Spring Superstars (multi-format) comp - starting 14 September

[say no more]

Starting Saturday 14 September - no rest for the Pairs finalists

This will be an individual comp that will run over 8 weeks, finishing on Derby day.  No need to register - just post your picks on the weekly entry threads as they appear.   

Over the first 7 weeks we will run a comp using 7 different formats (eg. the format we used in the Pairs comp, a daily LGL format, a three pick format, a points based format, .......).

You will earn points each week based on the number of entrants that you finish ahead of that week. eg. if you finish first in a field of 40 you will earn 39 points.  If you finish tied with one other for 20th in a field of 40 you will earn 19 points, if you finish last you will earn no points that week ....

At the end of the 7 rounds, the 12 entrants with the most points accumulated over the 7 rounds will progress to the Grand Final on Derby day.  The entrant who finished first (the minor premier) will get to choose the format for the Grand Final.  It will be one of the 7 formats used in the qualifying rounds.

Any ties in points accumulated at the end of 7 rounds will be split by dropping your worst score, and if that doesn't split it, then drop your second to worse score, etc......

You can miss a week or more and still have a chance to qualify for the final.

Scooby has kindly offered to put up $250 worth of bets (usual rules) as a prize for this comp.Idolmite has now chipped in another $250 so the prizes will now be as follows.  

• $100 to the minor premier
• $240 to the Grand final winner
• $100 to the Grand final runner-up
• $60 to the Grand final 3rd place-getter

Just want to let everyone know that thanks to the generosity of Idolmite the comp will now have its prize money doubled as he is kindly donating $250 to allow this to happen. I want to thank him for this and wish him well in all he does in the coming months he is a fighter.

We've tried to pick winners for the past 8 or so weeks (some more successfully than others) so this week we'll be looking to pick losers - a one day LGL format, using pre-specified races.  Entry thread should be up on Wednesday evening.
