Hi all
What would the appetite be for a Dublin Racing Festival competition in the same manner as Cheltenham/Aintree etc ones?
It's only 2 days - over Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th February - and the racecards are packed with properly good races, no crap fillers.
Would be a nice little warm up for us, doing the picks and me doing the scoring, ahead of the 4 days of Cheltenham in mid March
Cheers. If no takers I'll just get this thread deleted but would be nice if we get this going so please/like this post if so.

Re: Dublin Racing Festival (DRF) - tipping competition!
Welcome
Rules as follows for any newcomers...
Give selections for each race on each one of the 2 days....eg. Post your Sat picks on Sat morning, Sun picks on Sun morning etc.............or anytime before that days racing, as some people need to post their picks the night before.
Points scoring.......10 for winner, 5 for a second and 3 for a third. A dead heat will be disregarded and full points awarded for whatever place it may be..............Also to have an added dimension there will be extra points for every winner at 4-1 or better, this is to reward better priced winners. So the extra points would be scored as follows
A winner between 4/1 and 4.99/1 would get an extra 4 points
A winner between 5/1 and 5.99/1 would get an extra 5 points etc............
This would continue up the scale capped at 33/1, so for example a 33/1 winner would get an extra 33 points, 50/1 would also get 33 bonus points. The SP will be how this is calculated.
Non Runners will automatically go onto the favourite..........if more than one favourite it will be the horse nearest the top of the racecard.
If you PM me with a replacement for your non-runner, it will count as long as I receive the PM before the race time AND you post it in the thread so other people know
!! Please give a NAP, for inexperienced players this means the one of your selections which you think is mostly likely to win, just put (nap) after the horses name, if it wins it will double your score from 10 to 20 but the SP points will NOT be doubled.
Entries will only be included if posted before "the off" of the first race on that particular day.
Good luck to everyone!

Re: Dublin Racing Festival (DRF) - tipping competition!
For people who fancy doing it but aren't sure what the Dublin Racing Festival is, it's just the next 2 days of action from Leopardstown, on Saturday and Sunday, so this comp will be more short & sweet than the norm.
Racecards can be found here. Good luck all!
