With tso unable to do one this year, I though I'd take over:

Rules
Pick one horse in every race.
If you pick a NR you can change it up to the start of the first race of the day
If you dont change a NR you will get the unnamed favourite

Any NR/Withdrawn after start of Race 1 will go on the unnamed favourite

5
Don't want to be a troublemaker but.........

I changed it Darren a couple or few comps back to save on admin and as fairness to those who were at work and unable to change during the afternoon.
KOC has just copied the rules from the previous comp.

I've sent tso a PM to try and sort it out (since he'll know the rules). I just copied and pasted the rules from the Cheltenham Comp.

Of course going forward whoever does one can bring back the change before a race rule although it makes a lot of work if theres carnage(like their was one time)

Oh well, had no idea. I, and I guess many others hence they also picked reserves, didn't know the rules had changed.

No problem, just wish I knew before hand. Think this is something most of us don't know. Had I known I would have picked reserves. I didn't as I knew I was in watching.

I am also guessing Kingofcakes didn't realise either hence he let us change horses today.
