Cheltenham Competition

[milgi]

Here are the rules of the Cheltenham Competition which we trialled last year. There's no entry fee (it's all a bit of fun) but those who wish to have a side bet can do so for £10 per entry. Highest placed (paying) entry will win the entire pot. Let me know if interested.

Points:

Win: 15 pts (25)
2nd: 7 pts (12)
3rd: 3 pts ( 5)
4th: 1 pt ( 2)

Points for non-h'cap races shown first with h'cap races in brackets.


Extra pts (based on reported SP of winning horses - if selected correctly of course!!):

Anything odds-on - Evs: 0 pts
Evs - 2/1: 1 pt
2/1 - 4/1: 3 pts
4/1 - 8/1: 5 pts
8/1 - 14/1: 10 pts
14/1 - 20/1: 15 pts
20/1+: 30 pts

1 selection per race (please note that the Charity sweepstake race does not count!!).
A daily Nap must be selected (and clearly stated).

Naps: Daily Naps receive double points. So can win double points for 1-4 place finish as well as double the points for SP if selection wins.

Days 1-3 - Daily selections have to be received by myself by start of the first race each day (text message/e-mail/forum/private message etc.).
Day 4 - Entries by text only by the start of the day's first race (I won't be close to a computer!).
