Ohokaman 5,763 Report post Posted August 18, 2021 I have suggested to Scooby that we run a teams competition over the Spring Carnivals in Australia and NZ. There is some fantastic racing coming up over the September to November period and you can see the main Oz races here : https://www.justhorseracing.com.au/races/spring-carnival Details yet to be fleshed out, but the idea would be to have teams of 4 or 5 players, depending on entry numbers, with teams and individual players competing against each other, with the team ( and individual ) who achieves the highest aggregate dollar return from their selections, being declared the winner(s) Ideally 10-20 teams would be fantastic, and this post is just to guage interest in entering such a competition. Needless to say a phenomenal scorer will be required ( come in Pondy…. ) to keep us all sane. Prizes for winning team and highest aggregate individual to be confirmed.

Happy to be the scorer with what's been mentioned so far. Would like to know what rules are planned before they're finalised so I can have input as to how easy or complicated the scoring might be. NB: Just so you are aware, there are occasionally some Saturdays that I have to go out of town (ad hoc basis) so wouldnt be able to provide updates during the day, so results would be posted late Saturday night or Sunday morning.

Ohokaman 5,763 Report post Posted August 19, 2021 We need 50-60 players ideally for 10-12 teams to make it interesting over an extended period. This shouldn’t be a problem as we’ve had well over that in recent competitions. scooby3051 and TurnyTom 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
