You could always just continue like this - all in and if a player forgets, pulls out or has problems like HORSEWHISPERER, you just get zero (+ illness: I have heavy duty chemo some Fridays & Saturdays can be a write off). Cumulate scores, then set up finals between top tipsters during the Spring Carnival. It's a thankless job for you but I really appreciate your effort and vigilance.

This is what I'm going to do. Much like what Foxseal said actually.

We'll just forget about the head to head competition until we get to the finals. We'll all be competing against everyone else each week until the end of October, then the top 8 tipsters will go to the finals. It's a bit disappointing because the head to head competition is fun, but it's pretty tough these days to get all 16 tipsters tipping on the one weekend. And believe me, I know about the computer problems. I've had trouble with that lately too.

So, anybody who didn't tip on the weekend can join in next week on zero (exactly the same score as me ). And it doesn't matter if you weren't one of the original 16 people who signed up for the comp. If you missed out originally, you're welcome to join in now if you want.

Here's the table as it stands at the moment:

1 - 328 . aidleo
2 - 199 . foxseal
3 - 196 . Sirpent
4 - 182 . luv2bet
5 - 172 . Maverick1993
6 - 140 . Goldcoaster
7 - 118 . TheSchmile
8 - 95 . Raw Instinct
-----
9 - 70 . Pedro
10 - 0 . nags2riches
11 - 0 . Sportz

Thats a shame Sportz, it makes the comp just like a million others around the place. The one on one aspect of the comp is what made it so unique.
Can't you just penalise "no shows" 2 points and disqualify them if they miss to many.
Thursday you do the draw , that give tipsters over 2 days to list them , Heaps of time.

I'd get confirmation again from last weeks no shows and see if they are serious , you only need another one or 3 would be better..

Chucks a regular and william has been around here for donks and HW is reliable as well. its probably just 1st week teething probs..

Yeah, I know. Never mind.

We'll go along like this for now and just see what happens. As it stands, we will still have head to head contests for the finals. BUT, if it looks like we have the numbers available to do it, then I could still find some way to re-introduce the head to head aspect earlier than the finals.

It was very disheartening on the weekend to put all the work in, and then have only 10 out of 16 tipsters come on to post tips.

Week 2: August 14

Okay, after last week's disaster, I'm going to continue on for the time being without the head to head aspect of the comp. BUT if we end up getting enough tipsters tipping each week, then I will reintroduce the one on one tipping at the end of the month. So it's important that everyone remembers to tip this week. And don't think that it's not important. Even if we revert to head to head tipping next month, these scores you make now will still be important to your overall position.

Anyway, with no head to head tipping, there's no need to worry about what anyone else has picked this week. Just pick the horses that you like, whether someone else has already picked them or not.

You do still have to make a selection in the feature race of the week though.....

CAUL R6 - 3.20 J.J. LISTON STAKES
1 SHOCKING
2 ZAVITE
3 HEART OF DREAMS
4 C'EST LA GUERRE
5 VIGOR
6 PREDATORY PRICER
7 MOURAYAN
8 STERLING PRINCE
9 APPREHEND
10 SO YOU THINK
11 SHOOT OUT
12 MONACO CONSUL
13 CARRARA
14 SHAMOLINE WARRIOR
15 TOLLESPRIT

Tipping deadline is 2:50 Saturday afternoon AEST.
