys know of any? I have searched google with no results. Are the AB’s out of the teams for week 3? And if you are enthusiastic a individual weather report would be good since all I see in CA is blue skies :-).

                                                      @broughie Most teams haven't been named, yet. And you can find them all on the Fern, if the team lists have been published.
