    You may chose 1 nap per day (please make clear)
    NAP selections score double for WIN ONLY
    You can pick a next best (NB) as a reserve for your Nap in case of being a non runner
    If Nap is a N/R and your NB is a non runner the reserve of your Nap will become the Nap. (no reserve no nap)
    Entries have to be in before first race of each day, if for whatever reason you are late post your entries still for later races which will be accepted but you will get hit with 20% point deduction for that day
    Strictly no Edits after the off time of 1st race, all points on that day will be deducted

    WINNER

    will be the person with the highest score of both days combined. In the event of a tie the winner will be the person between the tied competitors with the highest score on day 2. If still tied most winners

    In the case of disputes my decision will be final

    Here’s a good link to the pre-entries and some information on all the races and cards Nathan.

    I think the races are earlier this year, remember sitting up until around midnight for the BC Classic last year.
