NATIONAL PUNTING LEAGUE (Spring 2008)

Okay, firstly, we're not actually starting the comp this week. It doesn't officially start until next week. This is just a way of making sure that everyone understands how it works and is actually ready to go next week.

Here's how the comp works. It's 16 tipsters going head to head each week over 15 rounds in an effort to reach the final series conducted over the week of the Melbourne Cup carnival, with the champion to be decided on November 8.

Please read the rules carefully........


RULES

Everyone is to make 5 selections each week. These selections can be either $20 win or $10 each way.
Please include in your post whether you want any or all of your selections each-way. If you don't say that you want them each-way, they will automatically be counted as win bets.

Everyone must make a selection in the feature race of the week.
Each Thursday I will post a feature race that we all have to tip in. Simply post a selection for this race and also make sure to include a reserve selection in case of a scratching.

Tipsters must then choose 4 more selections from any other gallops races in Australia covered by Unitab.
Simply post these four extra selections and also please include 2 reserve selections (in order of preference) in case of scratchings. So, in all, you should have 8 selections, 5 first selections and 3 reserve selections.

Apart from the feature race, the tipster who posts second in each match, isn't allowed to pick any of the horses chosen by the tipster who posted first.
So, if you post your selections after your opponent, please check to see what they've already picked. It is okay to choose the same horses as your opponent in the feature race, but you can not pick the same horses as your opponent in any of the other races that day. That even includes reserve selections.

Deadline for posting your tips is 30 minutes prior to jump time in the feature race of the day.
Please make sure you get your tips in by this time. The feature race usually isn't on until somewhere between 3 and 4 o'clock, so this really gives you plenty of time to get your tips in.

HOW IT WORKS:

Points will be scored on the basis of money returned. In other words, if your selections returned a total of $115, then you score 115 points. If that's more points than your opponent scores, you win the match.

Now, for the competition points........

Firstly, to get any competition points, you must score. When I ran this comp previously, some people were awarded points when they had a nil all draw, so effectively they were being rewarded for tipping very poorly or not even tipping at all in some cases. Not this time. If both tipsters fail to score in a match, then they'll both miss out on getting any competition points in that match. Otherwise, the points will be awarded like this:

2 points for a win
1 point for a draw
1 bonus point for a score of 150 or more

At the end of the 15 rounds, the 8 tipsters with the most competition points will go into a final series using the same format as you would find in the NRL or AFL final series. The finals will be conducted over the 4 days of the Melbourne Cup carnival.

As for the teams competition, it will work this way. Each week, the 3 highest scores from each team will be added together to get a team score. These team scores are added together for all 15 rounds and the team with the highest total at the end is the winner.

[Sportz]

These are the 16 tipsters that have signed up to the comp:

"The Maroons"
Sportz
Horse Whisperer
Makybe Diva
Benny
Maverick
Raw Instinct

"The Blues"
Chuck
Reded
Sirpent
Goldcoaster
The Blob

"The Big V"
Crash
Youngbuck
Try Try Again
Crackone
Mr Quaddie

I'd like those people now to just confirm that they still want to be involved. Not much good signing on to the comp and then not tipping. You'll just be taking the spot of someone who does want to have a go.

I already have one reserve tipster just in case: Matilda (Vic)

And if anyone else wants to put their name down as a reserve, then they can.

[Crackone]

I'LL Confirm Sportz "GO VIC"

[Raw Instinct]

All good here mate

[Makybe Diva]

Yep all good except unless the AFL has changed, its final system is different to the NRL. In the NRL, its 1st vs 8th, 2nd vs 7th etc whereas in the AFL, isn't it 1st vs 4th, 5th vs 8th etc?

[Sportz]

Oops, sorry. Yeah, I meant the AFL system.

The NRL SHOULD use the AFL system instead of the stupid one they currently use. :rolleyes:

[crash]

"Apart from the feature race, the tipster who posts second in each match, isn't allowed to pick any of the horses chosen by the tipster who posted first."

Seems like an unfair rule. If there is an obvious favorite [or personal choice] etc. it means that if an opponent gets first choice they own it just because they get it up on the board first. Meaning the slower onto the board has to pick a horse for a winner they might not or do not believe will be the winner? What difference does it make if each punter puts up the selection they think will win? Why does the first to put up their selection 'own' that selection?

It's your comp. Sportz and you can run it anyway you like, but perhaps you should give this rule some more thought.

[Sportz]

Crash,

I understand what you're saying, but the feature race is the only race where you HAVE to make a selection, and in that race, you CAN choose the same horse(s) as your opponent. Apart from that race, there will be dozens of other races and hundreds of other horses to choose from. So while you might have to drop a horse you do like, I'm sure you won't have to pick a horse you DON'T like.

We've used this rule (or something similar) in a previous comp and it generally worked out okay. Basically, it is both an incentive to get your tips in early and also a way of stopping people from simply copying some of their opponent's tips to stop them gaining an advantage. Also, I think it just makes for a more interesting comp if people competing against each other have a different set of tips.

