Still de-splintering

Given our topic title I was even considering
Jungle Bay 20-1 in the last as a closure statement
wiil watch the first few Dessie
but sorry to say suspect mine will run after 4.00
so sorry Im of no help to you there
unless I switch to the 'Magnet' Cup mmmmmm

Looked like my drink had been spiked beforehand 7/1 to 14/1
could have been worse good have gone win Cafe Society

best of luck Dessie

back in the groove

There is some serious doubt about the comp returning in the New Year which is perfectly understandable
the pressure & time consumption is enormous on us let alone Undecided
plus to keep the interest at the high level necessary is a very difficult task
All the more credit & supprt goes to Undecided
hope you all give him your support in his 'New Champions League' competition
I will be 

From a personal point many thanks for your support guys
I know I may ramble on in a vain attempt to maintain interest
but it is a TEAM competition & difficult to do at a keyboards length away
we all have different modus operandi in coming up with selections
and its been a pleasure to meet you all & previous members
and allowing me to share the honour of wearing the 'YELLOW E.W. Thieves' jersey

may just keep the topic alive for the big meetings, if I get any visitors
Who knows may well be knocking on your door in the New Year with a begging bowl

hope you enjoyed the fun - I did

PS Well Done everyone, runners up in the Cup when bottom of table ain't no bad feat in itself, but from bottom at half way to get into challenging posiition for 3rd was phenominal.

Lot of water to go under the bridge but if there is a comp next year, I hope we're all still up for it

Sterling work Thieves. I'll drop in from time to time and will have a crack at the Champions League. Enjoy the summer everyone

If next year happens I don't mind staying, fine effort from all in second half of comp and the knock out cup.
Thanks
Mind you that HKF needs to get his act together

Stew
we all go through bad runs it's part and parcel of the sport I am sure soon enough you will rattle in winner after winner.
Just been next door to Stanley Bet to watch the racing walked in 20 to 5 Cyprus time (2hrs ahead) and was greeted by a Blunt "we are closed" despite one chap sat looking up at the screens" I am now sat in reception listening to the commentary on my mobile at 365 started off well with a 1st 2nd 1st, may it continue.

Hi guys

Two two year old 'reputation only' good things today Maxie T & Hot Streak 6/4
so I will oppose them with two of Mick Channons
e.w. double
NEEDLESS SHOUTING & Kickboxer 4's

I thought 16/1 Hawkeyethenoo 22/1 Secret Witness  would give me something to watch
in the pin job races

best of luck guys

Is that a Galway expression Claude
best of luck
just having a quick look at Goodwood see if anything big attracts me in

Well it was half spooky Stewpot!! I think he got the one he wanted

Gonna take a chance with Frankie today and go with Sohar EW in the Goodwood Stakes. Good Luck everyone, and don't forget thechampions league is imminent!!

That will have hurt him yesterday Dessie
but they have some nice horses to come out

In an attempt at my knighthood I will go for a big forecast today
hardest race of the day
King George River (couldnt have won any of his last few races)
with Code Of Honour

any loose change on Caucus

off baby sitting see you tomorrow

PS Just realised  CL comp not until September

Amazing Dessie that was kind of you to ask Sir Robert to give him and everybody else a leg up

I wanted more rain for Wentworth so I am a bit bunkered
may just have a minimum bet if forced on Grecian or Retirement Plan no value there though
probably just climb back on that fence

maybe Golden Future tonight HKF

All well Thieves I hope

I will guess at Escape to Glory ......

A gentle nudge nudge guys DONT FORGET Special AUTUMN Competition

the competition will commence ........... 9th September for 15 weeks


Champions League Tipster Competition 2013

This is a one-off, Horse Race tipping competition, in the style of the football champions league.

The aim is to get 128 players involved, but we'll see what numbers we get and work from there.
If it looks like we'll only get around 64 then I will probably cap it there and we'll start later, missing out the first stage.

If we do get over 64 taking part then the competition will commence ........... 9th September for 15 weeks,
ending on 21st December.
If no more than 64 take part then we'll start a week later 16th September, for 12 weeks, ending on 7th December.

Players will be drawn into groups of 4, and each player will play each other once. Each match lasts one week, during which you only make one selection.
For each player that's 3 matches, 3 selections, over 3 weeks per group stage.
Depending on numbers I plan 5 group stages, see the rules section for details.

As it's matchplay, the main thing is to beat your opponents, not who gets the best P/L figures at the end.
There is however a bonus point for selecting an Evens and above winner, irrespective of win lose or draw the match,
and one more bonus point for best winner in the group.
P/L figure may play a part at the end in the case of a tie on pts.

Start is penciled in for Monday 9th September but keep an eye out for a firm date.

If you are interested in joining in,
PLEASE I BEG YOU to read the rules thoroughly, and be prepared to take part once a week for 15 weeks between September and Christmas,
if good enough of-course! (see holiday cover).
There is also a thread where we had a trial run of a group stage,
you may wish to have a look through it to get acquainted with how it works although bear in mind we have tweaked the rules a bit since then, basically the same though.

Important - I will only accept selections posted under the player's forum name, i.e no posting for others (exception - see holiday cover section in rules).
I know a few of you post on behalf of friends in other competitions, but due to the matchplay nature of this one I will not accept that here.

Looks like myself, yourself, and HKF signed in so far Cap'n

Nunthorpe day was a disaster

Getting close to the finall few guys if you wanted to enter UDs champions league comp and haven't already

Well you guys certainly ensured 3 of the most interesting crowd pulling draws of the first week

Pet emac v Oshun
Tingle v Salmon
Hong Kong v up the boro
Is that you playing yourself HKF.

Best of luck guys
