Queensland Carnival Comp - 6 weeks

[say no more]

Welcome back!

We've had a nice little spell so time to get back into it with a competition over the Queensland racing carnival.  6 weeks, starting next Saturday (10 May) and running through to Stradbroke day (14 June).

We will use all of the Group and Listed races from Queensland and supplement with the odd NZ race and some other Aussie metro races.

It will be an individual comp, run over several formats with several comps within the comp.  You only need to submit one set of picks but they will have you in three different sub-comps.

Sub-Comp 1:  Total dollars earned across the six weeks. 

Sub-Comp 2:  Total points earned across the 6 weeks - points earned based on number of entrants you finish ahead of each week (similar to recent comps).

Sub-Comp 3:  The top 32 entrants in Week 1 will proceed to a H2H bracket to take part in a knockout comp running from Week 2 to Week 6.

No need to register your interest - just look out for an entry thread on Wednesday and submit your picks before the deadline next Saturday!

The formats used will be as follows - you should be familiar with these by now:

Week 1:   Standard Pairs comp format
Week 2:   Knockout format
Week 3:   Trifecta format
Week 4:   LGL (lay) format - in this format you earn points, not dollars but for Sub-Comp 1 points will be converted to dollars (including any negative tallies)
Week 5:   Standard Pairs comp format
Week 6:   Knockout format

I am posting simply to bring the thread back to the top, as I’d quickly read it the first time around and took very little onboard.
