Your Competitions
There is currently 1 person viewing this thread.
I propose to run the comp from 28 Feb to 19 June, a total of 8 fortnightly rounds =16 weeks.
Captains - are you willing to head up your teams again? If so please start team threads and bring your talent in from the cold.
If you participated last time and would like to again then please sign in here or on your team thread.
Last time we had almost full 7 teams of 8.
If you were not a part of the fun last time, you are welcome to join in, albeit the numbers need to fit team sizes so no guarantees.
I am open to an eighth team forming if there is enough interest but let's first ensure we can get the 7 teams fully equipped.
I don't think I'll be changing any of the format/rules, seemed to work ok?

Thanks ItsMeSwaddle, I can imagine we will need to feed some gaps, difficult to say just yet but if people don't mind going on a waiting list we'll do our best to accommodate.
Thank you to the Captains who have responded so far. I hope the others will check in this week. I will put a call out on HR as well. |

Slightly disappointing response tbh.
4 of us Captains are doing our best. Where are the other 3 ? |
|
By:
Many don't come on 'til the weekend and last week was a bit of a washout racing wise, so let's hope for a surge in the coming days.

By:
Hi Ud
Great news that you are running this again. I'm sure Moose will call the rest of the mob to arms by the weekend. |
|
By:
Hi Undecided, Tips out for the lads team member here, Striding Edge hasn't been sighted for ages, Glentoby hasn't posted for a good few days either, if the others don't show you can transfer me to another team if you like.
|
|
By:
Hi stewarts rise, glentoby has checked in on HR.
If your captain is not about then that's a shame but there is a bit of interest from newbies so we can probably flesh out a team. Would need to find a willing captain and by all means change the team name if so desired. |

If there's space I'll join in

Hi Inspector C.
You will be most welcome to join in if there are spaces towards the start date. I'll put your name down for the pool of talent as 5th in line, please check back nearer the start. In the meantime the rules & format I will post for all interested. |

The Rules
There will be 8 fortnightly rounds, 16 weeks in total. Each round and each week within rounds will begin on a Sunday and finish on a Saturday. Each team will have 8 selections per week, one from each player, duplicate selections are allowed but no duplicate selections within teams at any time. Players must use their 1 selection per week, it cannot be carried over to the other week in the round. 10pts win or 5pts EW on British, Irish & French racing, selected any day, Sunday through Saturday, the week ends on the last Saturday race. If selection is posted without specifying stake then 10pts win assumed. Settled at SP, EW terms as industry standard. Selections must be posted before scheduled race time. On Saturdays there will be a 3pm cut-off for selections, that is you may pick in any race after that but it has to be posted by 3pm. Once you have posted a selection you are not allowed to change it or the stake, unless it becomes a non-runner or is a duplicate. Non Runners - that team member may choose again for that week. If you are selecting in a race on Saturday, in the event of a non-runner, you will automatically have 10pts win on the fav in the same race as your selection. However, you may replace your non-runner with any new selection, provided you do so prior to the race time of the original selection and adhere to the Saturday 3pm cut-off. If your selection runs after the 3pm Saturday cut-off, and the race in question is abandoned, you will automatically have 10pts Win on the favourite in the next available race at whichever meeting, or in the event of no such races available, it will go on the immediately previous race run. If there are jt or co-favs then lowest racecard no. is chosen. Reserve selections are not allowed, nor is posting "just-in-case" selections for team mates that may or may not turn up. Wildcards are available to cover holiday or other absence and covering for non-runners. Team captains will be responsible for managing any wildcards required, there are no restrictions on their use, but please try and share them around so that no one individual is always claiming them. Please also name who the wildcard is for when posting. Teams will start the week from a baseline of 0pts. This equates to 8 losing selections and/or non-selections. Subsequent scores will be added to this baseline plus return of the winning part of the stake (10pts for win and EW winner, 5pts for EW placed). All scores count. Scores will be accumulated through the fortnight, there will be no points awarded for weekly finishing positions. Points structure for overall comp: Fortnightly winners will receive 12pts, runners-up - 8pts, 3rd - 6pts, 4th - 4pts, 5th - 3pts, 6th - 2pts, 7th - 1pt |
