We have our first finalist, on table three in the 'B' competition the Chaser has caught the Runner despite both players selecting a winner today, so it's well done to DaveG and hard luck to Perpetual. On the other table, the Runner Euronymous is now in a great position one place from home and the Chaser Roddy needs to find a winner on all three days to have any chance of catching his prey.

Meanwhile in the 'A' competition and on Table 2, the escape artist, otherwise known as BennyB ,has moved a step nearer safety again but needs a winner tomorrow in case his Chaser chroniclandlord finds one as well, and on Table One the Runner Latefortheraces found another winner to put himself in a great position needing one winner from three days to reach the final whilst bob rolf must select winners on all three days and hope Latefortheraces selects three losers.

I will post up the rules for Sunday's final tomorrow

The line up for the two finals is resolved with a couple of day to spare and one Runner and one Chaser have made it through in both competitions, so who will have which role on the last day ?

Both players selected losers today but FF have a representative in the final of the 'A' competition as the Runner Latefortheraces cannot be caught or have his number of winners beaten by the Chaser bob rolf. On the other table the Chaser chroniclandlord caught BennyB. Thanks to bob rolf who reached the fourth week whilst hardly going near a favourite and to BennyB who got through against the odds on occasions.


Well done too to Runner Euronymous on joining DaveG in the final of the 'B' competition on Sunday by recording his fourth winner in four days to reach HOME. So one Chaser and one Runner win through, who will have which role on the last day ? Well played Roddy, made it through to the fourth week, not bad for a NH afficionado :D

Rules for the finals on Sunday

1.The game is played on an area known as “the table” which has EIGHT rows. There are two players on each table, one Runner and one Chaser, The Runner starts play on Row 4 whilst The Chaser starts play behind the top of the table.

2.Each final lasts for a maximum of seven races. The Runner and The Chaser select one horse in each race at Longchamp on Sunday October 6th 2013. Taking each race in turn if The Runner’s selection wins, The Runner moves one place down the table whilst if The Chaser’s selection wins The Chaser moves TWO places down the table. Progress down the table will be by highlighted by the row(s) on the table turning green.

3.The aim of the game is for The Runner to reach “Home” by selecting four winners before being caught by The Chaser. However if The Chaser lands on the same row as The Runner (or beyond) before The Runner reaches “Home”, The Chaser is deemed the winner, also if both Runner and Chaser land on “Home”on the same race The Chaser is deemed the winner. In the event of a stalemate after seven races i.e The Runner has neither reached home or been caught by The Chaser the winner is determined by the most winners on the day or if there is still no winner the players are deemed joint winners of their competition.

4.No reserve selections are permitted but if the selection is a non runner and not changed by that player before 12.30, it will be replaced by the horse in that race with the lowest race card number unless it coincides with the opponent’s selection in which case it will be replaced with the next lowest race card number.

5.The Runner and The Chaser are not permitted to select the same horse in the same race and in the event this occurs the first player to select that horse has ownership .The other player’s selection, if not changed by that player before 12.30, will be replaced by the horse in that race with the lowest race card number which is not the selection of the other player. A link to the competition thread on the other forum will be provided to enable players to see if their opponent has made the same selection, there will be no need to register or log in on the other forum to see their thread.

6. No selections are permitted before 7PM Saturday evening, no exceptions.

7. Selections on Final Day itself must be made by 12.30PM , no exceptions as the first race is at 12.45


In the event a player fails to post their selections by 12.30PM, their opponent is deemed the winner.
