FLAT TURF HANDICAPPER 2009

COMPETITION RULES

1. HORSE SELECTION
Select ONE horse from the featured race in the OFFICIAL RACE THREAD.

A player can choose the favourite by simply posting FAVOURITE (if JF's the horse with the lowest racecard number will be the selection).

2. NAP SELECTIONS
A player can NAP a maximum of 4 selections in the 30 FEATURED RACES.

Please post NAP alongside the selection in the OFFICIAL RACE THREAD.

3. CHANGING SELECTIONS & EDITING POSTS
A player CAN edit entries to change selections, replace NON RUNNERS or to add a NAP.

Please note that if the edit time is after the entry deadline the post is void and the player will score 0 points for the race.

4. POSTS WITH NON-RUNNERS
If an entry contains a NR, it will be replaced with the FAVOURITE, or if JF's the horse with the lowest racecard number. If a NAP becomes a non-runner, then the alternative selection becomes the NAP.

5. ENTRY DEADLINE
The entry deadline will be posted on the OFFICIAL RACE THREAD.

If an entry is posted after the entry deadline it will be void and a default entry given to that player (see 6).

A player can EDIT their selections but the time of the edit must not be later than the entry deadline.

Any entry with an edit time after the deadline will score 0 points.

6. DEFAULT ENTRY
If no entry is received a player will be given the FAVOURITE, or if JF's the horse with the lowest racecard number.

NOTE - A maximum of 4 default entries is permitted per player.
