the rules are simple
12 rounds
head to head
WINNER TAKES ALL

each selection head to head: winner gets 1 point,
HIGHEST FINISIHING ORDER
bonus 1 point if selection wins

winner of the round must be awarded 10 points
if score is say 7 -5
both punters get the same amount of points
so the winner gets to ten
eg round would then be scored 10-8
a round can not be scored as a draw
must be 10-9 if close or if both punters score over 10
the highest winning div gets the 10

points at end of each round
get carried over as round points

to end up with a final score over 12 rounds

Bets must be placed 15 mins prior to jump
or you go onto the sub fav as your pick

If a punter elects to fight in a particular round
and does not post a bet by the end of the first race
STS wins that race and the first one who puts up there hand
to challenge STS for this round
will have the honour of fighting for your 4rum

GOOD LUCK CONTENDERS

wd on finding the winner EC - too good
Report BJT February 12, 2011 2:35 AM GMT
I didn't back it, I just read the rules of the thread and picked the shortest horses at the time.

If I was serious about it, I should have just said I was in for the day, and let the subs pick themselves.  Isn't about value, is about a day of getting closer to a win than others.  Picking the subs you should be good for at least 2-3 wins and 3-4 other placings which is good enough to win this comp from what I have seen....

Seriously, if you don't put your tips in on time, you are given the sub?  With the best chance to win you the round for not tipping?  Hmmmm...

Either way, too much time is involved working scores out if I have to search through the thread, so I will leave it to somebody else..  I may even change a few selections up myself through the day...
