    Royal Ascot 2018 Tipping Competition

    Rules


    One selection each day in each of the six races at Royal Ascot, Tuesday to Saturday inclusive, with one of your selections noted as your nap. Reserves can be nominated but must actually be named, no nominating “the favourite”. Any entry which includes “the favourite” will score zero points for the relevant race(s).

    Selections and any amendments via a separate post must be made by the start of the first race each day which is 2.30pm. NO EXCEPTIONS.

    Please check for non runners before placing your selections

    Point Scoring

    Winner = 12 points
    Second = 7 points
    Third = 3 points
    Fourth = 1 point

    Points are scored for first to fourth places regardless of the number of runners and regardless of whether the race is a handicap or not. In the event of a dead heat both horses will be awarded the full points for the relevant finishing position.



    Bonus points will be awarded as follows

    6/1 SP or bigger= Double Points
    12/1 SP or bigger= Triple Points
    20/1 SP or bigger= Quadruple Points
    33/1 SP or bigger= Points Multiple by Five
    66/1 SP or bigger= Points Multiple by Six


    PLUS

    One NAP per day earns double any points, including bonus points, scored by that selection.


    The person with the most points, including any bonus points, after the five days will be deemed the overall winner.

    In the event of a tie the winner will be decided by a points competition using the same rules based on a subsequent one day meeting mutually convenient for those involved.




    Any disputes my decision is final.


    In the event the forum is down, selections may be left on our Facebook page, can I recommend you bookmark it just in case. https://www.facebook.com/talkinghorses.co.uk/?fref=ts


    Or alternatively via email to thediamondgeezer@virginmedia.com





    A few guidelines.


    It is not necessarily an advantage to select shorter priced horses. For instance consider this scenario


    1st @ Evens= 12pts

    2nd @ 11-1 = 14pts

    3rd @ 33-1 = 15pts

    Remember any of these points would be doubled if selected as your NAP.

    If you forget to nominate a NAP you lose the opportunity of doubling the points that selection otherwise earns.


    You do not have to play every day, but it obviously increases your chances of winning to do so. A player on another forum once won one of these competitions despite missing a day.


    If you are away all week, or need to post more than one day’s entries at a time, please post each day’s selections as a separate posting.

    Pluralism of Ideas and the prosperity of any land are intertwined. Freedom of minds and skill of intellect to 'think the unthinkable' is how humanity has progressed; when minds are incarcerated nothing endures.
