Cheltenham 2016 (Long running competition)

[Chicken Run Supreme]

Thanks again Fishbone, fantastic job with results updates.

Another marvellous festival comes to an end and I've already got withdrawal symptoms.

Wow, only 8 points off winning it, I'm very happy with that after a stinker on Tuesday!

Well done Chicken Run Supreme and thank you again Fishbone!

Congrats Chicken Run and many thanks, yet again, to Fishbone for all his efforts and hard work.

Not the greatest Cheltenham, but thoroughly enjoyable none the less.

Not sure if Fishbone is still around by the looks of it. He was the scorer...

Let's go

I will fill in for Fishbone unless he makes a grand return. Will only be end of day updates.

Rules as follows, copied from hammerdivone last year:

Rules for any newcomers....

Give selections for each race on each one of the 4 days....eg. Post your Tues picks on Tues morning, Weds picks on Weds morning etc.............or anytime before that days racing, as some people need to post their picks the night before.

Points scoring.......10 for winner, 5 for a second and 3 for a third..............Also to have an added dimension there will be extra points for every winner at 4-1 or better, this is to reward better priced winners. So the extra points would be scored as follows

A winner between 4-1 and 4.99 would get an extra 4 points
A winner between 5-1 and 5.99 would get an extra 5 points etc............

This would continue up the scale, so for example a 33-1 winner would get an extra 33 points.The SP will be how this is calculated.

Non Runners will automatically go onto the favourite..........if more than one favourite it will be the horse nearest the top of the racecard.

Please give a nap, for inexperienced players this means the one of your selections which you think is mostly likely to win, just put (nap) after the horses name, if it wins it will double your score from 10 to 20 but the SP points will NOT be doubled.

Entries will only be included if posted before "the off" of the first race on that particular day
