It is right that you can't change your selection on the last day unless its a non-runner.
This situation has cropped up a few times lately in other Divisions and I'm sure it hasn't been allowed.
Maybe it should be put in the last day rules as it just mentions non-runners at the moment and doesn't actually say you can't change your selection.

This cropped up because just before 7am today -
I posted a selection and IMMEDIATELY withdrew it and posted another .. Because i need a 3/1 to go up -- and my first one had dropped to 11/8 .. Nobody was disadvantaged .. But Posy objected.. No rule appeared to be in place to cover this ,so China has taken a stance. for the sake of good order --That has to be fine .. Even though i am disadvantaged and will probably now miss out on promotion., So it can't happen again , just add it in to the rules for last day. I have accepted China's decision. |

30 Jun 16 17:49 Afternoon troops, bit of a rush I`m afraid, got a lot on this evening. posy & kyhber, sorry, I have to take the original selection unless they are non-runners, I`ll check shortly Found this from 3 months ago scissors. |

china, selections may be changed on the last day as long as the other rules are still met, ie it's not a duplicate, is done more than 1 hour before the original was due to run, is posted more than 1 hour before the new selection runs and is put up before the first race starting time.
That's my understanding anyway. |

Don't personally see why they can't be changed as long as all other rules are met.

If you post a selection then change it a few hours later , mainly because you need a bigger priced selection , you are stopping someone else picking your original selection. Think thats why you need a different rule for the final day.
In this case scissors changed it a few mins after and had no intention of gaining an advantage but you still need a rule to stop it happening. |

The final day rules are clear, I see a post from me has surfaces from 3 months ago, I can`t remember the actual circumstances. I`d need to re-visit the thread before I commented.
I`ve always been against people re-posting on the final day because of the possible complications or arguments, ah he has gone for a 3/1 shot so I`ll change mine now, ahh she has gone for a 6/1 shot, better change again and so on. You could end up with 6 or 7 napsters swapping and changing and seeing who blinks first. Non-runners can be changed as per the rules, I`d say no, the original selection stands unless a n/r. |

Whether going for promotion or fighting relegation, judement is required to factor in the other napsters possible moves, all part of the final day fun.

Afters all.
Apologies for my posts Shane, I stand corrected  |

- All selections must be made prior to the 1st race of the day (1hr rule still applies)
- No duplicate selections allowed. No rest days allowed. - No reserves or unnamed horses allowed. - *Non-runners can be changed* as long as above rules are still met |
|
By:
I lot of competitors clearly aren't aware that you can't change your selection on the final day unless its a non-runner.

Hi kc, just always been my view, also china made a very good point @16.51
|

By:
Perhaps we should amend that rule to something like
- Only non-runners can be changed as long as above rules are still met |
|
By:
We can re-write
*Non-runners can be changed* as long as above rules are still met. |

Makes the 5.35 at Gowran Park a bit more interesting than it would have been. If Takeittothelimits wins think I will go missing for a bit

Unless it is written into the rules, I think it is totally wrong to introduce this interpretation. This should have been adressed and discussed when the problem first surfaced and if necessary the rules changed. B ut you cannot ad hoc suddenly invent a rule on the fly.
Personally I don't have a problem with people being able to change - if I see a nag's price coming in to something that won't achieve my ambition I would want to change it. I think the rules should stay as they are. |

The last bit's my view: if my fellow settlers don't agree then I'm happy to go with the majority. But I do feel a bit strongly about the first because the original decision affected all divisions yet I was blissfully unaware of it until today and, had it happened in my div, I would have let it pass.
I also make the point that we should try to keep rule changes to the absolute minimum and keep them as simple as possible. So what if a few people squabble over someone changing their mind. |

it's a United Nations job - the main builder's irish, as was the plasterer, the electrician Polish, the plumber his brother, a Turkish assistant, the kitchen equipment installers Greek, the worktop installers Italian, the tiler Romanian, the kitchen company owner Iranian and his assistant from Pakistan! Not an Englishman in sight!

I think Reged's opinion is right. Can't change today but rule needs to be clarified by 31 October imho.

Cruising round the comps & spotted this
Shanes 4.54 makes total sense & would avoid Keystone Cops for settlers & pickers If pickers want to blink last up to cut point, fair enough but they may miss the boat on selections Switching allows them to block other pickers which after all is not in the spirit of the Comps "I`ve always been against people re-posting on the final day because of the possible complications or arguments, ah he has gone for a 3/1 shot so I`ll change mine now, ahh she has gone for a 6/1 shot, better change again and so on. You could end up with 6 or 7 napsters swapping and changing and seeing who blinks first. Non-runners can be changed as per the rules, I`d say no, the original selection stands unless a n/r. " But then - when have i ever been the voice of reason |

If people really wished to go to such lengths, which I seriously doubt, it just adds to the fun and games IMO

Obviously with my 2 post just typing time apart
it did not apply to my posts -- no chance of any advantage in that short time scale. Anyway todays problem is over now and luckily ( except for maj upshot) a different horse won !! |
