Please take a couple of minutes to read the full rules carefully.
Main points summarised:
I will nominate 3 races for each Saturday round (going up to 4 for the semis and final) and you must pick one selection from each race.
There is no SP element, you simply get points according to finishing positions 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th.
All selections to be posted by time of first race, non-runners can be replaced up to this time also and any that aren't, you will be on the fav.
Duplicates are ok but in the event of a scoring tie, you will be at a disadvantage if you posted 2nd.
Please post on this thread, in the following format:

The rules:
Players will play each other on a knockout basis. Each round will take place on a Saturday Round 1 (last 64) - 10 Dec Round 2 (last 32) - 17 Dec Round 3 (last 16) - 7 Jan Quarter Finals - 14 Jan Semi Finals - 21 Jan Final & 3rd place play-off - 28 Jan I will pick 3 races, on the Thursday/Friday before each round, 2 will be NH and one AW, weather permitting. (This will be increased to 4 races for the semi-finals onwards). Players will be required to pick one horse from each of those 3 races. All selections must be in by the time of the first race of that particular round. Non runners can be replaced only up to the time of the first race, after that any non-runners will be replaced with fav, or lowest racecard no. jt/co favs. You will get points for each selection's finishing position down to 4th place. Winner = 10pts Runner-up = 6pts 3rd = 4pts 4th = 2pts Player with most points for all 3 races wins the match. In the event of a scoring tie, the player with most winners/runners-up/3rd/4th placers in that order, will win through. Next, if still equal, if there was a duplicate selection in the match then the player posting first will go through. If that doesn't separate players, or in the event of a 0v0 tie then we'll look at who had most 5th placed selections or 6th etc. Finally if that still doesn't produce a result then the player who posted their selections first will go through. Any no show in a match and the opponent goes through by walkover, don't ask what happens if both players fail to post! Example: Player A has one winner, one 5th place and one 7th, that's 10pts for the winner and none for the others. Player B has one 2nd, one 3rd and one 6th, that's 6pts for the 2nd plus 4pts for the 3rd = 10pts. So it's a tie but Player A will go through because they had the winner. Another example: Player A has a 2nd, 4th and 6th, that's 6+2 = 8 Player B has a 2nd, 4th and 5th, that's the same 6+2 = 8 Player B wins because of the better 5th position finisher. |

I'm looking at these: The Spinal Research Gold Cup @ 2.30 Cheltenham Then maybe the 3.20 Donc, the Bet mobile at Victor C Hcap Chase. The Class 2 hcap, the 8.20 Wolves looks as if it will have a decent field The above are provisional |
