    The Winner will be the competitor who amasses the most points from the two days
    in the event of a tie the highest price individual day score
    if still tied highest nap
    if still tied joint winners

    Rules

    You select 1 horse in each race over the course of the meeting
    In one race per day you can select 2 horses
    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
    10% point deduction for that day Strictly no Edits after the off time of 1st race, all
    points on that day will be deducted You may included as many reserves as you like but
    cannot add any after the time of the first race
