Group stage match format:

Within each match, players will be required to pick one horse, win only, any price. You may not pick the same selection as your opponent.
Players can pick any time Monday to Saturday (the duration of the match).  Sundays will be for catching up on results and making draws.
There will be a cut-off for all selections on Saturday - the time of the first UK/Irish race. You will have the choice therefore, you can pick at leisure during the week, running the risk of showing your hand to your opponent, or of waiting to play on Saturday to prevent that. During the week, you may select right up to the scheduled race time (one minute before), so you may have the advantage of seeing the market moves. Obviously if you pick a loser early week then you give your opponent a long window to find that odds-on cert, but you may be able to exert extra pressure with a winner.

Once you post a selection, you can't change it, unless it's a duplicate or non-runner.
You are not allowed to leave reserves.

Scoring (Industry SP used for prices):

A match winner will get 2pts, but there will be the possibility of winning a bonus point for making a winning selection on or above the price of Evens, irrespective of winning or losing the match. If a match is drawn, both with the same priced winner, or both losers, then it's 1pt each.
There will also be a chance for one additional bonus point, awarded at the end of the group stage, to the player with the biggest priced winner. If there is a tie for biggest priced winner, the bonus point will not apply.

Possible match scenarios:
Player A picks a winner under evens and Player B picks a loser - Player A gets 2pts, Player B gets 0pts.
Player A picks a winner evens or over and Player B picks a winner under evens - Player A gets 3pts, Player B gets 0pts.
Player A picks a winner evens or over and Player B picks a winner evens or over but a lesser price than Player A - Player A gets 3pts, Player B gets 1pt.
Player A picks a winner evens or over and Player B picks a winner of identical price - Player A gets 2pts, Player B gets 2pts.
Player A picks a loser and Player B picks a loser, or both pick identical winners below Evens - Player A gets 1pt, Player B gets 1pt.

Non-runners:

If a player does not select or picks a duplicate or picks a non-runner (non-runners/duplicates evident before the Saturday cut-off can be replaced) then they will be assigned a selection - Last race fav. (If jt. favs then lowest number on the card). If both players in a match end up with non-runners then it will be 1pt each.
If a player just doesn't turn up for at least one of the three group matches then they are out irrespective of pts gained through assigned LRFs.

Tied on points:

Tie-breakers at the end of group stages as follows:

1. Any player that missed a selection (including picking a duplicate) will be penalised
2. Head to head record between tied players
3. Overall Profit/Loss figure
4. Higher aggregate prices for all three selections

Holiday cover

If you know that you will be away and cannot post for any match, I will accept a post on your behalf as follows:

You must notify in advance of the match that you will not be posting.
You can either email me your selection or
email to someone else to post on your behalf or
nominate someone to select for you.

I will not accept posts on your behalf unless approved by me in advance of the match in question.

Prepare for plenty of scrolling as the group lists are long! During the week I will only post group updates where there has been some action that day. For Saturday, when I expect most will play, I will try and keep an up-to-date list of selections so that players can check opponent's picks as there are to be no duplicates.

If you need someone to post on your behalf any week, you must let me know before the match starts.
As this is the first week, I will allow some leeway on that, this week only, let me know before Saturday.

Grey Blue 5.10 about a 4/1 shot   12 runners   any N/R i will pick again  why rule 4 in this comp can make a big  difference.. good luck  guys,   and to Undecided  all the very best 
the winner whoever it is  will be a legend
By:

When: 16 Sep 13 13:29
Hi zipper, once you've posted that's it, no changing, mainly because there are no duplicates allowed and you may have prevented your opponent from picking your original selection.
Of-course you may reselect if yours is a non-runner, or if you had inadvertently copied your opponent.
By:
zipper
When: 16 Sep 13 13:51
Fair point  never thought of that   so it stands
reason  i pointed it out    anyone  could put up say a 9/2 shot and the first  2 favs are N/R . you are now left with an 8/11 on shot  . and we all know odds on shots are not going to win this comp or any comp .
By:
undecided
When: 16 Sep 13 13:58
zipper, you may not fully appreciate how this works. If yours loses today, your opponent has the rest of this week in which to find a winner, any price! If they got an odds-on winner they would get 2pts to your 0pts. If they got an Evens + winner they would have an extra bonus point.
If you do win today though at the current 7/2 then you are in a strong position.

And anyone could put up a 5/2 2nd fav that gets backed in to odds on. Its all going to happen and there will be suffering Wink

Remember, during the week you may post right up to the scheduled off time (one minute before).
On Saturdays all selections must be in before the first scheduled UK/Irish race.

First runner coming up - Kentish Man's Black Treacle in the 2.40, currently right on that Evens bonus point threshold!
