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

Note that I'm putting up a prize for the best strike rates - in lieu of the Saturday Tipping Comp that I'll suspend after February.

2. Tips to be made in only scheduled races i.e. black type races and on scheduled meetings.

4. Selections to be made prior to 12 noon on a Scheduled Race Day unless prior arrangement is made with the adjudicators and permission is granted.

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)

3. If you change your selections, be precise and clear on what selections you are making.

4. If there is a dispute, please accept the umpire's decision.

Should've had a requirement that entrants must have posted in last 3 months. Any free $$$ certainly brings them out. wink

Surely you can look them up.



Certainly, but i think convenience will get people posting the selections the way they want and race numbers in a convenient location at the top of the thread (opening post) rather than having to go to a tote website or risa ect may help that.
If people don't care about Race number and horse number and are happy with just the Race name and horse name then i guess it wouldn't matter.

The whole idea is to promote the forum, and hopefully get some more members actively contributing to discussion thumbsup

If you think its about $$$ ratsack name who put up $500 of his own moolah for a free entry comp on the footy last year on this forum. wink

anyway

1) you've posted at least several times in the last 3 months so wasn't about you was it and
2) the point of it is I find it funny someone who was "done" with this forum just happened to manage a post after 6 months absence and enter the comp.   wink

It certainly drags them out into the light.   biggrin

Just saw this PP.

Are you my wife?

Glad to see you back Geoff....I felt bad about things, and was just about to ring Nick Politis and tell him to let Souths win against Easts in round 1, but won't have to do that now  Thumb Up

Sorry about that Tessa.

Because we have a corporate sponsor and a significant prize, I have to stick to the rules..hope you understand that.

You missed week 1, but that doesn't mean you are out. You can start in week 2.

Your roughies look a good chance (if anything will knock over Denman it will be Hanks IMO)...make sure you have a couple of dollars on them.
