Selections for each meeting must be in by the start of the first race each day at the relevant meeting. Reserves are permitted, but must be for the same race as the original selection and whatever your ultimate selection is, if it is a non runner, the virtual stake is placed on the favourite for that race, however joint or co favourites will be settled accordingly. No alterations are permitted thereafter including the addition or changing of naps. NO EXCEPTIONS. Any player who fails to post selections for a meeting will be deemed to have selected the favourite in the first three races, with the NAP being the favourite in the first race.

A virtual £2 win bet will be placed on your nap at each meeting with a virtual £1 win bet on your other two selections. In the event naps are not nominated selections will all be settled on a £1 win basis.

Stake money will not be included in any returns, losing selections result in losing the virtual stake. For the purpose of this competition any Rule 4 deductions will be ignored.

Team members will represent England, Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Rest Of The World and team scores will be calculated each day from the aggregate scores of team members .The winning country will be the one achieving the highest profit or smallest loss over the five days.

An individual competition will run alongside the team competition using the same rules.
Individuals must play on all five days and make selections in all races to qualify for the individual competition. The top four players will score points towards the Summer Tipping Competition.

Any disputes my decision is final.

Tactics

Teams could opt to play strategically by nominating the races in which they want their individual players to make a selection so that all races are covered each day. However individuals who want to select their strongest fancies in the three races of their own choice may disagree.

Are you a team player or are you out for individual glory?

Had to switch Maruco to Wales to even up the numbers

Great start for Scotland as simmo tips up the 8-1 winner

No shows from Tanlic (Scotland) and Grey (Ireland) so under the rules their bets revert to the favourite and are also deemed their nap, being the favourite in the first race. The bad news was that there were five co favourites. :lol:

Bad start for England with three losing selections, two of which were naps.

Running totals

Scotland +£9.20

Ireland +£0.20

Wales -£1.00

England -£5.00

Diamond Geezer · Jul 26, 2016

Tanlic by default and archie keep the Scotland team going with the second winner at 6-4 fav, chroniclanlord, swedish chef and Grey (by default) score for the Irish

Running totals

Scotland +£12.20

Ireland +£2.70

Wales -£2.00

England -£6.00

Diamond Geezer · Jul 26, 2016

Plenty on that one, quite a few naps too, all teams in credit....just

Running Totals

Scotland +£14.70

Ireland +£8.45

England +£5.25

Wales +£0.50
