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.
3. A theoretical $10 win placed on the NSW TAB on each selection
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.

Geoff - I might be wrong, but it is my understanding that Fastnet Rock left the forum voluntarily.

In that case, no rules have been broken, and would still be eligible for prizes as the minimum number of tips have been made.

As for how we would communicate with FR? Let's cross that bridge if and when we get to it.

Deleted his account, think he wanted to get in first before he got banned  chin

As for the comp, he isn't even in the running is he ?

As far as I am concerned, if you are no longer a part of the forum, then you are not entitled to any of the comps either, but that is just my opinion

He's in contention for the Place Strike Rate prize which I'm putting up.

Let's just see what happens. Worse case scenario, we'll have an "official" winner and an "unofficial" winner - I'll kick some more in. Not worth worrying about at this stage imo.

I have made a decision Geoff. I've decided to make a decision if the situation arises when and if one is needed.

You just make sure you keep tipping winners and we won't have to worry about it, will we  biggrin
