Here are the rules for newbies and those who want to check:

THE RULES
Apart from the adjustment to the scratching rule, the rules remain unchanged from the last comp which seemed to work well and met with little complaint.

1. Players. Each team will consist of 5 players. If you can't play on a given week you may nominate a sub from outside the comp or have a team mate post for you although in the latter instance their selections on behalf of the missing player must vary from their own to some degree.

2. Draw. The draw will match each team against another team every week until all teams have played each other in the Round Robin part of the comp. At the conclusion of the Round Robin section the top teams will enter into a Finals Series which will be a straight knockout with the following format:

Finals Rnd 1

Game A - 1st v 8th 

Game B - 2nd v 7th 

Game C - 3rd v 6th 

Game D - 4th v 5th

 

Finals Rnd 2

Game E - Wnrs Game A v Wnrs Game D

Game F - Wnrs Game B v Wnrs Game C

 

Grand Final

Wnrs Game E vs Wnrs Game F

If the losers in Finals Round 1 want to play out the last two weeks in a 3rd-8th playoff series then we can do that.

 

The 9th and 10th placed teams can play a best of three series over the final 3 weeks for Wooden Spoon honours


3. Selections. Competitors are required to select two runners per race. No subs are to be posted. All selections should be posted at the same time although I may make allowances if this is not possible due to late arrival for posting. Posting the same numbers for each race is not permitted. I don't think your team mates would want you to do that anyway. You must post at least 6 different (initial) selections to your opponent if you post after them. 


4. Scratching Rule. You may post replacements for any scratching by editing your original post up until 11.00am on raceday. After that time any selection which is scratched will be replaced by the TAB sub followed by the 2nd favourite by TAB win odds in that order.If more than one horse meets the latter criteria then the replacement will be the horse with the higher number. New ruling: If you post a number which was NOT in the original field your selection is forfeited unless replaced by yourself or a team mate. 

5. Investments. Each selection will be regarded as an imaginary $10 win bet while if both selections start, a $2 quinella combining the two selections will also be credited to the competitor. So that's a $22 investment per race per competitor if two tips are submitted.The races will usually be split 50/50 between NZ and Australia. 

6. Best Bet. Each selector may choose one race in each country as a "best bet" selection. All $$$ earned from these races will be doubled. In the event of scratchings the same best bet (BB) will apply. There will be no transference to a subsequent race. If your best bet race is abandoned - bad luck !@

7. H-T-H. The draw will pit individual players from the two teams drawn to play each other, against each other in head-to-head competition. The player with the most $$$ at the conclusion of the round is the winner for his team. The team with 3 or more winners wins the match.

8. Countback. If a head-to-head contest is a tie on $$$ earned then a countback will determine the winner by award victory to the player who uniquely selected the highest placed horse in the final event. In other words if you both selected the same horse that cancels itself out. It would be the two selections which are different which will determine the tie-breaker. If the selections are the same for the final event then the same parameter will apply to the penultimate race and so on.

9. Points. Teams will be awarded points as follows:
3-2 win - 2 points
4-1 win - 3 points
5-0 win - 4 points


Bonus points
Team profit bonus - 1 point
Losing team with higher aggregate than their conquerors - 1 point


So a well performed side which still loses may earn as many points (2) as a side which wins narrowly .

10. Joker. Twice during the Round Robin series the team captain of each team may elect to play their "Joker". They must advise this in the post in which they make their selections. They may or may not confer with their team regarding this deployment. The Joker will double the final points tally for that team for that week. So it's possible to score 10 points (this has been done more than once) from a single round while it is also possible to play your Joker score 0 points and waste it completely.


11. Posting. Please post your selections by number (names are optional and unnecessary). If you post replacements for scratched horses then do so in anew post rather than edit your original.

13. Closing Time. There is no closing time but selections are only valid if posted at least one minute before the starting time of the first or any race. My decision is final in this and all other matters.

This looks like an interesting match up

How many Jokers PJ

The Pretend Gers are pretty confident about putting Mr Gees team to the sword

Will put a rules thread up tomorrow but you can count on the same format as the Summer Comp - two Jokers - played at the Captain's pleasure

EARLY MAIL

The Stipes have been notified by the connections of Habibi that stablehand [Isaac] and strapper [Brian] will lead out running 6 second furlongs....groom [Graeme] to settle in the 1-1 with owners and breeder [Pam and Heather] enjoying the truly run  race. Graeme will move out upon entering the straight to avoid the tiring .Isaac and Brian allowing Pam and Heather to charge home along the rails with a magnificent turn of foot.....Another "Everest" perhaps.
