Okay, this starts next week, but I need you to put your names down now, so I can start organising it all.

If you remember, it's a tipping comp where you go head to head against every other tipster over the course of the comp, then at the end, the top tipsters take part in a final series conducted over the 4 days of the Melbourne Cup carnival.

I'd like to have 16 people preferably, but I can organise it with another number.

Also, last year, we had an interstate challenge (between Qld, NSW & Vic). So any new people who sign up, I'd like you to tell me which state you want to represent.

Ohhh, and please, before you put your name down, make sure you can keep going for the next 4 months. We go right through from next week to the Cup Carnival in November. If you sign up and you're not able to stick around for the duration, you may be taking the spot of someone else who can.

Refresh my memory please Stix. Do we get set races to pick from and if so how many? Do we just pick a winner?

Sportz here again. Or should I change my name to Stix just for you. :)

You pick out 5 horses each week to back win or each way. There is one feature race each week where everyone has to make a selection. Then the other 4 selections are up to you - any gallops race anywhere in Australia and covered by Unitab.

I will go in your comp only if you can not get your 16.
I might miss a week or two but I may get wraped into it and be very competitive to.

I dont believe you have to repeat your rules.
Tas
but I will go wherever I will leave that for you to choose.

Do let me know if I make your list. thanks Sportz.

Sportz
10th July 2009, 06:38 PM
Well, I can tell you now, you're on the list, because we currently only have 8 certain starters. 3 from Qld, 2 from NSW, 3 from Vic. I need 8 more if possible.

Sportz
11th July 2009, 06:36 PM
Okay, I have 12 tipsters now, so I'd like 4 more if possible. Currently 5 from Qld, 4 from NSW and 3 from Vic, so I'd like at least 1 more from Victoria.

Sportz
13th July 2009, 02:45 PM
Come on guys. Anyone else?

I can actually run the comp with just 12 people, but I'd prefer 16.

13th July 2009, 05:01 PM
Get aboard guys, even though 3 of us from Vic. should be enough to carry off winning the comp. LOL, LOL

15th July 2009, 07:54 PM
Well, it doesn't seem like anyone else wants to join in, so it looks like we'll have 12 tipsters. I'll give people another day though to sign up if they want to.

Sportz, sorry to do this to you at such a late time but my computer is currently on the blink - can't get it for at least 3 weeks so I may be an unreliable convenience. Again, sorry but best if I pull out rather than stuff it all up.

Sportz
17th July 2009, 06:38 PM
Okay, no worries.
