FEBRUARY RACING CHALLENGE

FEBRUARY RACING CHALLENGE


What is it?
A friendly challenge based on sportslive's "trap challenge" but this one is for horse racing.

When is it on?
Whenever there is an evening meeting in the UK or Ireland - see scheduled challenges below.

Where do I enter?
Just reply to this thread with your selections for each race and you will be entered into one of the groups - see below for more details.

How do I enter?
You need to post your selections for each race of the meeting. You can only have 1 selection per race (and 1 reserve) and you have to make one of them your NAP - ie. best bet. The better your selections do then the more points you get.

This is a fun competition although there is cash to winners & runners-up in both comps but please note the following>>

* selections should be posted up before the first race of a meeting
* no editing posts after the first race
* if you only have enough time to get a single selection up before the off, then that's fine so long as you post the rest up in one go and no more than about 15mins later

How do I score points?

REGULAR POINTS

Horse finishes 1st in any race = 5pts
Horse finishes 2nd in any race = 3pts
Horse finishes 3rd in any race = 1pts

* NAP = you get double points for your NAP(best bet) so 10 points for the win, 6 points for 2nd and 2pts for 3rd.


BONUS FOR BIG PRICES -

Should you be one of the people who selects the biggest priced winner on the night t any one meeting then you will be awarded 5 BONUS POINTS. This only applies to the Group Stages.


* PLEASE POST A RESERVE SELECTION FOR EACH RACE

If you request that your non-runners go onto the fav then you will score no points for that race. Only if your selection and reserve selections are both non runners will your selection then go onto the SP favourite.


BONUS POINTS

If you are 1st at the end of the night = +5pts to your total
If you are 2nd at the end of the night = +3pts to your total
If you are 3rd at the end of the night = +1pts to your total

* in the event of a tie for bonus points the person with the most 1st placed selections will be deemed the winner. If these are equal then it goes to the most 2nd places and then 3rd places. If all the above are equal then the points for the winning positions will be added together and then divided out equally.


GROUP STAGE

* when you first post your selections you will be randomly entered into one of four different groups.

* if there are any late entries - either after the first race or "extra" entries the following night - then they will be put into a random division aswell.

* Your total points at the end of each meeting will be recorded and added together. After the final qualifying meeting of this month, the top two in each group will progress to a knock out stage.


KNOCKOUT STAGE

* if you finished in the top 4 in the table then you make it through to the knockout stages.

* the challengers can PM me or with their selections so there is no copying and I will post them before the off of the first race.

CUP COMPETITION

* if you have the highest overall score from a single meeting next month you will get a place in the cup. If you end up in the top two of your group though you will only enter the main knockout contest.

* Once the final cup entrants are decided then they will all compete in a single group for one meeting. The top four in the group will then go through to the semi-final to play in a head-to-head format. PM GECKO6 with entries in the head to head stages.
