Thanks everyone. That's correct. The comp just needs a little bit of tweaking to perfect any concerns. Let's put some to the sword & make them official. Could we please have a show of hands on the following.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
