Welcome to the Group Race Glory Comp !

The aim of this comp is FUN, FUN, FUN. Oh, and also to see which one of you Horse Racing Desparados will become the KINGPIN GROUP RACE TIPSTAR I have tried to keep this simple because I’m sure Sportz and Crash have far too much time on their hands! I’ve kept the dollars out of this because I’m only a primary school teacher and can’t add up too well.

I also kept the $ out of it because I want to reward the best overall GROUP RACE tipster on our fine forum, not just the lucky ************** who snares one or two first 4 for the season.


OK – DETAILS OF THE COMP

Starting with the Lightning Stakes and running every weekend until the final day of the Sydney Carnival (April 14) I’ll be asking for your top 4 selections on a group race nominated each week in the order you’ll think they’ll finish.


Eg Melbourne Cup

2 Delta Blues
12 Pop Rock
23 Maybe Better
13 Zipping


We’ll keep a table following each race.


Points will be scored for the following:

Top selection runs 1^st – 10 pts
Top selection runs 2^nd – 6 pts
Top selection runs 3^rd – 2 pts
Box Quinella – 15 pts
Box Trifecta – 30 pts
Box first 4 – 75 pts
If you pick the winner 3 weeks in a row you get a BONUS 100 pts


Points for 1^st,2^nd or 3^rd are earned for your top selection ONLY.


Thus, if you correctly selected the first 4 in running order you would earn
10pts (1^st) + 15pts (BQuin) + 30pts (BTri) + 75pts (1^st4) = 130pts


Note

If any of your selections are scratched your other selections will move up a place and you will receive the sp favourite on unitab to replace the scratching. If there are two equal faves you’ll get the number closest to #1
If two of your selections are scratched – BAD LUCK !
You’ll be out of the running for the first 4


SELECTIONS NEED TO BE IN 1 HOUR BEFORE THE BIG RACE
I think that is pretty much covers it

If you have any questions just ask and I’m expecting lots of customers since I’m a L-PLATE COMPMASTER and most of you leave your tips on other threads anyway.


GOOD LUCK AND GOOD TIPPING

Thanks to Chuck for the early noms (he likes Miss Andretti)
Perhaps you'd like to be my first contestant Chuck?

I'll be in.

I'll post selections later in the week, if that's permissible Mr Spartacus.

Ahhh, good to see someone else sharing some of the competition organising load.

I think perhaps you could possibly reward people a bit more for picking the winner though. Perhaps 30 points if your top tip wins, 20 if it comes second and 10 if it comes 3rd. Then the highest possible score would be 150 points.

yeah i'll have a go

yep im in to

I'll have a crack...
