Remember, those with ** next to their name, you need to keep tipping each week to stay in the comp.

Default consider rule adjustment for 2019

Quote:
1. Of the 8 Saturdays during the preliminary rounds, you must tip on at least 6 of them. You are allowed to miss 2 weeks


Consider a rule 1 adjustment because it's a main event.

Except a Cup day if it falls on long weekend Monday ??
Hence the Adelaide Cup, ( Australian capital city cup day for that matter)

or words to that effect.

In other words, because it was Adelaide Cup day, then we can have the option to post selections on either the Saturday, a Cup day feature race on a Monday, but not both.

Yeah I could have done that. During the spring, I let people tip on Fridays & Sundays when big races are on then.

Would have had the winner myself if I'd tipped on the cup today.

Sportz, just another rule change for consideration for future competitions. Instead of making people tip in 6 of 8 weeks how about just having a penalty for not betting in a week. So if you missed 1 week its -10%, miss two weeks its -20%, and continue the -10% ongoing for each week not tipped.

It would mean those not tipping or tipping less weeks do not gain an advantage over those who have put in at least 3 selections every week.

I am just putting it out there for consideration... BTW thanks again for the hard work you put in.

Understand this thinking. BUT, there are some times when for whatever reason, you just genuinely can't get online to tip and there are times when you look at the races and really can't find anything at all that you like. But more importantly, there are usually people who join in the competition late because they don't realise it's started yet. We only had 5 people I think for the first week. The people who miss out in such cases, shouldn't really be penalised. The rules are there for everyone. If you have a bye or two up your sleeve, and you're in a good spot, you may just decide to sit on your position in the last week or two. It's up to you. But then you run the risk of missing out if someone else goes past you.

By the way, the finals in the Autumn are only a top 4, not a top 8 as we have in the spring, so at the moment Dillwar, william, walkermac and UselessBettor are the ones in line to play finals.

Only put it up for consideration. I am also happy with the way it is.
