Copy of the Rules which no-one ever reads . . .
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 GB 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.
- In the case of more than one favourite in a race, Instructions on the 2nd favourite will be settled on the favourite with lowest race-card number.
- All instructions are subject to the 1 hour Rule i.e. if you post a selection after 1hr before the off-time of your instruction then it will be deemed Invalid and the instruction will take precedence.
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).

We managed to get rid of flyingbolt who'd been here since February. A well deserved promotion to Div 1 for him.
And there are a couple who are starting to get a bit long in the tooth - Aquarius and tryoffagain are both beginnin their 9th consecutive month in Div 2.
But travelling man is still out on his own, still wearing the pink jersey, having been here since December 2011. He's part of the furniture now and it just wouldn't be the same here without him.
A big welcome to our 10 newcomers this month, especially the 5 promoted from Div3. Good to have you back again.
It's nice to see some familiar faces dropping down from Div 1 too, but one or two of you have only just escaped a month ago! What went wrong?
