Team Tipster Comp 2023

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

Great news ud. hoof hearted and I make two. Confident about most of the others though Norfolk has completely disappeared.

I think we might     

signing in

Thanks for running this again, undecided

Happy to take part again, and thanks for organising.

yes

4 Humbugs accounted for. I'm pretty sure smirnoff will play. I THINK DIFERENT GRAVY will. madhatters may have to be water-boarded. I have a replcement in mind for Norfolk if necessary.
Give us a s/d ud and I'll launch the Good Ship Humbug

TOFTL...

Happy to give it a go again.

Start date perfect, will have just got back from the Test Series.

But then ..
If tips out players have no morals to continue with him
A repugnant turd
Would other teams want them ?
Wishing cancer on a fellow poster don't get no lower

What is an essentially fun comp is lowered by his participation

mad. Certainly want you in. PM me about the other stuff please.

That's a good start     
I didn't even realise there was a falling out.

Quite agree Mr Salmon, it would be a shame for us to lose 2 or 3 players all for the sake of another teams problem.

im in salmon and DG/MAD we all know who/what he is and wot he does on an almost daily basis  but divnt  be letting him win by bailing out cos he is in comp - as we know it was me he wished those kind blessings on even though id been fighting the fooker for some 6 yrs but its water off a ducks back to me cos woteva shy te he spouts on ere has little to no impact on me in real life and his comments just press home wot a "character" he is on here and wot a "person" he must be in real life.

Im sure if i can put aside my feelings towards him you two lads can also do so for the sake of the humbugs and salmons sanity so as he doesnt hav to go out looking for new recruits

Better man than most S2TR
Well done to you
Back you all the way

My point was a clearly banned poster flouting any protocol checks BF have in place - none !
I'm not trying to put this solely on Undecided's head as its his run comp
We all as a collective (all teams/ all players) have to stand up to bullies and evil despicable ones in this case
Appeasement serves no purpose

As long as we all put up with this piece of shoite then he will remain spouting his garbage

Stick it to a vote
Act like men/women with a conscience

I'm in Sont. I'll put the call out for the rest of the lads sometime this week.

I don't see any sign of the gentleman concerned wanting to come back to the Team Comp so I don't think there is a problem at the moment.

Well let's see IF it happens. If you and mads play I have a standby for Norfolk so we would have a full team.
