I will be running an easy to enter point scoring competition for Royal Ascot, just select one horse per race each day and make one of them your nap and leave the rest to me. Full rules to follow next weekend.

Currently we have a most generous offer of £50 from Perpetual of TH and a £20 free bet from Ray H of FF which as it stands will be used as first and second prizes however further donations would be gratefully received and could be potentially used as prizes for the daily winners.
 
Nice one, D.G !
Big appreciation also to Perpetual and Ray for their very generous gestures.
 
Rules

The competition is open to members of the Talking Horses and Final Furlong forums. Daily entries can be made on either forum.

One selection each day in each race at Royal Ascot, Tuesday to Saturday, with one of your selections noted as your nap. Selections must be in by start of first race each day.
Reserves can be nominated but must actually be named, no nominating “the favourite”.

Please check here for non runners before placing your selections

Points Scoring

Winner = 12 points
Second = 7 points
Third = 3 points
Fourth = 1 point

Points are scored for first to fourth places regardless of the number of runners and regardless of whether the race is a handicap or not. In the event of a dead heat both horses will be awarded the full points for the relevant finishing position.

Bonus points will be awarded as follows

6/1 SP or bigger= Double Points
12/1 SP or bigger= Triple Points
20/1 SP or bigger= Quadruple Points
33/1 SP or bigger= Points Multiple by Five
66/1 SP or bigger= Points Multiple by Six

PLUS

One NAP per day earns double any points, including bonus points, scored by that selection.

The person with the most points, including any bonus points, after the five days will be deemed the overall winner.

In the event of a tie the winner will be decided by a points competition using the same rules based on a subsequent one day meeting mutually convenient for those involved.

The winner will receive £50 donated by Perpetual of TH

The runner up will receive a free £20 bet donated by Ray H of FF.

Any disputes my decision is final.










A few guidelines.


It is not necessarily an advantage to select shorter priced horses. For instance consider this scenario


1st @ 5-1 = 12pts

2nd @ 11-1 = 14pts

3rd @ 33-1 = 15pts

Remember any of these points would be doubled if selected as your NAP.

If you forget to nominate a NAP you lose the opportunity of doubling the points that selection otherwise earns.


You do not have to play every day, but it obviously increases your chances of winning to do so although it has been known for someone to win one of these competitions despite missing a day.

If you are away all week, or need to post more than one day’s entries at a time, please post each day’s selections as a separate posting.
 
Nice competition, I'll hopefully have time each day to post selections. Thanks to Perpetual and Ray H. Very generous.

The best of luck with the competition, DG, and to all who take part. Unfortunately I'm on the road this week and won't be able to get stuck in. I'd be on to get something going for Galway/Goodwood week and/or the so-called 'Summer Naps' competition we did last year.
