Toblerone 242 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 There are definitely a few things I would like to address. One being the risk and reward for Group 1 and 2 races. You want three times the points? you face three times the penalties. Archer and Kloppite 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toblerone 242 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Kloppite appears to have edited his post to make it look like I brought this up for no good reason. Cheeky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I just realised it would look like that - apologies! Just re-edited my post. The feedback was polite and intended to be constructive. Cheers Interesting observation that you're not the one creating the fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunch of entrants who don't thank anyone. but for the record, if I manage to fluke my way to a win in this comp, I won't be accepting the prize. Just enjoying the comp for competition sake.

Houlahan's Dream 519 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Back to the main action of the comp for a moment...It is fascinating how we all line up form. I toyed with Everest for a bit but I could not get past SALane being nearly a certainty. Yet 4 people have laid it! Unlike the other 'pick a winner' comp, the whole 'pick a good horse to lose' aspect really bends your punting head, IMHO. Thanks for comp P4P. If I win (VERY unlikely) there will be pas de cadeux.

If any of them are late scratched, you go on Kali at Ashburton. ALSO, from the first week at which there are 10 or less competitors remaining, I will let you submit your selections to me by private message for posting after cut off if you wish. Why would you want to do that??? I think rules should be rules...from start to finish.JMO Archer 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toblerone 242 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 Well it would stop, say, the leader posting last and ensuring he can't be beaten. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby3051 10,695 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 If people need to cheat to win then its a bit poor...but I think if you change the rules mid stream is also not really fair...Its never been done in this comp before.

Good call Toblerone - good to remove the last player advantage. Having said that, using last player advantage is not cheating - it's just a case of playing smart (within the rules) There is no last player advantage right now because there are still so many people in contention, but when you're down to a few it can make a big difference.

Houlahan's Dream 519 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 I suppose from the POV of the website owners/admins the smaller the comp gets with eliminations, then fewer people are tuning in to that particular thread. With the one day comps you are sort of gripped until the end of the day, waiting to see if your picks turn into points. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
