Plate Rule changes confirmed

New scoring system to replace the rather simplictic 5,2,1 system applied before is as follows:

1 runner - nil
2-4 runners - 2,0,0,0
5-7 runners - 3,1,0,0
8-15 runners - 5,2,1,0
16+ runners - 10,5,2,1

Our tests applied to the last 40 or so bets of the last comp show that basically the same people would win (maybe Jed would have pipped Gary D) but everything would be much closer as we would severly cut back all the points scored by winners in small races making it very worthwhile to pick a winner in a big handicap.

the idea is to keep the interest in the plate lasting much longer

  1. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.

    I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a
    bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog. A fantastic read.
    I will certainly be back.