Based on past experience, the chances are that there would probably be no more than a couple of tips you would have to change.

[Horse Whisperer]

All good here to sportz
Can i have my first weeks bank on Qld to take out the series please :)

[maverick1993]

All good Sportz,,,and love the new rules :)

[Mr Quaddie]

I am confirmed. I believe UniTAB features meetings from Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney.

You can choose the same race just not the same horse as your opponent.

[crash]

Thanks for the explanation Sportz. I thought the rule included the feature race but was wrong.

[The Blob]

Yes, I'm in.

[Sportz]

I am confirmed. I believe UniTAB features meetings from Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney.

You can choose the same race just not the same horse as your opponent.

Yeah, you can also tip on places like the Gold Coast, Toowoomba, NSW & Victorian provincial meetings, even the Northern Territory if you like! Any Australian gallops meeting covered by Unitab.

[Goldcoaster]

yep i'm in.....sounds like this comp will be a lot of fun. thanks for running it Sportz

[reded]

Bring it on Sportz

[Matilda]

I thought I have my name in. Do advise Sportz. Thanks.

[Sportz]

You are down as a reserve, Matilda. If anyone drops out, you're definitely in.

[Matilda]

OK. Thanks.

[Chuck]

ready to go

[SIRPENT]

im right to go

[YoungBuck]

Sounds like fun. Confirmed.

[Matilda]

Hi Sportz,

Do you want me to submit my selection just in case one of the 16 didnt turn up?

[Sportz]

Just check back in later in the week. Then I'll know. At the moment, there are only two tipsters who haven't so far confirmed that they'll be involved in the comp.

[Try Try Again]

Hi Sportz,


Have been away so sorry for the delay in replying.

I'm definitely in

Try Try Again

[crash]

I put my name in early and I'm a certain starter Sportz.

[Sportz]

Yep. I was already counting you, crash.

[Sportz]

Okay guys, here we go with round 1:

ROUND ONE - JULY 19:

Reded (NSW) v Makybe Diva (QLD)
Crash (VIC) v Benny (QLD)
Maverick1993 (QLD) v Sirpent (NSW)
Youngbuck (VIC) v Chuck (NSW)
Raw Instinct (QLD) v The Blob (NSW)
Try Try Again (VIC) v Goldcoaster (NSW)
Sportz (QLD) v Horse Whisperer (QLD)
Crackone (VIC) v Mr Quaddie (VIC)

Feature race:

CAUL R6 - 3.20 SIR JOHN MONASH STAKES (1100 METRES)
1 CARGO CULT - Jarrod McLean Brad Rawiller 1 58.5
2 LIVE IN VAIN - Peter G Moody Jason Benbow 13 58.5
3 TESBURY JACK - Julie Scott Darren Gauci 7 58.5
4 APPLE LODE - Steve McKinnon Greg Childs 11 58.5
5 SLOW TALKIN WALTER - Colin Little Danny Brereton 10 58.5
6 ELECTRONIC CROSS (NZ) - Doug Harrison Sebastian Murphy (a) 4 58.5
7 RED ARROW - Anthony Cummings Damien Oliver 2 58.5
8 OUR ROCK AND ROLLA - Ross Simpson Steven Arnold 12 58.5
9 LUCKY DIVA - Robert Smerdon Ben Melham 3 56
10 LA CHASSEUSE - Danny O'Brien Jamie Mott 6 56
11 WHITEHAVEN GIRL - Ray Cleaver Michael Rodd 5 56
12 ROSE CEREMONY - Mathew Ellerton Chris Symons 9 55.5
13 LADY PHOEBE (NZ) - Robbie Laing Craig Newitt 8 55.5

So there you go. Basically, you have to make a selection and a reserve selection in the feature race. Then make 4 other selections and 2 reserve selections from any other gallops races in Australia on Saturday covered by Unitab. And remember that if your opponent has already posted their tips, you can post the same selections as them in the feature race, but not in the other races.

[Sportz]

Hi Sportz,

Do you want me to submit my selection just in case one of the 16 didnt turn up?

Is there any chance you can come onto the forum on Saturday if needed???

Benny is the only one who hasn't confirmed his place in the comp, so he might be a no-show.

I can see you're keen to be in this comp, so I'd really like to give you a go. But I think I should give Benny a chance first as he was one of the first people to put his name down for the comp.

[Mr Quaddie]

When are tips due?

[Sportz]

The final deadline is exactly 30 mins before the start time of the feature race, so that means 2:50 AEST on Saturday.

Youngbuck is free to choose Centurion if he wants.

I had 2 of my good winning subs in at first, but wasn't real happy with them, so I went looking at Mophetville and found QUOTATION looked like a good thing so I left Jungle Ruler out and was tossing up between MY LIMIT and LENNON for a longshot and turned out I picked the wrong one. Can't complain! You might get revenge next time we meet.

