Starting Soon - Team Tipster Comp

The Rules

There will be 7 fortnightly rounds, 14 weeks in total.
Each round and each week within rounds will begin on a Sunday and finish on a Saturday.
Each team will have 8 selections per week, one from each player, duplicate selections are allowed but no duplicate selections within teams at any time. Players must use their 1 selection per week, it cannot be carried over to the other week in the round.
10pts win or 5pts EW on British, Irish & French racing, selected any day, Sunday through Saturday, the week ends on the last Saturday race.
Settled at SP, EW terms as industry standard.
Selections must be posted before race time. On Saturdays there will be a 3pm cut-off for selections, that is you may pick in any race after that but it has to be posted by 3pm.
Once you have posted a selection you are not allowed to change it or the stake, unless it becomes a non-runner or is a duplicate.
Non Runners - that team member may choose again for that week.
If you are selecting in a race on Saturday, in the event of a non-runner, you will automatically have 10pts win on the fav in the same race as your selection.
However, you may replace your non-runner with any new selection, provided you do so prior to the race time of the original selection and adhere to the Saturday 3pm cut-off.
If there are jt or co-favs then lowest racecard no. is chosen.
Reserve selections are not allowed, nor is posting "just-in-case"  selections for team mates that may or may not turn up.

Wildcards are available to cover holiday or other absence and covering for non-runners.
Team captains will be responsible for managing any wildcards required, there are no restrictions on their use, but please try and share them around so that no one individual is always claiming them. Please also name who the wildcard is for when posting.

Teams will start the week from a baseline of 0pts. This equates to 8 losing selections and/or non-selections.
Subsequent scores will be added to this baseline plus return of the winning part of the stake (10pts for win and EW winner, 5pts for EW placed). All scores count.
Scores will be accumulated through the fortnight, there will be no points awarded for weekly finishing positions.

Points structure for overall comp: (if 6 teams)
Fortnightly winners will receive 10pts, runners-up - 6pts, 3rd - 4pts, 4th - 3pts, 5th - 2pts, 6th - 1pt

GL with this ud, looks like you may need to persuade some of the old players to post their interest on here - HR - forum, rather then the Competitions forum

So far we have three teams reforming but may need new players to fully replenish.
These are:
Humbugs - salmon spray (capt.)
Lucky Pin Club - shanelee1966 (capt.)
Each Way Thieves - stewpot (capt.)

Thanks salmon.

Come on people, plenty on here moaning about this place dying off, let's try and give it a boost with this friendly fun team competition

undecided puts a lot of time and effort into these types of comps.

It`s a great format and above all fun.

glentoby, welcome, please keep an eye on the thread, will have to see the numbers we get and teams will start to flesh out.

I'll start to list out players and teams as we go along.

Anyone fancy heading up a new team?

They haven't taken part in the past but most welcome to join in you want to give them a nudge.

Hi FCH, welcome back and I'm sure shanelee1966 will be pleased to have you back.

From what I've seen of this and t'other thread there should be an Ex-settlers team

welcome acey.
KC, are you in?

ud - for the pins we have Andrew, FCH, china castle & myself so far. Hopefully
GEORGE will also be on board shortly.

Please do not enter yourself under more than one forum user name!





That's Hunty's two teams gone.

Humbugs have 5 all from 2014 including shearer's identical twin. Will be trying to get other ex-Humbugs for the next few days,and then the press gang will be patrolling the forum   

I am trying to get a full team of ex-Humbugs ud,but if the strays don't show up by Wed I will recruit from those who have registered an interest.
Could glentoby's lot be re-named The Feeler-Uppers please as they have already approached a Humbug     

Good to see things coming together.
