    If a team member fails to post selections, the captain’s selections are used again on behalf of that player.
    If the captain fails to post selections on the day, the captain’s and all absent players score will be calculated as a losing selection on each race including one nap.

    So if anyone can’t make selections please state as soon as possible as it would be nice to let someone else take part rather than duplicate the captain.

    I didn’t do very well last year Nathan, so I’m looking at all the races just now. I only have two picked out so far.

    It is good to have a try at this again. I do enjoy the competitions on here, but there more pressure here with it being a team game.

    Thanks Nathan,
    Presumably selections are scored at SP only – no taking prices.

    I see there’s no each way and no selecting 8 runners in the 9 horse race. ;-)

    Of course, you might want to include reserves in case of non runners or late withdrawals

    Ok thanks Nathan. I am maybe being overly cautious. I will make sure to check for late withdrawals, so that I can put in a new reserve if that is permitted.
