Monday 12th: Round 2
Tuesday 13th: Round 3
Wednesday 14th: Round 4
Thursday 15th: Quarter-finals
Friday 16th: Semi-finals
Saturday 17th: The final
Rules:
All selections must be posted before the first race of the day.
Selections:
You have a mythical £300 to put on 3 selections (£100 on each) in 3 different races - this can be win and / or place, so for example:
£60 win and £40 place.
To progress to the next round you have to do better than your opponent in terms of profit / loss.
Up until the final (please see below regarding the format for the final), you may select in any race run under rules in the UK or Ireland
Winning bets will be settled at BFSP (no commission applied) - and place terms will be the same as Betfair's, so for example, if there are 3 places on the Betfair market despite there being only 7 runners after NRs, there will be 3 places for settling purposes.
Additional place markets do not count.
Please note:
Your stake is not included in any returns, qualification is determined by profit / loss on your 3 selections.
Duplicate Selections:
Are not permitted, first come first served. If you duplicate any of your opponent's selections it will be settled as a loser.
The Final - October 17th:
Both finalists will be required to make a selection in each of the races on Ascot's Champions Day card, again using the above format with £100 to stake on each selection. Again duplicate selections are not permitted.
Non-runners:
-Can be replaced any time before the first race of the day.
-Will incur no loss as long as posted before the horse was declared a NR.
Reserves:
Are NOT permitted
In the event of a tie:
The competitor whose selections would have won the most had they obliged will go through.
Fair play:
I will ensure that fair play and common sense prevails and in the unlikely event of a dispute, my decision will be final.

It's looks like the highest scoring loser will qualify
An excellent turn out but a few haven't posted, including 2 form the same match.

Hong kong must be a millionaire! A very shrewd judge IMO 
Well done stewarts rise, good luck in the next round.
PLEASE CHECK THE RESULTS LATE TONIGHT / TOMORROW AS THE HIGHEST SCORING LOSER WILL QUALIFY, IF AS IT APPEARS 2 COMPETITORS FROM THE SAME MATCH DID NOT POST
ROUND 2 ON MONDAY, DRAW WILL PROBABLY BE POSTED TOMORROW
ROUND 2 ON MONDAY, DRAW WILL PROBABLY BE POSTED TOMORROW
There was a tie between LacticsLegend and Addictedtowinning - and it is LacticsLegend who qualifies as his selections would have won the most had they obliged. Hard lines Addicted'.
That's why there's a day's 'rest' Foyleswar - to give myself plenty of time!
been unable to post selections, Good luck to all in the comp!!!
Thanks posy , very scrappy win.
0 from 6 at Chelmsford between us says it all

Apologies for not posting George B - no excuses - forgot

No probs elvissss, there's always next time!
There was a tie between Da Special 1 and rayzorsharp, and Da Special 1 is through as his picks would have won more had they obliged. Unlucky rayzorsharp.
I'm not going to get through them all tonight but will have them done sometime tomorrow morning, with the draw for Monday posted shortly after.

There was also a draw between themuppet and Shanelee1966, and as themuppet's selections would have returned the bigger profit had they obliged, he is through to R2. Sorry Shane!
We've had a few draws, and there was tie between eds60 and scooper 82, and this time it's eds60 who progresses. Hard lines scooper82 and better luck next time.
Shane probably won't be sobered by the time of Round 2 anyway 
Dickie Bird & Different Gravy tied, there wasn't much in it but DIFFERENT GRAVY 12's picks would have won the most had they obliged and so is through to R2. Unlucky Dickie.
hl elvissss,its to be hoped the the forum does not crash again,dont put me against zsa zsa george
It's looking like mastiffs will be the highest scoring loser, who was incredibly unlucky to lose with a score of £930, but luckily there is a place in R2 for him (unless there's an even higher scoring loser in the few I have left to settle!).
Over £2k profit in the match between xmoneyx and mastiffs 
(I've not got as far as hkf yet )
(I've not got as far as hkf yet )
The following ties also ended in draws:
Sing when ur winning v gutfeeling
motseel v holywell
gutfeeling and motseel qualify as their selections would have won the most had they obliged.

motseel v holywell
gutfeeling and motseel qualify as their selections would have won the most had they obliged.
And mackies-fc qualifies ahead of trev w for the same reason.
east end boy only posted 2 selections, but the rules stipulate you have to post 3, therefore I'm not going to settle the missing selection as a NR, and on the basis that Billposter's 3 selections would have won more than eeb's 2, Billposter qualifies.
hong kong fooey's profit of £2977.40 by far the biggest since we started doing these comps
Erm, hkf has won about 10 more premier titles than you're ever likely to!
Just to confirm, mastiffs qualifies as the highest scoring loser

Thanks George.
Well done muppet.
Thanks George.
I can assure you Salmon it was not a well thought out plan made in advance to wrong foot you by posting my selections late. It was more the case that I remembered I'd signed up for the comp 1/2 an hour before the off time!
It was a bit of an in-joke WP known only to The Humbugs.
Good luck anyway.
