Kia ora koutou, after a 4 year hiatus we're bringing back the tipping comp for the season. Here's how it works:

1) $10 entry, payable at the end, to the winner. Some nominate charities for it to be paid to, however not compulsory.
2) Entries must be in by kickoff of the first game, and no I don't remind you if you haven't.
3) Everyone hates a quitter, so if you start, stay in for the season.
4) I always pick first, so I don't see your picks, and aren't cheating. I'm happy to show the results page, it's timestamped.
5) It's for fun, however all banter is appreciated and welcomed.
6) I aim to have the results and next round picks up by Monday, however some weekends are bigger than others so it may be a little late.
7) The first week you pick what will happen in week 1, and what the table will be at the end. I add in Chatham Cup rounds on those weekends too.

Make your picks for the final table here, and for the first round here

Previous winners include:  2016: Bumblebee, 2017: Broonie,  2018: Global Game, 2019 FC69

Good luck!

Here's the table, and link to next week's picks are here. Please note the formula used to separate those with equal points is similar to the A-League, where no one seems to know what it is and somehow my name comes out on top. :-)

Only a suggestion - I wonder if with many quite "predictable" games in the league, it could be worth doing a 3+ win option. i.e. Home wins by 3+, home wins by 1-2, draw, away wins by 1-2, away wins by 3+. Rather than just picking who wins because I'm guessing we all had CU and Coastal wins in Round 1!

But anyway run it however you like of course, I will keep picking regardless 😁

Hi, sorry for the late update, still getting over my Nelson heartbreak, and the football. Next week's picks are here, I gave new entry lsmith1001 the lowest score from the easy week one just to get them in the game. Good luck!

Well done on getting your picks in early, much better than the guy getting the results in. 

For those that love pre-match stats, we've all picked Chch Utd, Nomads and Nelson to win, with most picking Bays, the other 3 picking draws. In the game of the round, half of us pick Cash Tech, 3 pick the draw and 2 great humans picked Coastal. 

Good luck to most you!

I've tried to be much more on time this week than last, despite the dramas of yesterday's game. Wow.

Here's the link to next week's picks, and the table is below. Good luck!
