Draw will be based on league positions at end of week 10 such that 1st will play 8th, 2nd will play 7th, 3rd will play 6th and 4th v 5th Quarter Finals will take place in week 1 Semi Finals will take place in week 2 (Four losing teams get a couple of weeks off) Final and 3rd Place Play-off will take place in week 3 Each week will begin on a Sunday and finish on a Saturday. Each team will have 8 selections per week, one from each player, duplicate selections are NOT allowed within each match. 10pts win or 5pts EW on British, Irish, French (as long as an industry SP is returned) or UAE racing, selected any day, Sunday through Saturday, the week ends on the last Saturday race. Settled at SP, EW terms as industry standard. Selections must be posted at least one hour before race time. On Saturdays there will be a 4pm cut-off for selections, that is you may pick in any race after that but it has to be posted by 4pm (1hr rule still applies). Once you have posted a selection you are not allowed to change it or the stake, unless it becomes a non-runner or is a duplicate. Non Runners - that team member may choose again for that week.
Team captains will be responsible for managing any wildcards required, there are no restrictions on their use, but please try and share them around so that no one individual is always claiming them. Please also name who the wildcard is for when posting.
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. The team scoring most points wins In the event of a tie, the best single near-miss selection from each team will be assessed as follows: Selections will be "bumped up" a place, so if a team had a win pick finish 2nd, it will become a winner and the extra points that would have been gained from that will come into play EW 2nds, will become winners and only the extra win points will count, EW selections just outside the places will count for the place points If this is still inconclusive I'll make a judgement call on best non-scoring performance from each team.
