Following on from the Jumps comp the Flat racing comp gets underway this weekend

Looking at the next few weeks it looks like we'll mainly be in Ireland but I'll put UK races up when there's anything half decent

(I've decided to drop the Bank Holiday races as I think one day a week is enough !)

The comp will run to the end of October, depending on how the fixtures fall. The first Aintree jumps meeting is on October 27th and I'd like to start the Jumps comp for that. So provisionally the Flat comp will run to October 20th


Rules

Races will be chosen on Sundays from the UK and Ireland (and the Arc from France as well)

Generally it will be the best race of the day subject to a reasonable field size.

Scoring format:

1st place - 10
2nd place in races of 5 runners or more - 5
3rd place in races of 8 runners or more - 2
4th place in handicaps of 16 runners or more - 1

If tied on points then 'the most winners' will decide table positions. If one or more are tied on points and 'most winners' at the end of the competition I'll have a tie-break race


Non Runners and Missed Weeks

I've decided to do away with the penalties for missing races. Unlike the Saturday comp there's no advantage to be gained by not posting a selection. I'm mindful that we might have a lot of races over Christmas and New Year when some people are not around.

I'm also not going to substitute for non runners automatically. A non runner will just count as a missed week unless the poster posts a replacement selection before the 'off' time. Posters who post their selections early might like to post reserves. Any reserves will be taken in order in the event of several non runners

There are 2 Guineas trials and a Derby trial at Leopardstown on Sunday so I'll pick one of those depending on number of runners

I'm expecting the declarations to come out Friday lunchtime !
