    I'll take one for the team too. <laugh>

    Just a thought, are we just looking at just an overall winner, or can we incorporate some kind of team contest as well?

    We've equalised
    I was just thinking that Cyc. I would have to take the average score probably if one team ends up with more players, or I could just take the top 6 (say) from each team, or drop out the bottom 6 from each team. Something like that (or all 3 <laugh>). If we should end up with loads of entries, we could have more than one team (eg if FJ have 11 entries and we have 33, we could split into 3 teams; team A, team B and team C). We'll see what the entries are like and decide then.

    It would be rude not too - I'm in.

    As a counter proposal and if the captain orders it, I'm willing to become a fifth columnist, join FJ's and put in some duff selections!

    What do you mean, ALL my selections are duff??? <laugh>

    On the format front, I'd advise keeping it as simple as possible, therefore single bets only. And no splitting of camps, they are them and we is us!!

    I am a member of Fatjockey. I'm now expecting a lot of requests to play for them. From not606 that is <laugh>

    They are dropping like flies. 3 out already as they will be at Cheltenham. Apparently they aren't allowed to play away from home. <whistle>

    Fatjockey entrants so far. Beginning to look more like the actual Cheltenham entries. All withdrawals are due to being at Cheltenham

    Awww bless :) Shall we sing, shall we sing, shall we sing a song for you?

    Looks like we have nothing to beat then. I had a look over there, they seem to be in the main, jackpot chasers, with accas looming large in their studies.
    Good luck with that lads :)

    Just because we had a bit of fun with some yankee's doesn't mean we don't know what we're doing Reebok :emoticon-0110-tongu

    You have better emoji's to pick from, I'll give you that :cheesy:

    So that's 15 Fatjockey and 21 not606
    I think I'll run it as an individual contest but will also the take the 10 best performers from each team to get a team result. Any other ideas?

    With this approach we can take late entrants right up to 15 mins before the first race
