Spring tipping comp
 

Going to start this up again soon.

For those unfamiliar with it, we all go head to head against a different tipster each week and earn competition points by winning these matchups. The top tipsters at the end of the comp progress to an AFL type final series played out over the week of the Melbourne Cup carnival.

Those who want to have a go, please tell me here.

You have to tip every week, so if you won't be able to do that, then it's best you give it a miss and let someone else have a go.

NATIONAL PUNTING LEAGUE (Spring 2010)

Here's how the comp works. It's tipsters going head to head each week over 12 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 6.

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.
If you want any or all of your selections each-way, you must say so. 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 week 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 horse as your opponent in the feature race, but not 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 using unitab dividends. 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. If both tipsters' selections fail to score any points at all, then they 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 12 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 AFL final series. The finals will be conducted over the 4 days of the Melbourne Cup carnival.

Round 1:

August 7
aidleo v nags2riches
Chuck v Pedro
Goldcoaster v Raw Instinct
Horse Whisperer v Samboss
jasent2006 v Sirpent
luv2bet v Sportz
Maverick1993 v TheSchmile
Matilda v William

Feature race:

FLEM R6 AURIE'S STAR HCP
1 ROYAL IDA
2 HEADWAY
3 BELTROIS
4 LEICA LARRIKIN
5 GRAND DUELS
6 VIKING TURF BELLE
7 ELUSIVE TOUCH
8 SPACECRAFT
9 CHERONBUTCH
10 THE HANDSOME ONE
11 UXORIOUS

Deadline for posting tips is 2:40 AEST Saturday afternoon.

Please remember to post a selection for the feature race plus a reserve. And then post 4 other selections and 2 reserves from any of the other races on the day. Also, remember to state if you want any or all of your tips each-way. Otherwise they'll be counted as win bets.

And check to see if your opponent has already tipped, so that you don't post the same tips.

Come on, who's going to start the ball rolling?

Where are you, Horse Whisperer??? ;)
