How it works - each Saturday for 8 weeks you will be required to select two horses, from a list of prescribed meetings, who you believe will get beaten. This is a risk-reward game - the more favoured the runner, the more points you will earn, however if your selection wins you will lose points and lose a life. Up to you which races you select - you can even pick two horses in the same race if you wish. They just have to be races at the prescribed meetings (this will generally be all NZ races and 2-3 Australian meetings). For week 1 the prescribed meetings are: Ruakaka Hastings Rosehill Flemington Sunshine Coast Scoring - if your runner does not win you will earn points equal to 100 divided by the Tote win dividend, eg. if the tote dividend was $3.50 you will earn 100/3.5 = 28.57 points. If your horse wins you will lose 50 points and lose one life. You will have a total of three lives across the 8 weeks. If you reach three winners you are eliminated from the comp. Posting deadline will always be the scheduled start time of the first race on the day. Posting format - please post Meeting/Race/Name. Ok to post numbers, but names will help me and will also make it interesting for people to peruse the selections of others. Example of helpful posting format: Rosehill - Race 6: Horse name Sunshine Coast - Race 7: Horse name (see next post for some more rules) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
say no more 2,750 Report post Posted June 28, 2022 The comp winner will be the person with the most points accumulated across the 8 weeks (from those who survive for the entire 8 week period), or the last person eliminated if nobody makes it through the entire 8 weeks. Where entrants in contention are eliminated in the same week, they will be split by the points that they have after elimination (ie. including points lost from your 3rd winner). Jokers (optional) - over the 8 weeks you will have two Jokers at your disposal - you don't have to use them if you choose not to - again risk & reward. In any week you can nominate one of your two selections as a Joker play. You can't play both Jokers in the same week. Your Joker selection will earn double points, but will also lose double points if your Joker selection wins (-100 points). Note, you will only lose one life (not two) if a Joker selection wins. Prize - UPDATE thanks to the kindness of an anonymous donor the comp will now be as follows...Scooby and this donors are very kindly putting up $200 worth of bets - $125 to the winner and $50 to the runner-up and a $25.00 bets for John and Pondy the scorers as the donor like me appreciates and sees the hard work done by John, and Pondy. One bet (win and/or place) with the winner or runner-up keeping half of any collect and the other half of any collect recycled for future comps.John and Pondy get to keep all their winnings. Scratchings/Abandonments - if any of your horses is scratched or in an abandoned race, you will earn zero points. You can replace scratchings and abandonments (if timing allows) up until the posting deadline (in a new post please), but not after the deadline. Dead-heats - if one of your picks dead-heats for first, it will count as a winner and you will lose 50 points and one life. Late entrants - we will accept new entrants in week 2, but again because the objective is to survive 8 weeks, they will start with -50 points and one life down. Week 3, -100 points and 2 lives down. No new entrants from week 4. High Sparrow and Black Kirrama 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
say no more 2,750 Report post Posted June 29, 2022 Rules state that the posting deadline is start time of the first race of the day, but because this is round 1 and we're keen to have as many as possible enter, the posting deadline for Saturday will be a little bit later. Posting deadline: 12.14pm (start time of the first at Ruakaka) Obviously if you're picking something in the first two races at Hastings you'll have to post your picks before those races start.
