The Rules

KO Cup:
Each team will have 8 selections over one week, one from each player, no duplicate selections (within each match), first come first served.
10pts win or 5pts EW on British, Irish, French (as long as an industry SP is returned) or Dubai racing , selected any day, Sunday through Saturday last race eligible 6.0pm.
Settled at SP, EW terms as industry standard.
Selections must be posted at least one hour before race time.
Once you have posted a selection you are not allowed to change it or the stake, unless it becomes a non-runner or it has already been chosen.
Leaving reserve instructions not allowed.
Non Runners - that team member may choose again for that week.

Wildcards will be available to make up shortfall of numbers or holiday absence. If they are confirmed in advance, then wildcards may be used anytime that following week. If not, then it will be treated as a late wildcard to be used only after noon on Saturday.
Late wildcards will be available after noon on Saturdays to cover unexpected absence so if you may be leaving your selection til after this time you should let your team know otherwise they may use it.
Maximum two wildcards or late wildcards per any one team member per week.

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.
If there is a tie on weekly profit (or lack of) then a replay will be scheduled.

Note, the draw for the semi-finals will be determined as follows:
Of the four teams that qualify, the team with the best QF score will play the team with the lowest score and 2nd will play 3rd.
