ITM Cup Tipping Competition

  1. Somerset SC Somerset

    As requested by Hurricane, your ITM Cup tipping competition! I'll set up a similar topic on CW and then combine the standings to have plenty of competitors (fingers crossed).

    One point per correct tip. The highest scoring tipper(s) per round get an extra .1 to try and break ties at the end of the season. Two points for semi-final tips and three for finals, as per the scoring on CW.

    Round one fixtures:
    23/8 Hawkes Bay vs Auckland
    24/8 Manawatu vs Wellington
    24/8 Tasman vs Canterbury
    25/8 BOP vs Taranaki
    25/8 Otago vs Northland
    26/8 North Harbour vs Waikato
    26/8 Counties Manukau vs Southland

    Are we going to include Heartlands games too?
     
  8. Somerset SC Somerset

    If the majority wants to tip Heartland Championship matches, then I'll definitely include it. Vote yes/no so I can get an indication of interest. Perhaps the Heartland matches would count as a separate round with a 0.1 bonus for topping the Heartland tipping each week.
     
  9. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    Would be keen, and the season pretty much mirrors the ITM Cup season this year so it should work well.

    I vote against Heartland - if we are going to do it run it as a concurrent competition. IE get your tips in for both and they get tracked separately.

    Man up. It's all part of the NPC. Divisions 3 & 4 on top of the ITM Cup's Divisions 1 & 2.

    23/8 Hawkes Bay vs Auckland
    24/8 Manawatu vs Wellington
    24/8 Tasman vs Canterbury
    25/8 BOP vs Taranaki
    25/8 Otago vs Northland
    26/8 North Harbour vs Waikato
    26/8 Counties Manukau vs Southland

    I am open to compromises - if you can think of one. But don't want it counting equal.

    I don't enjoy doing tips from reading score lines - and maybe catching the odd glimpse of a game two weeks after its been played at 10:30 on Wednesday night. All I know about Heartland is that Wanganui wins.

    Why don't we use Superbru???

    Saves the organization and so forth.
     
  17. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    It's died when I've tried to run one in the past as people can't be arsed to login and make their picks whilst guys are on Cricsim all the time and can just add their picks here when they see them.

    And, of course, Superbru doesn't include Heartlands :p
     
  18. Hurricane JD Hurricane

    ^also you have to tip winning margins - which put me off.

    The week for away teams.

    A tad hard with it being a wee while away still and no lineups so may change my mind a bit....
