PS.... GREAT ROLL-UP - 40 members ;-)

Yeah Missed the first two weeks But it all good some fun.

Ron and myself picked the 2 in Race 6 who was scratched late.

You get the 'Average score' Sandro...It happened last week with Trent which wasn't a bad outcome considering.

Maybe we could have a debate on 'Late Scratching' next week as it's only early days.

It's Saturday night & I'm on the turps so not a good time now....Buurrrppp ;-)

(edit admin)

I'd be doing a lot better.......

I agree with late scratchings getting the average
score, but not those that don't put their selections in.

With you there on that one Tony. You do the right thing and pick
R6 B1 tote and get back 4.20. or just dont put your tips in and get. 6.20 and the way I am going I may as well not put a tip in BUT that is not in the right spirit I think.
BUT I am not running it and Steve is doing a real good. just my opinion thats all it is.

In my case Peter my selection was unplaced so I got zero.
Others that didn't put their selections in got 6.20.
How does that make sense?

Those that don't put their selections in should get -1.00, not be rewarded for their neglect.

My reasoning is because the scratching was through no fault of your own and you are not afforded a new tip because of the closing time of the competition

Therefore, by right, you have been denied a chance to pick the winner and therefore being unfairly penalized.

It's only right you should be given a replacement with a decent winning chance, usually the tote or fixed odds favourite

Late scratching's don't happen that often and therefore its not hard to manage

Those that don't put their tips in should not get the average score either. That's a cop out in my opinion and giving them too much of a benefit

They should get the lowest score above zero for that week

Anyway, that is my 20c worth

Oh for sure Ron, Steve has done a terrific job in getting it up and running and simplifying the recording of points etc, it just needs a bit of tweaking before we get too far into the competition

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Late Scratching Rule

If there's a late scratching, I'll give the PUNTERS 2 choices since we're now living in the 21 century & have everything at our fingertips.

Choice 1. Should a "Late Scratching occur" regarding you selection, that member will have the opportunity to "Re-Enter" a new choice...PROVIDED
(a). Your original selection has not raced &
(b). Your new selection has been officially lodged "5 MINUTES" before the newly selected race (if required) is about to start (Yes you can choose a different race provided it to has not been conducted).

Choice 2. If the option above has not been exercised, the individual involved will be automatically awarded the "Favourite" of that race. The "Favourite" is clearly stated on the TAB.com.au site under - "Substitute", under the race of interest ---> EXTERNAL LINK

"Tote" points will be awarded in both cases.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regarding the "Forget to place your tip" rule.... I can understand why people are getting a bit raffled for reasons already expressed, so I'm more than happy to edit this rule (as I've already suggested before).

As stated previously by myself, I wanted this rule implemented due to the fact people from previously run competitions had lost interest, due to receiving no points after failing to lodge their TIPS on time. Lets face it, we're not perfect & mistakes happen so I wanted to created a 2nd second option rather than lose that participant(s) from the competition for a couple of minors. I believe there's merit in this concept.

Anyway...Could you all decide which "1" of the following 2 choices, would be more acceptable.

1. LIMIT the "2nd Chance Forget" rule [Average Score for that week awarded] to just 2 for each player through out the year.
Or
2. Limit the "2nd Change Forget" rule [Award the lowest score above zero for that week] to just 4 for each player through out the year (Results from the first 3 weeks have all resulted in 3 points being awarded).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I personally like - Forgot rule - 1 ....but happy with either.
