Yes please Foyles.
By the way a suggestion as to points: (eg) 2 a win 1 a place doubled if runner SP is 5/1 to 10/1
and tripled if over 10/1. Just an idea.
Thanks for organizing.

I'll have a few guesses Foyleswar, i'm well out of touch with form this season due to problems at home but glad to support you.
Yes please.
How about a mythical £100 per person. Stake it as you please before the first race.
Winner with the biggest profit.
Singles, doubles, trebles, forecasts. Whatever floats your boat.

I'll play and if you want any help with the scoring I'll offer my services.
yes you are in ud and yes if you could help with scoring would be great I didn't want to ask as I know you have enough on your plate with all those other comps so thanks very much for the offer and good luck.
very disappointed as i thought this was going to be a chance to dress up as alexandra bastedo, so I'm out
gl to you all
gl to you all
no problem FOYLESWAR, I just need to tweak a spreadsheet 
2pts per race, either 2pts win or 1pt EW?
Let me know what place terms, the usual or any enhanced.
Non-runners - points back?

keep it simple ud normal place terms and what evers easiest for you with you regarding nonners
ok, I was just thinking that if we get bigger fields, maybe 4 places/quarter odds is fairer, let's see what the decs are tomorrow.
yeah sorry ud yeah if they do enhanced odds on big fields we can go with that
I happy with any format just one suggestion that shouldn’t complicate anything is allowing 2 ew or 4 win on your strongest fancy so that would be 6 x 2 point bets and one 4 point bet .
Jimnast, I get your suggestion, but Foyles has already stated the rules and i wouldn't want to be doing the scoring
If you want to run a separate Competition then I'll take part in that as well

Fair point reg and I’m sure it will be a great comp under those rules.
It will jimnast, I'd price myself up at 999/1... I never do well in these competitions
i cant do those spreadsheets or even those tables that top2 rated put up earlier in the thread ,thankfully undecided has offered to help and he has vast exp in comps ,i woulda been writing the scores down with pen and paper woulda been a slow process without undecideds help .
Top2rated why don’t you explain to foyles how to copy and paste the cells onto a forum…..
Big price that reg it’s a one day comp only 7 races even rishi wouldn’t be 999
Canny see to many Premier Division Winners amongst that lot.
Nay surprise tay see that excuse of a man rico has bottled right oot.
Can I have a bash Foyles ? Currently Div 3 in the Naps comp so shouldnt pose a threat to all the Pros on here.
Keep trying for that top spot Glasgow....Remember Robert The Bruce And The Spider.
There was once a king of Scotland whose name was Robert Bruce. He had need to be both brave and wise, for the times in which he lived were wild and rude. The King of England was at war with him and had led a great army into Scotland to drive him out of the land.
Battle after battle had been fought. Six times had Bruce led his brave little army against his foes; and six times had his men been beaten and driven into flight. At last, his army was scattered, and he was forced to hide himself in the woods and in lonely places among the mountains.
One rainy day, Bruce lay on the ground under a rude shed, listening to the patter of the drops on the roof above him. He was tired and sick at heart, and ready to give up all hope. It seemed to him that there was no use for him to try to do anything more.
As he lay thinking, he saw a spider over his head, making ready to weave her web. He watched her as she toiled slowly and with great care. Six times she tried to throw her frail thread from one beam to another, and six times it fell short.
“Poor thing!” said Bruce: “you, too, know what it is to fail.”
But the spider did not lose hope with the sixth failure. With still more care, she made ready to try for the seventh time. Bruce almost forgot his own troubles as he watched her swing herself out upon the slender line. Would she fail again? No! The thread was carried safely to the beam, and fas-tened there.

FOYLESWAR/undecided - By my calculations there are currently 35 forumites in the comp and there's still a couple of days to go.
thanks ud yeah thats much better ,am to go with that well done and good luck.
Would you like to kick off a selections thread then?
I'm happy to have no limits on number of entries, he says bravely

Undecided, it's Foyles competition, but surely only one entry per person?
I'll have a go and put up my entries tomorrow as I'm going on Saturday.
Well done to Foyles and Undecided for their good work.

FOYLESWAR, do you want to start a new thread for selections and we can crack on?
What if there are nons undecided ?
Best waiting until Saturday morning imv…

Thanks undecided. So will the points be based on SP's for both win and place?
SP yes.
Some might want to post early, non-runners can be replaced up to 1st race anyway.

I certainly want to post early as will be unable to on Saturday
Cheers undecided That's the best way. If it were simply 2 pts a win regardless off odds then the
logical approach would be to pick favs in every race which would be kind of boring. Based on SP's
much more fun!

Crowd expected to be a record for this fixture including frankels last run and still some say the fixture shouldn’t be happening.
When did noon get a crack btw? Thank you for not entering? Which one of you posted at 17.58?
Thank you so much for your congenial company. How is Mr Daniel’s tonight?
Guys i have bumped the ascot champions day selections thread up please put selections up on there and look at the rules
Been a lot of views on the thread ,possible a sudden rush just before the comp kicks off just like in the bookies in the old days just as they are going into the stalls a flood of punters running to the counter in the last seconds old habits die hard. Give yourselves plenty of time guys
no your in toffee girl but get your selections in before the 1st race at ascot starts and put them on the selections thread thanks and good luck.
yes well done undecided woulda struggled without him tbf
