    GWID Competition ( Dublin Racing Festival Leopardstown Sat 2nd / Sun 3rd February)

    Rules


    One selection each day in each race at the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown, 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 12.50 Saturday and 12.40 Sunday. 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 across both days, including any bonus points, will be deemed the overall winner.


    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 both days, but it obviously increases your chances of winning to do so.

    If you are away all week, or need to post both day’s entries early for any other reason, please post each day’s selections as a separate posting.

    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
