Thanks for the try chuck :-))

If I was Sportz I'd be asking Neil to fix the forum clocks [how hard could it be?] and set a 15min. pre-jump post rule as 'lateness' is about jump time surely[?] Otherwise, with the good weather and longer days coming up this comp. is going to have a completely different punter list at the end of it than it had at the beginning and the scores will be meaningless. Flexibility should be the order of the day here considering the nature of the comp., it's length and the importance of players turning up every week ....the same players!

Nobody likes a hollow victory and it was with that spirit in mind that I made the effort to get a few tips in for the sake of the game and my fellow competitor. I had not only lost my adsl line but had a computer crash and had spent all day trying to recover lost files and then re-installing windows.
In the back of my mind was the importance of 'turning up' for the comp. [I didn't even get a bet on for the day] which I made the effort to do and now wish I hadn't bothered.
