Format still being worked out, will be up soon - for now, anyone who wants in please declare your interest on this thread.
Ok, format, as discussed with Couch Kev, gone for a bit of a mixture .. COMP IS LIMITED TO 30 RUNNERS, FIRST CONFIRMED, FIRST SERVE.
I am currently working on Kev to chuck in some prize money which i am sure he wont let us down with
Cheltenham is Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri...
On Tuesday and Wednesday everyone is in one group, hopefully a group of 30... You will choose 5 horses each day to have a £1
UNLUCKY 31 (Singles, Doubles, Trebles, Fourfolds and Acca), the top 8 returns after Wednesdays races will progress to Thursday's races.
On Thursday the 8 remaining will have £20 in each race to spend, they can spend how they like, for example, you can have 1 x £20 bet, or 4 x £5 bets etc... One thing you must do is wager the whole £20, but you CANNOT lay a horse. The 1st and 2nd at the end of the day progress through to play off for the title, and 3rd and 4th will also playoff on the final day of Cheltenham.
On the final day, the 1st vs 2nd and 3rd vs 4th, will playoff as per usual Blonde Tipster's league rules, which are as follows...
4.0 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.
