TDF AINTREE FESTIVAL COMPETITION

[Sprocket501]

Thursday April 12th to Saturday April 14th

I've always felt Aintree is a bit 'after the Lord Mayor's Show' coming so soon after Cheltenham but it's still a great meeting often showcasing the best jumpers and hurdlers Britain and Ireland has to offer. Let's get involved with our first Horse Racing Competition here on thedartsforum.com.

The Rules are simple and all it takes from you is one selection each race posted on this forum. I will take care of the rest.

1) You pick one horse in each race every day.
2) You can go for a (virtual) £2 win bet or £1 e/w.
3) All e/w's will be paid 1/4 the odds.
4) All selections must be in before the scheduled off time of the first race each day.
5) If you select a non runner, then you can change your selection, but the new pick has to be stated on this thread before the scheduled off time of the first race of the day or you will be on the favourite. In the event of there being joint or co favourites, you will be on the lowest numbered horse of these.
6) When making your selections you can pick a reserve at the same time if you wish.

7) Scoring will be odds based. For example, if you pick a 10/1 winner, you will score 20 points. A 7/2 winner will score 7 points. A 16-1 winner backed £1 ew will score 20 points (1x21 and 1 x 5). The stake is not included in the result so noone will have a negative score. All results will be settled at SP.

8) Scoring will be updated as soon as possible bearing in mind I am at work during the first two days of the meet.
9) The winner will be the person who has the highest total at the end of the week.
10) Entry is free. In future events, we may have a voluntary entry fee for those wishing to do so.
11) Any disputes will be resolved by myself and Dicie and our decisions are final.

Example of an entry:

Thursday

Race 1: Noisysuckshard £2 win
Race 2: Knottsisamisery £1 ew
Race 3: Downyoche £1 ew
Race 4: Sprocketisgod £2 win
Race 5: MHsZimmer £2 win
Race 6: Izdatroight £1 ew

Hope you get involved.

Remember to get your first day's entries in on this thread by the start of the first race on Thursday 12th April.

Sprocket, I've added you to Comp Organisers so you can lock threads at appropriate times on comps you run

[Sprocket501]

Cheers.

[Sprocket501]

Just a quick reminder of this - starts on Thursday.

I will be able to do scores quite promptly on Thursday and Saturday but Friday afternoon, I am travelling down to London, so won't be able to do scores until late that evening.

As long as all your selections are in before the first race though, all should be fine.

[M H]

Looks like a fun comp, I'm in

[Sprocket501]

We do similar on another forum I use but I don't enter because I despise the cunt who runs it.

They're good fun though, gives people interest in the event who don't want to risk real money and in the future, we could always run a concurrent competition where people pay a tenner or something entry fee and winner gets all.

I hope all mods and admin will be supporting this.

[M H]

Mine's already in mate, I expect to come a very poor last!

As it's on Sp's I'll score it if Dicie can't mate. One thing, is the stake added to the return as it would be in the bookies?

[Sprocket501]

No, no stake added to the return - just the profit.

Hence noone will be in minus figures.
