    TH National Hunt Cup

    TH National Hunt Cup (to start around 11th or 18th February)

    Going through some old posts and came across a competition instigated by Maxbet a few years ago which looked as if it was enjoyed by all so will recreate it. If you fancy having a go please register below. Ideally we could do with 32 players but I guess 16 is a more realistic number these days.

    The idea is to have a head to head knock out tipping contest played on a Saturday that culminates in the two finalists playing off against each other on the Saturday before the Festival.

    RULES

    Before the first week of the competition a full draw will be made.

    Each person drawn at home in the first round gets to choose the NH meeting of their choice (British or Irish) plus a back up meeting for their match on the Saturday (but must declare by midnight Thursday or lose home advantage and right to select which meeting). I will not issue reminders.If the home player posts but fails to post a back up meeting by midnight Thursday I will nominate it on their behalf.

    If both meetings are abandoned on the day, players can mutually agree to either play another meeting on Saturday or defer it to the Sunday with the home player retaining right of choice.

    In future rounds, persons scoring the most points in the previous week get home advantage against their opponent that weekend and choose the meeting which must be a NH meeting.

    Each competitor chooses one selection per race FROM THE FIRST SIX RACES, selections to be posted by start of first race. If a selection is a NR, no points are scored. If a player fails to post selections their opponent receives a walkover but their score will be taken into account when deciding home advantage in the next round.

    In the final over the four days of The Festival, the two players select from ALL races.

    Scoring is as follows

    5 points awarded for a winner, 3 points for a second, and 1 point for a third.

    In the case of a tie, the result will be decided by most winners, if still level by most seconds,if still level then by thirds, then if still level, competitors must replay the following day with the away player having home advantage and choosing the meeting.

    If for any reason competitors receive a bye, then in order to determine home advantage the following week, they must pick their selections at the same meeting as the tie producing the winner they will be up against, this should maintain interest for all and maximise involvement.

    Any disputes my decision is final

    Persons interested please sign up below ASAP.
