Ok final day rules, pick a horse in every race, you score points as per league rules, which are here :

.0 Scoring - Players score "Goals" according to the performance of each of there 6 selections on each matchday with goals awarded according to the odds of winning and placed horses as follows.
4.1 Winning selections score goals according to their final starting prices as follows:
Odds On - score 2 goals
Evens to 9/2 - score 3 goals
5/1 or more - score 4 goals
10/1 or more - score 5 goals
20/1 or more - score 6 goals
4.2 Placed selections score goals according to their final starting prices as follows:
Odds On - score 0 goals
Evens or more - score 1 goal
10/1 or more - score 2 goals
20/1 or more - score 3 goals.
Place Terms - In determining the goals scored for win and placed selections the following place terms apply according to the number of runners in the race:
2-4 runners - only the Winner scores goals;
5-7 runners - Winner, and 2nd place score goals;
8 or more runners - Winners, 2nd, and 3rd place score goals;
16 or more runners (in handicaps only) - Winner, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place score goals


League format, with the person with most points finishing top, and so on...

In the event of a tie, the higher placed person will be decided by most Winners on the day, and then by biggest price winner, If they still cannot be split, then simply they tie, and in event of any prize money neccessary it is then split.

Two no shows for this - farce!  No one had the winner there - although Refinement was mightily close!!!

*sigh* The comm was so busy playing to the crowd there about the ride McCoy had given Refinement he didnt even call the last 50 yards as she was getting beaten. Im not sure how Refinement didnt win there.

I had refinement at 10s, win only

she didn't quite stay sadly, great ride to get her up as she jumped badly and was way back but as soon as she did she stopped

Bugger.

McCoy got a 4 day ban for hitting the horse too many times , Thormton rode 2 winners on Tuesday and was banned for his ride on both of them, McCoy seemed to be aware that he couldnt hit the horse again there.

Yep, she stopped as soon as she got in front

Super human/horse effort to get there in the first place

The daft thing is if he does A 'Thornton' and just keeps whacking away and wins he prob only gets the same ban anyway.

sh*t sh*t sh*t i run so bad.. internet access been down in work.. missed 2 races as well..

Unofficial final standings.

Bobby and Indy both had 2 winners but Bobby had the biggest price winner Making him the champion. Fergus gets 3rd having 1 winner to my none.

Does everyone agree with these scores?

looks good mate

i much prefered the first idea where everyone got £20 per race, this system makes it a lot easier to back a fave as they usually place, no 1 is gonna go ew on a 10/11 shot in the initial system, but picking kauto star in the 2nd system got you points.

just a small grumble

but hey i won free money

Just back from Cheltenham and had a nice win on Denman, shame a few places weren't winners. So near yet so far, congrats Bobby1 and thanks to Rookie for running this.  It will be my pleasure to accept $50 from Kev!
 ;yippee;

wp Ed, gg all.

LOL, i can't help it if they called off a day to f*ck the whole plan up!

Btw, Scores are good, ty Pelham... WP Phil and All... Over to Kev..

when is the award ceremony?

Could all winners PM me their blonde card room screen names so I can arrange the transfer of prizes.

ta.

Pity I wasn't in this, I ran well from the Gold Cup onwards, had Denman, Amicelli and whoever won the 4.40!
