SEPTEMBER COMPETITION - 4 weeks from Mon 3rd to Sun 30th
Permalink   
 


Because of the ongoing problems with Betfair SP returns am going to try a different format this month.  It is one some of you may be familiar with but we will see how it goes.  Rules are below, please read carefully.

1. Players may make 10 selections during each week of the competition (No limit to numbers on any particular day);

2.. Selections will be settled on the "official" result not first past the post. Placed selections will be dealt with in accordance with the usual rules for numbers of places as per bookmaker rules;

3. All selections to be made at least 5 minutes before the scheduled race time for any particular selection;

Points will be awarded as follows:

A winning selection scores “points” according to their starting prices as follows: .

Odds On - scores 1 point

Evens to 9/2 - scores 3 points

 

5/1 or more - scores 4 points

 

10/1 or more - scores 5 points

 

20/1 or more - scores 6 points

Placed selections score "points" according to their starting prices as follows: .

Less than 2/1 - scores 0 points

2/1 to 9/1 - scores 1 point

 

Greater than 10/1 - scores 2 points

 

Greater than 20/1 - scores 3 points

 

GL everyone.

 

Ken

 Hi Annie, October should not be a problem.  As for this format it is just 10 selections a week and points awarded depending on the finishing position of the selection.

Ken, I suggest deducting 5 points for any mention of Festive Season in September.

In fact deduct 5 points in any month. This is a horse racing Forum not Santa’s Grotto 😡

 Sorry Peter, thought Festive Season was the name of the horse Annie has a share in with Twiston-Davies.
