Cheers maggot.

I'm pleased to say that most have signed in and hopefully those who haven't will remember to show up for the first round!

Thanks George, i forgot all about it with being so busy over Christmas and New Year

koddy lodging an objection ?

This is a fix rob22 sends message to george then miraculously draws me.

Questions will be asked.

The message was about some body i had entered who was on hols and doesn't want to take part,hope that clears the matter up,
but it is still nice getting a by in the first round

Koddy dont want me playing for the dogs trust then

What a warped lad he is . . . TROLL

When is this kicking off again george

TA in advance

IAL, the 26th, all selections must be posted by noon.

Ooh, I can't wait!

No doubt you will be hoping it lasts longer than the last one did for you!

Surely he never asked when it started

Hopeing for me to put a troll answer up so i look the thwat . . . . sneaky sly paddy, every fooker knows when it starts . . But predictable.

WTF

Only joking, I was beaten by a superior opponent on the day

Oh Gawd... not again !

have to say i was going to ask the same question cause i couldnt see it on a quick look through the thread

Exactly the same here. I thought as it was bumped it was sooner

Hi George,
Just picked three for tomorrow then realised I'm a week early!

Thought I'd put them up though, just to put the fear of God into adamanty!!!!

1.20    Exeter    Qualando 100.00 win
3.20    Exeter    Marie Des Anges 100.00 win
3.40    Wolves    Persona Grata 100.00 win

For clarity - I assume place odds are settled on betfair rules (your Rule 9 states this?) i.e two places in 3 and 4 runner races? And no. of places available is not reduced due to non-runners as we would find at the bookies?

Looking forward to next Monday,
Cheers,
Mad.

Who did you play?

I anticipate the January comp will start either the 19th or 26th,

Well since no one out of a 128 players has put a selection up for tomoro yet i guess its the 26th . . .

But im the fick one

would call you thick but it wasnt obvious to me or a FEW others by the look of it

26th it is then, good luck all

no, i am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

should have read wouldnt oops

Yeah ok dealer . . . Whatever.

Goodnight all 8 more sleeps to go.

chill ffs

I'm sure the date was stated when I first posted the draw, but apologies I should have kept posting the date as well as the draw.

Yes madhatter, Betfair's place terms apply. Good luck with your 3 picks!


rob22, Norfolk

Tomdid you watch Kaymer fall to bits . . .Wasnt pretty that game can send you mental

George its not a problem but i geniunely couldnt see a start date


didnt mate was working must have been the worse ever, he was ten clear after 6 holes when i stopped watching

Chill?? Im as chilled as fook . . . . you know and i know why the daft paddy asked that stupid question but hey ho.

yes george - i remember you specifically saying somewhere on the thread that 26th is the starting date

i dont because imo it wasnt a stupid question but only my opinion

I also presumed people would have read about TheNorfolkMafia insisting we put the comp on hold until salmon had finished his holiday!

jeez we'll call it the start date scandal

The young lad who won it was in tears after, was great to see it for him but Kaymers head must of been scrambled.

Need my kip . . .Godbless betfair forumites and paddy.

same here - night all

[b]The Rules: Please note the amendment to rule 12, in the event of a tie[/b]

2015 HR FORUM MATCHPLAY CHALLENGE

Winner's Purse: £150

THE RULES

Please familiarise yourself with them and feel free to ask any questions if you're unsure about anything

1. A draw to determine who plays who will be made before each round.

2. Each player will receive a mythical £300 to place on 3 bets (£100 on each).

3. ALL SELECTIONS MUST BE POSTED BEFORE NOON FOR THAT DAY'S ROUND. Failure to do will result in elimination from the competition.

3. Only one selection per race - ie more than one horse cannot be selected in the same race

4. Win and place bets on a horse will count as 1 bet, so for example, £50 EW or £30 win & £70 place.

5. UK and Irish racing only

6. MULTIPLE BETS ARE NOT PERMITTED

7. ALL 3 SELECTIONS MUST BE POSTED AT THE SAME TIME.

8. PLEASE ENSURE ALL 3 SELECTIONS ARE CLEARLY PRESENTED, AND INCLUDE THE RACE TIME AND MEETING, for example:

Bet 1: Desert Orchid, £50 EW, 2.00 Kempton

Bet 2: Kauto Star, £100 win, 3.00 Kempton

Bet 3: Sir Rembrandt, £80 win and £20 place, 4.00 Chepstow


9. Betfair odds will be used to settle bets (no commission applied:

10. No duplicate selections, whoever takes the chance of showing their picks first will have first choice. If an opponent then selects the same horse, it will be settled as a loser, regardless of the outcome.

