Some of you may remember going back a few years I ran a team tipster competition.
I am bringing it back for a one-off run this summer/autumn.
As it's a one-off and I want to attract some new blood to our competitions, I will run it here on the Horse Racing forum rather than the Your Competitions forum.
I am aiming for 6 teams of 8, 48 players in total but more would be good too.
I'll post the format/rules below.

There will be some teams already reforming from last time, but I'm open to new teams forming.
Please sign up below but you need to be able to commit to about 14 weeks comp duration, albeit minimal weekly input - 1 selection per player.
Each team will need a captain, you may throw your hat in the ring now and build a team from the list of entrants.

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

It's time for someone from the Pool of Talent to come forward and Captain a new team.

I think Cleeve Hill Mob will reform albeit half depleted, but I don't think Dunters Punters or Racing Demons are showing much signs of life.

Hi undecided and all the participants,good news and bad news to impart.16 hours in total spent between most of yesterday and 1 hour ago going through hoops and every neuroligical test known to humankind.The results which are not conclusive ruled out any permanent damage and suggest short term effect from the drug infusions and combination of those I was already taking!!!Happy

The next hurdle is the 17th and hopefully the last infusion.Up to you guys what you think is the good/bad news element but just a note for striding and the team,Ricardo said not to get me to give any tips for at least 5 days post then.When I asked him "Will I be ok to bet2? He advised avoiding anything that involved vital decisions until my cerebral functions settled down.

I am particularly elated at these results as he also said "You may find yourself in an elevated euphoria for a short period and your cognizance may be heightened".

So up to you to decide good or bad?Grin
