The comp is finally getting under way on Sun 28th Sept. It will run for 24 weeks though 4 of those will be a break over Xmas/New Year. So it will finish in March
As far as I can remember the rules are much the same as before. I can't c&p on the browser which will currently let me on the forum but they are on ud's thread.
Basically it is still one selection each per week. BUT you have to post the selection one hour before the race ( same as the Naps Comps.) You can pick any day of the week which runs from Sunday to Saturday. BUT on Sats selections have to be in by 3.00PM even if you are picking at the floodlit a/w evening meetings. I think if somebody hasn't posted by 2.45 we will have to use a wildcard. There is also something about leaving reserves in case of n/rs if you are picking on Sat but I THINK it is ambiguous. I'll check and if it is I'll query it with ud.
In the meantime can anybody who knows they can't post in either of the next two weeks please let us know.
Come on Humbugs

Sorry about mine 
There's no sign of WP. If he hasn't appeared by 2.45 we play a wildcard which I imagine means at Wolves. I'm going to use twm's reserve unless somebody fancies something else. In which case put it on here and I'll transfer it to the main thread if necessary.

I've put twm's reserve up as the wildcard Yorkster's Prince - 9.15 e/w .

A nice round score puts us joint last. One other team was as crap as us.
Whippin Piccadilly could you sign in by Thursday please and let us know you're aliv. Otherwise I'm going to have to allocate a wildcard much earlier. I'm not pratting about just before the big Sat race again.

I have gone for What's Happening in the 3.35 at Sandown to win.
As a reserve I have Portamento in the 6.45 at Wolves. You never know if we might need 11pts.

Hello twm.

Sandown ON btw.

Portamento doesnt look like it will help us move anywhere even if he wins by 20 lengths!
I will post a bit later once I have assessed if we need a 20-1, 10-1, 5-1 or 1-5 shot!
Humour 2045 EW will be my choice.
Largely cos its the bigger price of the ones I like.

G/l evderybody still to go. I am struggling with BT this afternoon.
Yes very sad.
Thanks to hoof hearted we are not going to finish last.
twm COULD get us a place higher I think. His has still to run.
de44ek4's was a n/r. Not sure when it was taken out but it was after 3.00 so nothing could be done by the time I realised.

I must start picking before Saturday.
Has to be an improvement.

I think Lampus had been round the Angel Delights last night. Will Rogers died in 1935. Even Lampus isn't THAT ancient.
I have taken my own advice and gone early in the week with Carningli to win at Warwick 2.00.
I do rather fancy this but it's probably because I actually saw it win on my trip to Cheltenham a year or so ago.

There appears to be a problem with the dealer's selection. I noticed undecided hadn't found it and neither can I. I have asked if we can have it ( it's within the hour of course ). Have put up a backstop wildcard if ud is grumpy.
I have every faith in twm to rescue our week from disaster
I am a follower not a leader. So I just follow the trend set by everyone else!
Very good twm.
Pity I'm not a non-playing captain. I could give you lot a hair-dryer moment

Good morning Humbugs and Lampus.
We have a lot to do. One that probably won't do anything is Howard's Legacy - 2.05 Haydock. I've done a 5-1 shot to win only. You can tell we're in trouble.

Thanks shearer.
I think we are just waiting for Whippin Piccadilly.

I've just noticed there is no evening racing this week. The last race is the 3.40 at Lingfield. If WP hasn't turned up by 2.30 I will stick a pin in it unless somebody can put up a more informed choice on this thread. I'll transfer it if necessary.
Are we as a team allowed to pick 2 in the same race? If this it OK then.
Ascot 3.00 Hey Big Spender E/W
Ascot 3.00 Hey Big Spender E/W
I've posted it on the tips thread so I hope the team is OK with this because I have serious stamina doubts about our other selection in the race. 
For backing will be glad to see the end of 2014
Happy boxing day everyone and salmon

Not been a good 4 weeks for The Humbugs. We can come good in the New Year though
Merry Christmas Humbugs.
The comp doesn't start again till 18th Jan so I'll start a new thread in the New Year.
Let's hope we can refind our form.
