Following on from last years controversial competition, anybody interested in doing it again this year? €10 entrance fee, ye can decide prize structure, eg 1st only or 1st and 2nd. I will accept payment by post, paypal or in person at Ireland V Czech Republic. anyone who does not pay before it begins will not be allowed enter as i was stung for money last year Angry Rules regarding Non runners will be cleared before this begins to avoid last years controversy. I am open to changes to the rules but for the moment the rules are as follows:

1/ Pick 3 horses a day from 3 different races in cheltenham. You will get points if your horse wins/places:

example-
horse wins at 4/1. you will get 4 points
horse places at 20/1 you will get 5 or 4  points (depending on whether paddypower are giving 1/4 odds e/w or 1/5 odds)

2/ your choices must be pmd to me before the first race of that day. i will put my choices on this thread each day so that im not cheating.

3/ i will be going by paddypowers odds. so if your horse is a higher price elsewhere tough

4. person with the most points by the end wins the money.

anyone can enter. just let me know either on this thread or in PM.

Ya, using the SP is the standard for tipping competitions and easier all around.

I'd say let people take a price or take an SP like none of us here would take SP in the bookies I presume?

Also after last year when i had a late non runner so i picked a 20/1 shot that won people went nuts saying it was against the rules but it was let stand, will that be the same this year??

Fair play for organising this again flickThumbs Up

Theres loads of different ways

The one Im involved in elsewhere is the following format

Winner  less than 5/1   5 Points
Winner 11/2 - 12/1       7 Points
Winner Over 13/1         10 Points

2nd     3 Points
3rd      1 Point
4th ( over 16 runners   1 Point)

Non Runners go on the Fav of the race. If Joint Favs are in the race. The one with the Lowest Racecard Number is Selected. 

This way if you do well tipping horses under 5/1 and get plenty of winners, its difficult for someone to come over the top with one winner at 50/1 and clean house with 1 winner.
