DIVISION 3 WEDNESDAY Aug 1

Can't do the final table yet, because a certain person who shall remain nameless (but his/her initials are MOB) couldn't find a winner before 9.05 tonight. Not that I'm complaining you understand. He/she has as much right to pick that race as any other. It's all about freedom and democracy. Absolutely.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Well done on promotion, Reged... and thanks for the hard work this month etc

Reged I will be missing for the second half of August so rather than leave instructions, going to have a month off if that is ok.

That's a shame pumph, but up to you of course. As long as you come back in September!

Thanks Weaver

Yes, may well come back refreshed & even tip a winner
Will have one more  go at the lay comp, if I am still in it in seventeen days time I may have to cancel my holiday

Heres hoping for a better show as last mth was a complete disaster

Tightfist your old buddy here ...This 2.35 your Olympic Glory v zips  Ghurair to qoute your words  i dont expect it to win  thats Olympic Glory  well zip hopes mine is past the post you can have 2/1 right now ..... lump on big time

Next, the competition rules, for newcomers and anyone else who needs reminding!
.

1. - You have to choose 1 horse each day. Winners will be returned at SP/Industry Prices and stake is 1 point. If no SP/Industry Price is returned winning selections will be settled as non-runners. Non selection means a loser.

2. - All UK and Irish races are eligible along with the Dubai Festival and the Sunday Arc de Triomphe meet.

3. - Selections must be made AT LEAST 1 hour before your selected race. Failure to comply will result in the selection being declared Invalid and treated as a Non Selection.

4. - Selections may be changed as long as it is BEFORE 1hr prior to original race OR if selection is a NR or deemed invalid ( Rule 3 MUST still be adhered to).

5. - Rule 4 and Dead Heat rules will apply to SP/Industry Prices.

6. - Sunday selections will be optional. No deductions for non posters. (it will be compulsory if Sunday is last day of the month).

7. - LAST DAY RULES for every last day of the month : all selections must be made BY THE SCHEDULED OFF OF THE FIRST RACE of the day, you can't choose an horse already selected and only named horses are allowed (no instructions).

8. Instructions to cover holiday / day can't post will be allowed but under the following STRICT guidelines :
- The dates for which instructions are to be used must be clearly stated (Sundays will not have instructions applied unless EXPLICITLY stated otherwise).
- Instructions will be applied to UK races only UNLESS explicitly stated otherwise.
- Only 10 days on instructions which do not name horses (i.e last fav , Spotform's nap etc) will be allowed each month. Once that has been exceeded one point per day will be deducted.
- Horses selected from the five day entries will be allowed. If they do not run they will be treated under the non runners rule and will not count towards the 10 day instruction maximum.
- In the case of more than one favourite in a race Instructions will be settled on the favourite with lowest race-card number.

9. In the event of a tie the person who has used least instructions will be deemed to finish above the person they have tied with.

10. In the event of a major Betfair upgrade which may affect the ability to post on the Forum before racing starts that day will have Sunday rules applied (ie. no deduction for non-posters).

Retirements

I've had a rethink about these and decided that Trusty had it right all along - having people hanging around without posting for two weeks or more annoys the hell out of me. It skews the table and is rude to those who make the effort. Also it is a **** having to keep track of them. So I have decided to simplify and tighten up the procedure.

-- If people show the courtesy to tell me they will be away for a period that's fine. I will simply apply the normal rules and they will remain in the competition.

-- If a napster stays silent and accrues a boxful of 'd's in the form column they will be retired.

-- If a napster decides the comp is not for him/her I would appreciate it if they say so, thereby allowing me to retire them quickly. It also means they will not be put on the list below.

-- I am keeping a file of "p-takers' - their future posts will be ignored. These are people who regularly post one or two naps at the start of the month then disappear without trace. If they REALLY want to take a proper part in the comp at some future date they can beg. And if they are readmitted and take the p again they will go on a blacker than black list, NEVER to return.

I keep forgetting f a g is banned!

Reged   

I'm going to retire from what has proved to be the hardest competition of all A losing run of 95 has crushed stronger men

Good Luck to all those with the stamina to see out the trip and run the Leagues

Respect to you all

Sorry to hear that Virg, but respect to you for trying. It was a lot of fun too!

Reged just seen 1 hour rule.... Guess that is me out,,,,

NO GAV!!!!! Yes, your selection today is invalid, but this goes on through the month so if you're keen to join in I'm dead keen to have you in. So what I'll do is put this down as an invalid entry - you'll lose a point the same as if it had lost, and you post again tomorrow REMEMBERING THE 1-HOUR RULE! Deal?

OK looks like the nag didnt make it anyway, so you've lost nothing. But just to clarify GAV, this is a BACKING comp, not a laying one yeah? I only raise that because I had Iwon come on here full of beans earlier thinking it was the laying comp!

Actually, what I'll do is leave it for now and leave you a message on the Lay Comp thread. You can easily join tomorrow if you want to - any time of the month in fact.
