TRIPLE LIFE

You start with 3 lives. Pick a loser and you lose a life. Once all 3 lives are lost, you won't be able to select any more horses, but your total level stake profit will stand until the end of the game.

Pick 2 'consecutive' winners and you get all your 3 lives back.

Whoever has the highest '1 point level stake profit' when everyone is out of lives is deemed the winner.

CONDITIONS

UK and Irish horse racing only.

Winning selections must be 3/1+ SP or the selection is void. All losing selections lose a life.

All selections settled at SP but there will be no R4 deductions.

All selections to be posted a minimum of 15 minutes before the advertised off time.

No EW selections. 1 point win only.

No need to select everyday, though the last day of the competition will be 14/12/13 or when everyone has lost all their lives, whichever comes first.


PRIZE FOR 1ST PLACE

From the day after the competition ends until 22/12/13, the winner will have 10 x £10 free bets to place as they wish, with all returns going to a registered charity of their choice.

Nope. A loser at 11/4 or lower and you lose a life. A winner at 11/4 or lower and it's void. I think it best that way to discourage people from picking 9/4 Fav's in the hope of a drift. Apologies for the poor wording, I'll alter it.

Yes, if you like. Think of your lives as 1 point betting tokens.

3 losers and you're out though, unless you get 2 consecutive winners at 3/1+. So patience is perhaps key. ;)
 
I didn't think about that. :) 15 minutes before the advertised off time would seem fair to me. I'll amend the rules in the first post.

Ideally it would be that you can take an EP to avoid all this, but that would involve too much extra work checking the previous EP's and times etc when marking up the results.

Doomster loses the first life I notice, and is now on the hunt for two in a row.

I think I'm going to have to start this again and allow people to take a price, which also means including R4 deductions. Not something I want to do, but I don't see another way how this can work.

Digger, I doubt you've noticed the recent rule addition, otherwise it would be unlikely you'd be putting that selection forward.

Is everyone OK if we start over? I'll also need a Mod to remove this thread.

Actually forget that, or I'll have to be sniffing out the time of withdrawals and all sorts. I wouldn't know where to look for that, and I just can't be bothered either. I hope it drifts for you Digger. if you wish to change your mind, you've got until race time.

I'll PM everyone in the comp to inform them of the rule additions from yesterday.

This has become a pain in the arse. I thought I'd thought it through, obviously not.
 
....and it just keeps getting worse. I can't PM more than one at a time, and I have to wait a minute between doing each one.

PLEASE READ THE RULE CHANGE IN THE FIRST POST!
