DIVISION 3 THURSDAY AUGUST 1

So here we go, another month of trial, tribulation and great napping! But first, them rulez ...

The cast-iron rules!

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 I implore anyone thinking of having a go to JUST DO IT! We love to see newcomers and you'll really enjoy it - it's great fun. All you have to do to enter is put down your first nap for Thursday and ... that's it! I'll take care of the rest.

Easy peasy!

As usual today's write-up will appear on the FINAL TABLE thread at the end of today's racing. Be a bit late tonight (mumbles about bl**dy evening racing)!

Tha'ir - 2.15 Good

Thanks Reged.

To Quote a phrase "My God he's back"
I sense a genuine sincerity in your greeting, Reg Old Chum.
Sad to see my mate Shane in Freefallin' mode.
Though also nice to see my friendly rival Soldier change his mind about retiring.

Tom Pettymac.

Hopefully after a comeback win today the write up just may be "My Lord he's back"
Did you notice my change of plan regarding opting in for the last race fav boss?

yes pete, it's all in the database, along with 'salmon spray - automatically ignore if price is over 1.01'

Oil Strike - 5.30 Nott

Good to see you back in the fray pete.  Good luck for the month ahead.

Hi Salmon, I notice you once again easily held on to premiership status and as you are never going to win the crown with your existing method of survival I think Shane should reward you with some sort of EVERGREEN certificate.
You deserve it in my opinion after taking all the verbal abuse from the likes of me and others I choose not to mention.
Sir Salmon sounds quite good. I bow to your supremacy.

And well done to you Pauli.

Check last month's Premier Table. One or two who have criticised me in the past have finished below me with a higher or the same percentage.
soldier and I have converts     

And I Salmon, in my bid to reach the deserving heights obtained with great skill by your good self may tear the odd page out of the Book of Salmon (watch this space)

Reg, I think the Book of Salmon came after the Book of Deuteronomy but I reckon the Book of Salmon is more likely to get me to the Promised Land (that being the prem elite)

Hallelujah !
