NAPS

Each week select one Nap
A Nap will score double points but only win only if your Nap finishes 2nd in say a 12 runner field you will score the standard points

If no Nap selection is posted it will become the 1st horse selected

Likewise a Non Runner Nap will move down your selections unless you have selected a NB

Format

Will depend on numbers

Will start with 2 standard weeks and then groups will be made up from there, league position will provide rankings which will be used to pick the groups, also if knockout games are tied after two legs highest ranking will progress
How many qualify from groups etc again will depend on numbers.
Knockout phase after groups will compete in two legs
