National Hunt Order Of Merit Challenge 2017/18
The comp will run through approx 200 Class 1 races (NH Flat Races Omitted) and will be scored as follows:
All Class 1 Grades inc Listed Hurdles/Chases
Points Scored
Winners = 25pts
All 2nd/3rd/4th/5th Places = 10pts
Bonus points will be issued via SPs(Rounded up to nearest whole number)
Winners attract 5 x SP points.
2nd's attract 3 x SP points.(Races that have 5 or more runners only)
3rd's attract 2 x SP points.(Races that have 8 or more runners only)
4th's attract 1 x SP points.(Races that have 16 or more runners only)
5th's attract 1 x SP points.(Races that have 20 or more runners only)
Non-Runners unless replaced will collect you points as per SP Fav (Jt Favs Lowest Racecard No).
Each member gets a maximum of 10 Jokers (Settled on the SP Fav) throughout the competition when unable or forgetting to post.
Throughout the races each member entering is required to place a £1 E/W or £2 Win bet on any 25 selections of your choice(From your 200ish entries during the comp). You can do these whenever you want but the bet is to be put up alongside your selection for the corresponding race with any price you may have taken etc.
Any winnings from your bets throughout the competition are to be forwarded to the pot which will be held by myself as per usual including the stake return. This way everyone donates the same amount to enter but no pain is felt as can be spread over the 200ish races or you may choose to use all your bets at Cheltenham or even the 1st 20 races to get it over with. My thinking is we can all afford a £2 bet every Saturday or something so this shouldn't be too much to ask.
The Leaderboard will show how many bets have been placed so we know where we are.
I will endeavor to ensure the race threads are up 48 hours prior to each race to assist in bet placing etc and will send out reminder PM's too.
I will add a thread ASAP showing the races and their dates etc to assist you all in knowing when you will be required to post etc.
