    Regardless of who is running a competition this year, could you please post below your intention to take part

    In case it turns out to be me running it, what type of competition is preferred:
    (a) betting competition
    (b) points competition

    If Betting competition would this be
    (i) selective singles only (win or ew)
    (ii) bet on every race singles only (win or ew)
    (iii) any type of bet accepted

    If points would this be 1 or 2 horses per race (ie SA style)

    If anyone else volunteers I'll be happy with whatever they run.

    Comments before 4pm please

    Thanks
    Ron

    You beat me to it Ron, was going to ask the same. I'm in which ever way it goes and I don't mind running with it either if it helps.

    I am in. Selective singles betting bank always the purest result in my book.

    The easiest to administer is as stick suggests (ie single bets only, bet as much as you like, within available funds, on whichever races you want.
    Cheers Mick. I have something similar to above that I knocked up for the Facebook trial so could do that. If you have something ready to go I'm happy to run with yours. You can toss a coin if you like <laugh>

    Looking forward to this! I'm easy with the format, as long as it isn't putting too much on the organiser.

    Easy for me to say as I haven't volunteered to administer (I promise I will when I retire).
    Betting Bank £1000 each day which all has to be used on single bets.
    Balances on each day carried over to the next.
    SP only. Win or EW. No Tote. No ****er bets etc etc.
