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

i'm in

Afternoon ud, hope you`re keeping well.

Of course I welcome the return of the comp. I'm afraid there was some internal dissension in the Humbugs last time as well as a banned member having to post through me which may be more of a problem this time. I will see what I can do though but player power is a terrible thing.

TOFTL's toxic captain has been rightly banned(Grade 1 @rsehole)

I don't remember him. I thought it was glentoby.

With so many old folks homes closing in the last 3 months this isn't going to be easy Us
but I will do my best to dust them off
The younger element will be raring to go and appear to be flying high at present so should not be a problem

I'd like to be involved again.

I'm In

Cheers UD

I will be around for the R Demons if needed

im in but watch salmon and his bunch,they bend the rules to suit themselves.

I would be up for joining again, although not for TOFTL as I have a long memory. If the humbugs need an extra player I would be happy to bring down the average age of their team

Count me in Ud

All good

count me in

DG12, welcome back, we'll see where we can get you in.

We will hav ya Different Gravy - obviously salmon being skipper has final say but we need to fill a cupla places by looks of it

Tell him I promise to stop posting on the 'premier thread'!

TOFTL's toxic captain has been rightly banned(Grade 1 @rsehole).....I would suggest your a bigger arseh0le.

Would not even want you in our team pal.

And dont copy my selections either.

I have confirmed that I welcome Different Gravy to the Humbugs. I am a BIT kinder than glentoby. I always have tissues at the ready if Norfolk tells you you're f*****g hopeless   

ok salmon, I'll put DG in with you, as a replacement for posy I presume?

the dealer ud. Still hoping posy might get unbanned.

ok

Petemac and myself  will  be able to join the Thieves again.

theyll be drafting in uri geller next

posy has failed in another attempt to get himself reinstated,which is very annoying as he was never an abusive poster in my experience,despite us having political differences. The sort of gentleman who is a definite loss to the forum.
We have 5 confirmed. I'm still waiting on Norfolk and GLASGOW but I've had no indication they are not interested and they are both easy to chase up.
We have usually been able to recruit our own contacts so will endeavour to do that to replace posy.

Put me in again for Toftl, I'm not around enough to volunteer to be captain though thanks.

Happy to go again

GLASGOW has confirmed so we have 7 Humbugs. I have feelers out to a poster I know from HR who is in The Naps Comp but not this one. One way or another I think we'll have a full team well before the start.

Count me in ud. Thanks.

Add me to the Demons ud

Hi Ud
you can get your bold marker out again, a full squad available for EWTs

Best of luck for all Teams in finding a winning combination
Im sure just a matter of time before we get all teams upto strength

A small prize donation for a great comp from the Betfair Community Chest would ensure a speedier response

Well done stewpot

Plenty of time yet before needing to crash the sweeties

I’m in

Nice one ud

I'm in again

I’m sure whippin will stick the thread up for us soon

Yes happy to rejoin and looking forward to it!

Cheers all

Mr_Spreadsheet
werbie

I take it werbie was at one time in The Lucky Pins,so if Shane wants him I will defer to him. If not he can become a Humbug.

I'll give it another go with The Shrewdies (unless they don't want to renew my contract!)

Hey ud, i`ve sent a pm to custardcream64, waiting on a reply from happy too.

Cheers

Signing in for the Lucky Pins.

We have our final Humbug     
madhatters ( the one with the "s" )

Can anybody verify that salmon spray isn’t glentoby please

F*** off
Or I'll send my mates in the SAS to sort yer.   

I'm ok for the mob.

I  can  confirm salmon  spray is really the toff Rees  Moggy

Its rumoured Salmon looks like an ancient chipped toby jug but thats about as near as you'll get him to glen"toby"......

I am more like a British George Clooney imo.

ok salmon, welcome madhatters.

Cheers UD

Not something i would have considered based on a previous cpt
Happy to give it a go
The signing on fee from the fish helps

Let me make it clear. The signing on fee is paid to ME by those lucky enough to be chosen.
Norfolk's paid for my Spanish villa     

I think you'll find that's Spanish vanilla.

Hey ud,

I`m afraid differentdrum has pulled out of the comp for personal reasons.

shame, I guess there is room for Mr_Spreadsheet then.

Cheers UD - Signing in for TOFTL

Hi Mr_Spreadsheet, don't mean to mess you around but a Lucky Pin has dropped out so if you wanted to go there you can, otherwise it's TOFTL.

Evening, I was unaware of this game until now but would be interested if you guys have any places left?

Cheers

Hi ENGLANDBARNES1, you are most welcome. Please keep an eye out here over the coming week and I'll let you know which team you can join.
Just giving all the regulars a chance to turn up but you will get a place.

Hi UD - Lucky Pins was my original choice so yes if there is a space I'll take it. If not then I'll stay with TOFTL.

Hey ud,

Anyway we'll see what's available, cheers.

Evening ud, hope you`re well.

custardcream will be taking over the Captaincy of the Pins. I`m never available Saturdays.

Thanks

east end boy

47 confirmed, 5 regulars still to show, 2 in the waiting lounge.

Don't usually look in this forum so good job whippin messaged. Be delighted to have another go ud and thanks in advance for all the hard work. I'm away first week however, are they 2 week comps now?

Hi, HallGreenSpy, good to see you check in.
The Autumn comp was a new format, this is back to fortnightly rounds, but you still pick 1 per week, basically same rules.
I'm sure your team can cover for you first week.

Just heard a tip today from the host of under starters orders podcast for today.

He only puts up a couple of selections per show and seems worth listening to in my experience.

3.20 Exeter
Crossing the bar 8/1 bet365
I’ve had 1 point ew on, but it’s not one of my tips that will go towards P and L.

Oops sorry posted on the wrong thread!

ENGLANDBARNES1 & east end boy

Please confirm for Tips Out For The Lads.

Teams short on numbers will just have to use wildcards, we can still try and recruit as the competition progresses.

Yeah fine

I am in.

great, thank you both.

If I can post now for tomorrow ud, please may I have brewinupastorm £10 win in the 2.50 fontwell for the shrewdies. Thanks
