THE 2012 BETFAIR GOLF COMPETITION
Well done to bringbackcatford for an excellent win in the 2011 comp just holding off a stern challenge from Midnight Special in the final stage. The 2012 competition starts in 2 weeks and anyone who wishes to enter should put their name down on this thread. The rules follow this post and also the schedule of events follow too. Prize money cannot be determined at this stage. There will be cash prizes for sure but until Betfair respond to my request for 2012 sponsorship, I cannot be specific about the prizes. We do have an anonymous sponsor for £250 as normal but I hope this will increase once BF have responded. Prizes should be known and communicated nefore the first ball is struck. Nevertheless, the cash is secondary to the kudos of winning one of the longest and most difficult comps to win on Betfair !!!
Once I know the number of entrants I will announce the cut off numbers going forwards into the 2nd stage and the 3rd stage. The 15 prequaifiers will automatically be entered in the 2nd stage whether or not they compete in the first stage and regardless of where they finish if they do.
I hope to see many of you back from last year and a few new ones too. Just enter your name on this thread and by the Monday prior to the first scoring tournament (9th Jan) I will allocate the group you should post in. Anyone posting after this date will be given a group to post in by default so no one should have an excuse for not entering.
Rules are the same... there are many suggestions each year for changes but the comp has been running for a number of years now with few changes and I see no difference to this year. Good luck all who enter and let the battle commence !!!

4 How to enter?
Please enter your name on the invitation thread and await the start of the competition
Entries will be accepted up until the start of the first tournament on the 12th January. Entries after this WILL be accepted but will score -120 for any tournaments missed.
5 How to select?
You are allowed to choose 3 golfers from each event that is covered plus you can nominate one reserve who will be used if one of your first choices pull out before the start of the tournament.
Once your players have started the tournament the sub cannot be used.
Only 1 of the Top 3 in the betting ( selected each week by Madmaxkelly) will be allowed
[b] You must put the initial and surname of each golfer. Please note that if there is a doubt as to which golfer you mean,
your reserve will be used or a MC (Missed Cut) score will credited. Eg. Clarke would be void as it could be D.Clarke or T.Clark.
Better still print the entire name of your choice to be sure. Every year competitors are caught out by this. [/b]
Changes are only allowed if there is a non runner and it is prior to the advertised start time.
Reserve will be allocated to the first named non runner only. You cannot choose who is replaced if you have 2 non runners so pick your runners in priority order.
Only the listed events count for scoring purposes.
