GRAND NATIONAL COMP SPECIAL
Permalink   
 


 I've been thinking about an old format for a big field race comp that Ive done before- its quite good fun

pick 5 horses

scoring as finishing position

so if there are 40 runners the 1st place will score 40...    2nd..39     3rd..38     etc    down to the last which would score 1

I say which would , as all runners wont finish...any that dont will score 1

all 5 will get a score 

good luck
