With under three weeks to go and an added dimension to this year’s competition, I am getting this underway now!

This year, we will be running a monetised competition for those who wish to take part. Free entries will still be allowed too for overall bragging rights, but for those who want, £5 entry via paypal or bank transfer and the overall pot will be split as follows
Each day winner takes 10% of the pot
Overall winner after the festival takes 60% of the pot

please PM me for details re PayPal/bank transfer. I must have your £5 by Monday 5pm day before festival to be in the monetised comp

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. A dead heat will be disregarded and full points awarded for whatever place it may be..............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 4.99/1 would get an extra 4 points
A winner between 5/1 and 5.99/1 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

Good luck!

Just bumping this as I have only one entrant into the £ comp so far... will need £5 via bank xfer or paypal (bank preferable) by Monday 10pm (will check my bank/paypal on Tues morning too if they go in overnight) in order for you to be in the money comp. Running the free one alongside for bragging rights of course too!

Please pm me for details of bank numbers etc

Getting close now :D

Thanks for picking up the reins on this again r99c. I love NH racing and Cheltenham is the pinnacle, the crème de la crème aim for this every year and it is one of my sporting highlights of the year. Looking forward to this year more than ever after the equine flu scare.

I have enjoyed taking part in this competition every year since I joined and even won it a couple of years ago!
However it is just a bit of fun for me and I won't be participating in the monetised version. Happy to carry on with the usual competition as always and good luck to those that do stick a fiver in the pot.

Once again, thanks to r99c for all the hard work and good luck to all next week.
