A thread for the posting (and updates) of rules, and any discussion regarding the comp.

I don't care one way or another what the rules are.

Believe it or not, I was trying to help make things easier for you and for you to avoid problems.

Won't do that again.

So do we nominate just by putting our selections in, or do we nominate before then ?

Hmmmm....good question Magic.

12 noon Daylight Savings time I think, because it is reflective of when the races start..which means 11 am for Qld, 11.30 am for SA and 9 am for WA???

Just a little reminder guys -

Etiquette

1. Please refrain from comment on the selections thread
2. Please attempt to make one selection per line

e.g.

Syd R6 #9 Alcopop
Syd R7 #8 Silently

not

Sydney
Race 6 #9 Alcopop
Race 7 #8 Silently

(this makes my job easier)




PP, if persons can't follow, or amend to follow I'd just exclude their selections, they'll learn soon enough.
