DIVISION 3 SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1

Okay, I'm a little bit sixes and sevens - pubs should be banned IMHO - but the rules will follow shortly and the final table for Jan on a separate thread. Amazed I actually managed to type that

Okay, so here are the 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.

Don't forget Reged's special rule 13s

If i don't like the cut of your jib - you are excluded
If i can't take a joke - you are excluded
Etc etc

Question for you posters ?

Would you feel happy being excluded for no justifiable reason  ?
It could happen to you ?
Vote now

Just ignore
Until a new settler or current one sees sense

Hi Reged

Firebird Flyer - 2.40 Ffos Las

Thanks and gl everyone.

Madhatters to reply to your comments below.
May I suggest you post (in Div 3) today and take up Reg's offer that he has posted in Prem thread. (please)
I think Reg has rightly or wrongly? used rule 12 to exclude you from the Month of Jan.
It is unfair of you to try and Involve Shane, I mean what could he do really?
Remove Reg as settler (it won't happen)
Overrule Reg and include you against the wishes of Reg (it can't happen)
You have already said that the offended text was in Jest so all I think is a little movement from both parties could easily resolve this matter so GET ON WITH IT NOW.
That has told you both

Could that be Reg's shoe and Madhatters hands?
I doubt it.
Right back to the racing post.

Monte Christo! Good to see U back! How's it been?

Hi Reged

I am well thanks. I've been very busy on the work front which meant I didn't get too much time on here.

I've a lot more time on my hands now so thought I'd give it a go on here again.

Hope you're keeping well yourself.

Not doin too bad MC cheers. Work eh? Who needs it! Best of luck anyway

Thanks Reged.

Ref Hatters/Reg

It may well be that Reg has blocked Hatters, and therefore cannot see his posts, hence he is unable to act on them. A couple of users on the poker section have got personal with me in the past, and rather than be offended by their continued attempts to get into my head, I have blocked them, thereby removing the source of irritation. That way I dont have to ignore them as I can't even see them - Simples

Reg has offered to open peace talks on the Premiership thread. I agree with petemac that madhatters should take up the offer. Probably needs sorting off the forum by PM presumably.

Thanks!

Gorsky Island - 4.20 Ffos Las.

Many thanks for all your sterling work. I'll get out of this Godforsaken division at some stage this year even if it kills me

Godforsaken? My dear chap, this is god's own territory!

Not since Skinto got promoted       

Ah but we southerners (that's as in south of Thetford BTW) know that one thing in life is immutable: god has not, does not and never will reside in Norfolk

The good Lord is everywhere Reg

Norfolking chance.

no shane, seriously, he avoids Norfolk like the plague. Trust me, I got divine information on this

The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men; From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth, He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.

yeah, but skinto doesn't work!

PM sent Reg.

I`ve attached the latest copy of watchtower to it.

And you have one in return (watchtower still attached)

To both REGED and MADHATTER's --
The Treaty --
As a neutral i posted a long post , taking up my
Time , and it got lost in the ether ..
To sum up
Reged's punitive stance cost Hatters promotion.
Hatters has hopefully learnt his lesson on behaviour.
Wars end in diplomacy--and usually by
"Some" compromise by both sides..
Both sides can gain by diplomacy =
All that is needed is for reged to quietly slip
Hatters back into Div 3 from today with his
Feb **** Position ..
As Reged you have very much made your point
And Hatters has been penalised and has to try
for his Div 3 promotion all over again ..
Hatters you are back in the leagues.
In the eyes of neutrals --you are Both thereby
restored to the level of League gentlemen
And the war / feud/ dispute is over.
Hatters you will obviously have to be more circumspect
In your future postings.
No need  for handshakes or ANY  further posts from
Either of you on the matter ..
It SHOULD now be ended and over..
Points made !!
just slip hatters in quietly and we continue
Hopefully back in League harmony..,
I have given you both an OUT to end this NOW
Today ... No more posts on it ..
It is OVER !!!
Please just slip him in Reged--Your ban " point" has
Been well made and gained more than you might
have expected in his loss of promotion..
Hatters you are back in the league..
A fair outcome... For both ..
Step back , behave, and let's get back to the tipping
Again..
IT IS OVER !!!!!
