 Re: Daily Racing Comp Rules
As you mentioned Kev the problem of meetings being abandoned and non-runners is the main area where the rules need tightening up. Today is really a classic example of this where Catterick has already gone and there are non-runners all over the shop. However I think it could be difficult and confusing to come up with some rule stating when and when you can't post additional selections due to Non-runners etc. Such a rule would also add to the workload of the mods / scorers etc in my opinion. So it might be an idea to make the competition a little more flexible with regards posting additional selections and allow anyone to re-do their ENTIRE selections FOR ANY REASON providing the new post still meets the timing criteria / number of selections etc. It is understood by all concerned that this new post completely supercedes the original one and that no cross referencing between the two posts will be made by the scorers. As such the new post will have to contain ALL the selections that the tipster has an interest in. This will minimise the work for the mods / scorers since all they'll have to do is start from the end of the thread and work backwards until they come to the 1st post for that tipster. They'll then know that's the post that contains the tipster's definitive statement.
Just my tuppeny's worth. I'm sure others will have different ideas / opinions. |
