GRAND NATIONAL MEETING 2022 - Tipping Competition

[CRFC Hammer]

Unless r99c has a Jeff Stelling moment and changes his mind about retiring from running the tipping competition, I'll take over the reins, starting with this week's Grand National meeting unless any other brave soul wants to do it.

nice one mate

[nt_hammer]

Fantastic stuff, many thanks CRFC.

[S-H]

Hell yeah!

[CRFC Hammer]

I now declare the 2022 Grand National Meeting tipping competition open.

All the regulars know the rules but for any newcomers....

Give selections for each race on each one of the 3 days....eg. Post your Thurs picks on Thurs morning, Fri picks on Fri 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, so for example a 33/1 winner would get an extra 33 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.
If you fail to give a NAP, you will lose it!

Entries will only be included if posted before "the off" of the first race on that particular day.

I will try to post the results each evening but it may not quite be up to usual standard.

Good luck to everyone!

Thanks for picking up the reigns on this. I've always enjoyed these competitions and glad they'll carry on - and thanks to rc99 for all his work over the years.

I don't follow jump racing at all so this is entirely down to a quick skim of the racing post this morning but someone needs to make up the numbers!

Think Pied Piper is gonna lose this in the stewards room.

Edit: He does lose it, places revised. The stewards completely ignored both jockeys and made their own minds up. Terrible decision and racing doesn’t help itself sometimes!

[CRFC Hammer]