Congratulations Blob leader of the BLUES -Top Effort



Sorry about that Makye Diva ---but hey there's nothing better than beating a Queenslander


Go the BLUES

[maverick1993]

slow start for the title holder :( but atleast the Qld boys are holding the flag nice and high ..
I'll get better ,,hopefully :)

Well done Sirpent,,,good old Newtons Rings ,,you cant keep a good horse down and he just keeps on going,,,probably enjoyed carrying a normal weight for a change,,

[Horse Whisperer]

Go the Queenslanders!!!

[Raw Instinct]

I actually had 2 horses I really liked today one started the other didn't Xavier I thought was the bet of the day and Scission was my next best would have liked to have seen it run. I was struggling to pick something today to be honest I just hadn't had the time to look over the form last night and had to work today.

I actually had a couple of very nice winners get up for me My Limit (I know I had Song of Hope in my selections but that was in hope of a dry track) was one also was great odds really and took probably the absolute perfect ride from Scriven to get it home I also managed to get Pinsemtoit in the last in melbourne but I did back 3 horses in that race aswell as I felt the fav was beatable there (although only just in the end).


I am surprised I got the points I did today on here and outside of the selections of Tesbury Jack, Scission and Xavier there wasn't much time able to be put into it.

[Try Try Again]

Well what can I say!

An absolute disgraceful effort with my selections, although I had 2 good winners sitting on the "pine" waiting to get on! Wouldn't be surprised if the Vic coach wanted to bench me!

What was I thinking picking La Chasseuse (a mare second up) against Tesbury Jack(very good first up at track & distance). I must have had a meltdown!

The only good thing it can't get any worse.....or can it?

[Horse Whisperer]

Sportz any idea what the feature race will be this week? Im heading to melbourne early thursday morning and im not relying on being able to get internet access while i am down there so i might have to make my selections off the nominations if that is ok??

[Sportz]

Hmmm, a bit tough deciding this early in the week when there is no really BIG race on. The Dermody in Adelaide is a listed race, but I think we'll go for the 1200m flying hcp in Melbourne instead. Here are the nominations:

1 APPLE LODE
2 BIANOMOUR
3 BINGHAM
4 CANDY MAN
5 DRUMBEATER
6 FREE THE ROBBER
7 HUNTER HERMITAGE
8 JACKORELLI BOY
9 JERRYMAC
10 JEUNEYMAN
11 JUGGLE THE BOOKS
12 KINGSTON CLASSIC (NZ)
13 MARWIN GOLD

Hey Raw Instinct how many picks do you want?

The whole idea of having subs is they are on "standby" if you get a scratching. Two of my initial selections were scratched so my 2 subs come into play.

What's the point of having rules, Sportz kindly set out, if you're not going to abide by them?

Yes, I must say it does make it easier if people just stick to their original selections and reserves. But if people do want to make changes on Saturday morning because some of their horses are scratched, then they can.

[Raw Instinct]

looks like i am popular then upto you sportz I couldn't care less to be honest the problem was at the time I couldn't find a sub i wanted to have and when I had a chance to sit down and look at perth I would have rathered have just picked the lot of my horses over there the races on this side of the country were pitiful.

I just do not have a great deal of time and it was the only reason I picked last night only to wake up this morning and find out i wasn't going to have to work today which was supposed to happen.

I appologise and from now on I won't post my tips till late and if i miss out then so be it.

It looks like the Battle of the Cellar Dwellers next week.

Not really. I'd prefer you actually nominate a couple of reserves. Just having the favourite can cause confusion. The on track favourite mightn't be the TAB favourite. And also, there could possibly be equal favourites. What would you do then?

Well, most of us are finding it tough so far today. Not Matilda though with a win bet on Commanding Hope! Well done!

[SIRPENT]

could not get on comp this morning--can i tip at toowoomba

[Sportz]

Sorry mate. Was wondering where you got to. The deadline wasn't until 4:25, so there was plenty of time. It wouldn't be fair to your opponent or anyone else in the comp to allow you to tip now. In any case, you have to tip on the feature race, and it's gone.

Bad luck mate. Hope you understand. Please keep going in the comp.

[crash]

Melb. went from dead to heavy [it was never dead but started out slow] and Adelaide went from dead to slow I reckon . Not an easy day.

I had him on my blackbook that he will run well in Caul or Flem as for longer straight compare to MV.
Thanks Mav.


Go Big V.

Bad day yesterday we all have them tossed up between tipping Captain Bax or Vecchia Roma on here yesterday backed them both personally, Think Vecchia Roma would have gone real close with a clear run.

Hi guys.

I haven't looked in on the horsey forum for a while so sorry i missed the comp.
Well, probably haven't got a lot of time to look with a baby on the way in the
next month anyway. Having said that I may think up some ridiculous comp for everyone to have a look at as well as the NPL. Good punting and will see you in
the autumn comp. Sportz - after i stitch you up in the sports punting comp!
