As I didn't specify a rule I've processed them a if they weren't (eg 2 dead heating for first = both winners). I just record them both as winners at the full odds. 2 dead heats we've had.
I was going to point that out. I watched it in the betting shop and I thought that the favourite had got up but the photo finish result took ages to come through on ‘Fast Results’ on my mobile. There was a guy in the betting shop that disputed his returns with the young staff so I had to explain to him that half his bet lost, which was why he did not get what he expected. In betting terms you get half your money at the full odds. Not sure what you want to do with ‘points’. Both horses finished first and second, so you could add the points together and half them – 25 points for each horse. Not sure what you do with the SP – strictly speaking 9/2 DH is 7/4 and 14/1 DH is 13/2.
Your revised scores FP. I won't re-publish the Leader Boards just yet in case there are any other queries
Can't be bothered with all that QM, given I didn't specify in the Rules. The Rules say 30 points for a first so, for example, two dead heating for first both get 30 points. Given the number of times it's likely to occur it's not worth automating for the eventuality. Obviously I could for next time if that's what everyone would prefer.
Well played steveo, pipped me on the last race with a dead heat winner. I feel like Lady Aurelia ............. consistent with the stories of the week I suppose
Roll of Honours for the Festival. Congratulations to all winners (whichever way you want to look at it ). Well played all and thanks again for participating
Oh, unlucky Oddy. However, if I run the comp again I will use the same simple Rules. There was also a dead heat for a 3rd place.
Cheers for running the comp Ron and well done Steveo for winning AGAIN (something like 4 out of the last 6 and I think you won 2 of your own
I echo all comments. Thanks Ron. Great comp mate. Well done Steveo mate. His handicap mark needs looking at Ron lol. Roll on the next comp
