Timeform ‘Chasers and Hurdlers’ competition

[Gerald]

You might be right Pompete.

What is a placed horse?

Is it just restricted to paying out for betting purposes?

No promises, but I’ll see if I can knock up an alternative scoring on that basis. Need to take a piss first though.

[Gerald]

Are these EW 1,2 just with the Tote, or with the bookmakers as well?

[Gerald]

Jeez, Pompete, you’ve just got rid of most of my points!

[Gerald]

All horses taken the wrong course, because of a wire across it???

[Pompete]

G,

Less than five runners – Win Only
5 – 7 runners – 1st & 2nd
8 – 15 runners – 1st, 2nd & 3rd
16+ runners – 1st, 2nd, 3rd in Non-Handicaps & 4th in Handicaps only

As I say I’m only going on what I think Corm has written, so I could be wrong. Hopefully he can clarify, one way or another.

[Gerald]

Okay, this is the scoring if we’re only counting 1,2 in 5,6,7 runner races.

Maybe we can wangle two copies out of Timeform?

I’d have thought my original scoring will be prefered, as this is a "fun" competition, and it seems a bit weird to pick two horses in the 4 horse race I ain’t scored yet.

Are you absolutely sure Pompete?

I don’t bet all that often, but I thought it was win only for 5 runner races (at SP) (brain going back 23 years).

Are you absolutely sure Pompete?

Yeah

But, as I say it’s up to Corm to say what’s what.

What I’d also like to know is what happens if two people tie for first place? Do they get six months each

[Gerald]

Haven’t done the alternative scoring yet, but I know

Grey Desire

won that one as well, because they were leading after 5 races and got good scores in the last two. No one picked UB Careful, so I’m going to look at that horse afterwards.

Rather annoying really, as I was looking forward to getting two copies out of Timeform. (It is the only way I’d be able to get one over Rory.)

There’s likely to be an error or two here, as I’m a bit punch-drunk.

1st only 4 or fewer runners
1st & 2nd 5, 6 or 7 runners
First 3 otherwise

deleted. I had a 32 where I should have had a 31. Correct (?) alternative scoring is in two post time.

[Gerald]

I’ve tried this 3 times.

Putting it in order on the spreadsheet.
Mark and Control-C
editing the post, delete, Control -V

but it ain’t working.

Good work with the scoring yesterday Gerald.

Blackbeard to conquer the World

[chloed]

Am i right in thinking a 12/1 second scores the same points as an 8/1 winner ?

[cormack15]

Guys – sorry been away for the weekend, virtually computerless.

Yes, scoring is as per Pompete’s post – sorry, should have made that clear. Normal place rulings.

Yes Chloed, it does. Incentive to go for those bigger prices.

Finally, in the event of a draw after next Saturday the player with the biggest priced winner will be adjudged the winner, if still a draw then their next biggest priced winner and so on.

Let me know if any other queries on rules before Saturday if possible.

Thanks for scoring it Gerald. Much appreciated.

[Gerald]

Yes, I was waiting for the inevitable post "you’ve got such-and-such wrong in race x" but it never arrived – well, apart from Pompete’s systemic spanner.
