I ran this last year (with a little help from Baggers with the scoring) and it was quite successful, so another go this year too.
Last year I provided the prizes, which were duly despatched to Whippet (Well done on your win again).
I have asked Betfair if they would be kind enough to put a prize forward this year, and I'm still awaiting their response. After last year's competition, they did say they'd be interested, so we'll see. If any sponsorship/prize is kindly donated, we'll all be playing for that! If not, it's just for pride and to say you've done better than everyone else.

Here are the Categories and Scoring.
All the names in each category are the only ones which count

Good news - Betfair have kindly agreed to support this competition to the tune of £300.

I think we'll play for that, despite the kind offers of added prize money from a couple of entrants (we can save that for another day perhaps) Thanks for the offer Kincsem, and coksuker, and any other offers I may have missed.

Anyway in keeping with this being a Golf tournament - The TOP 4 will be in line for a payout:

So 1st place £120, 2nd Place gets £80, 3rd £60, and £40 for 4th place.
All winnings will be paid straight into winners accounts.
