DIVISION 3 WEDNESDAY May 1

unluckyStu • April 30, 2013 6:52 PM BST
Tomorrows selection
Estimate - 3.35 Ascot

Might as well start off with the rulios ...

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. Subject to Rule 8, failure to post will be deemed a Non Selection and 1 point will be deducted.

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

3 - Selections must be posted 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 at least 1hr prior to the original race OR if the 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 unless it is the last day of the month. On optional Sundays there will be no deductions for non-posters and Rule 8 will not apply.

7 - LAST DAY RULES for the last day of the month : all selections must be made BY THE SCHEDULED OFF TIME OF THE FIRST RACE of the day, you can't choose a horse already selected by another competitor in the same division, and only named horses are allowed.

8 - On any day that a competitor does not post (excluding Sundays and final days) they will automatically revert to the Last Race Favourite, the last race being the latest of ALL races that qualify for the competition that day. However, once the total of non-posting days for a month reaches 10, further days where no selection is made in that month will count as a Non Selection. In the case of more than one favourite in the race it will be settled on the favourite with lowest race-card number. Competitors will be able to opt out of this rule, in which case the standard Non Selection rule will apply.

In addition, for Division 3 only, the LRF rule will NOT apply until a competitor has made his first post of the month, or given adequate advance notice that he/she will be unable to post at the start of the month.

9 - Reserve selections will only be allowed to cover the possibility of a meeting being abandoned.

10 - In the event of a tie the person who has used least "instructions" (ie Last Race favourite) will be deemed to finish above the person they have tied with.

11 - 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).

12 - Quite often, things can crop up that aren`t strictly covered by the above rules (grey areas) in these instances please abide by the individual settler`s decision/ruling.

And then urge everyone to take part in this fun comp.

******************    EVERYONE WELCOME    ******************

We welcome all newcomers to take part. All you need is a pin (not too rusty, hopefully, but then you should see some of our regulars! ) and a bit of stamina to see it through the month.

Don't be shy, have a try!

All you have to do is put down your first nap on this thread. Simples!
