Next Tipping Comp?

[tikay]

Thoughts, please?

Cheltenham went so well partly because it was over 27 (?) Events, & 4 days. Not many other Events fit that profile.

Next up, as to "major interest" Events are.....

Grand National & associated Meeting.

The Masters Golf

Guineas Meeting

The (Football) World Cup

Epsom Derby Meeting

Royal Ascot

The Open.

Not sure how many of them would work as well as Cheltenham - just Royal Ascot & maybe the World Cup?

When I was discussing the Cheltenham thing with Mere beforehand, he stressed he did not mind - enjoyed even - doing them, but was keen that it got plenty of Entrants. Doing it for 8 or 9 Entries is no good.


Suggestions welcomed.

The Master for me. Can do loads with it.

If be in for a World Cup one.

The key thing is retaining interest beyond the first day.

Just "name the winner" would not work, as most would lose interest after Round One.

Chelters worked because we all had 27 attempts, & were always still in with a chance up until the very end. Except Big-D & Dubai, of course.

Haha, still won a large proportion of the entry fee back though, not many can say that 

I have enjoyed everyone of these tipping competitions, Vince organise them all so well and they are full of fun.

Would be in for most competitions whatever they are as long as they don't become overbearing and happen to often so a quarterly competition or something would be ideal, obviously depending on the timing of the events.

Jesus. Apologies for the ironisms.

Masters works if you're picking the winner of each day's card. Must be markets for those we can play off.

I'm in for pretty much anything (jokes on your own time, please)

Agree with you Tikay. But straight off you have 1st round leader, lowest score each day, GIR, longest drive, do it based on a team of players cumulative scores. It doesn't have to be just name the winner and I'm sure the golf boys can come up with a few ideas.

The problem is that Cheltenham is massive so some people played who may not normally. You know whatever is done will not please everyone but the numbers will tell if it will work or not, if it doesn't get the numbers it doesn't have to run regardless of the event.  Once a quarter sounds good, so whatever events might fall into that space unless demand dictates more.