11. Non-runners: Please ensure your selections are still intended runners at the time of posting,  non-runners selected AFTER they have already been withdrawn will be settled as losers.
Also please check if your selection has been declared more than once.

In a nutshell, a NR will only be settled as a loser if:

i) Its 2nd preference is selected but it runs at its first preference
ii) A horse is selected AFTER it has already been declared a NR.

12. In the event of a tie, up to and including the semi-finals, the competitor whose 3 selections would have won the most money had they all obliged, will go through.

In the unlikely event of a tie that can't be settled using the above method, whoever took the chance of posting first will go through.

For the final only, in the event of a tie, there will be a replay

13. If neither player turns up for a match, or for whatever reason both players are eliminated from the competition (eg they posted their selections after noon), in order to to ensure there are the correct number of players going through to the next round, the highest scoring loser(s) will qualify.

* The only exception being the first round when reserves will take the places of those who don't post, in draw order.


14. In the event of a dispute, I will ensure that fair play and common sense prevails, therefore my decision will be final.

15. Profit & Loss totals do not include the stake. For example, if you selected a 2-1 ON winner and 2 losers, your loss will be £150

16. RULE REGARDING INSPECTIONS

IF SELECTING AT A MEETING WHERE AN INSPECTION HAS BEEN CALLED, PLEASE ENSURE YOU SELECT A RESERVE AT A MEETING WHERE THERE IS NO PLANNED / PRECAUTIONARY INSPECTION.

FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN YOUR SELECTION BEING SETTLED AS A LOSER IF THE MEETING IS ABANDONED.

ONCE A MEETING HAS BEEN GIVEN THE GO-AHEAD, THERE IS NO NEED TO POST A RESERVE IF YOU DON'T WISH TO, AND NORMAL NON-RUNNER RULES WILL APPLY.

THIS RULE HAS BEEN ADDED TO ENSURE THERE IS NO TACTICAL SELECTING AT MEETINGS THAT ARE LIKELY TO BE CALLED OFF.

Thank you for your cooperation and ensuring the rules are fair for all.

Good luck all and may the best man or woman win!

Fook me pink

All this sh!te from asking a simpld question to the OP

8 more sleeps

I have seen the draw and I'm looking forward to it. Sorry if I appear a bit thick but what day does it actually start?

Cheers

Monday 26th, jimster. The thread for selections will be up next Sunday, all selections to be posted by noon on Monday.

There will then be, weather permitting, a round each day. Good luck!

what's betfair rules apply?

xmoneyx, bets will be settled at BFSP, and Betfair place terms will apply.

Just to say, as the Dubai carnival results are now on the Timeform results page (not sure that has always been the case), selections for the Carnival will be permitted.

lol

Block On Block Off

Thick as pigs sh1t

George I did not take part in the last competition but from what I saw you ran it extremely well but I see that at 22.15 you said that it was UK and Irish racing only and underlined the words. Then about 100 minutes later you said that the Dubai carnival will be included. Dare I suggest that this is moving the goal-posts a bit. It doesnt worry me really but should we be making changes willy nilly or as Tommy Cooper would say just like that.

Sounds like a good idea to include Dubai could well lose some meetings ,there is only two days racing which would count anyway .
Tbh some of the days are poor ,the Tuesday is naff and if Taunton is off its even naffer ,with only ling and the southwell on
would rather take my chance at the trotting at Vincennes ,Cagnes or Pau 

Are we at the dogs if a big freeze kicks in and the all weather freezes ?

Not sure if that list is correct so dont take it as gospel

Arklearkle, I had initially included Dubai, however, it occurred to me that in the past the results might not have been on the Timeform results page (which would be a problem when it came to settling any place bets), so I removed it from the rules.

Having checked though, they are on this year, so given we could be bereft of domestic meetings, we'll include it.

As long as everyone is aware that selections are allowed at Meydan, and I will highlight it on the appropriate days, there's not a problem. 

breadnbutter, there are no plans to include greyhound racing!

Cheers for the info George, looking forward to this

HC
