[Nathan Hughes]

For threads to enter plus rules and leaderboard check out the competition section of the forum nearer the time

Racing Competitions

A bit early but getting ahead of myself whilst I’ve got a few minutes spare, it will be starting soon enough, if you don’t know when you is on the wrong forum……..

PLEASE READ RULES FIRST BEFORE MAKING SELECTIONS

Failure to do so could result in missed points, your choice……..

Prize –

I’m hoping Mr Cormack will come up trumps again for us, details will be posted nearer the time, if not then a place on the Roll of Honour and title of Lord or Lady of Cheltenham tipping Champion 2017 will suffice.

Winner –

The person with the highest overall score from the 4 days.
If tied combined scores of 4 naps,
if still tied highest day 1 score,
still tied day 2 etc.
If still tied a duel will commence where the winner will be the one who can sit through a Ginger percentage maths lesson the longest.

Rules –

Each day you pick one horse per race; plus reserves in case of non-runners

In one race per day you can pick two horse plus reserves

Pick one nap per day, if your nap wins you score double points.
(Only Naps that come 1st get double points, placed Naps score normal points)

Important –

All sections have to be before the start of the 1st race of each day.
(please do not edit posts if you need to make any alterations make a new post)……

Thanks Nathan, I’ll certainly be taking part. I’ll give you my full name for the ‘roll of honour’ after the festival

[Nathan Hughes]

Good luck Jaymo, I think it could be a field of about 60 minimum hopefully, although marking the scores can get a bit tiresome
