It seems ludicrous for us not to have a go at a free Fantasy Jumps competition on not606 so I invite you all to enter and we will have our own mini league. Have a read, make sense of it, and get a stable entered. It will give us some fun over the winter I am sure, without the need to stake a bet. League Name: Not606 Racing PIN 10128 Stable Stars Game - Start to finish Competition period: Friday, 11th November 2016 to Saturday 29th April 2017. Points Scoring begins: First race on Friday 11th November, 2016. Entries Open – Thursday, 20th October 2016 Entries Close – 9pm on 21st April, 2017. Setting up your Stable Players must create their own team/stable name upon submitting an entry. A stable will comprise of 10 horses, 2 Elite Selections and 8 Main Selections and one horse will have to be selected as the “Stable Star”. Stables set up after Friday, 13th November, will not be eligible to win points in the first Game week. Once the game has begun (11/11/16), 10-horse stables can only be created between 12.01am Monday and 9pm Friday each week. Stables set up in a defined “Game Week” will only be eligible to start winning points in the following “Game Week”. Each “Game Week” runs from 12am Saturday to 11.59pm Friday, e.g. a stable set up on Tuesday, 15th November, can only start winning points from the following Saturday, 19/11/16 (for Game Week 2 onwards). **Stable Star** Players must nominate one horse to be their “Stable Star” each week. A horse must be selected as “stable star” upon submitting entry, which can be changed each week (if not changed, then that same horse remains the “Stable Star”). Each player’s Stable Star scores double points for winning a race in that week (or finishing 2nd or 3rd in a bonus race). Calculating scores Horses winning National Hunt races under the Rules of Racing (hurdles, chases and NH flat races) in Great Britain or Ireland will receive a number of points for each win. The number of points gained for each win is determined by the total amount of prize money the winning horse receives (as listed below): Non-Bonus Races Race value Points Race worth £30,000/€33,500 or higher to winner 30 Race worth £25,000 to £29,999 (€28,000 to €33,499) to winner 25 Race worth £20,000 to £24,999 (€22,500 to €27,999) to winner 20 Race worth £15,000 to £19,999 (€17,000 to €22,499) to winner 15 Race worth £10,000 to £14,999 (€11,500 to €16,999) to winner 12 Race worth less than £10,000/€11,499 to winner 10 In the event of a dead-heat, points will be divided by the number of horses dead-heating with fractions rounded down. No points for a walkover. The official result on the day will be used for the calculation of points with any subsequent disqualifications disregarded. Stable Star A player’s Stable Star scores double points for winning a race in that week. So if a player’s Stable Star, for example, was to win two races worth less than £10K that week (10pt score for winning each race), that player would receive 40pts instead of 20pts for those 2 wins. Bonus Races There will be a list of bonus races throughout the NH season, in which points can be earned for selecting the 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Players gain 50pts for selecting the winner of a bonus race, 25pts for second and 15pts for third. All horse that score points in bonus races will count as winners on the leaderboard. Click here to view the list of Bonus Races. In the event of a dead-heat, points will be divided by the number of horses dead-heating with fractions rounded down. No points for a walkover. The official result on the day will be used for the calculation of points with any subsequent disqualifications disregarded. Prizes There is a £8,000 cash top prize for the player who finishes the Stable Stars Game on the highest points total. There will be also be prizes for the 2nd to 10th places in the Overall Game, the top points scorer in the months of December, January, February, March & April, details of which can be found on the Prizes Page – Click here to view all prizes on offer. Transfers Players are permitted one transfer from the Main Selections List each Game Week, transfer window is open from 12.01am Monday to 9pm on Friday (please note that a transfer only affects your stable for the following game week and does not take immediate effect). Players are permitted one Elite transfer each calendar month. The month in which the transfer is deemed to have been made is determined by the date of the Saturday on which the horse is added to the stable. The transfer is deemed to be made in the month in which that specific Saturday falls. e.g. if a player decides to make an Elite Transfer on Monday, 28th November, the Elite Selection will be transferred into his/her stable on Saturday, 3th December, so this will count as that player's one Elite Transfer for December.

Nice one Toppy. Far too complicated for me but I shall watch progress with interest. Good luck to all who have a go.
It's quite easy lads really. Just log on and get yourself in there. It's a small bit like fantasy football if you've ever played that.
**** me lads, complicated? What you mean is you can't be arsed to read. It takes about 2 minutes. Step 1 - Register Step 2 - Create your stable (Name your stable and select your silks) Step 3 - Pick your team Select 10 horses for your stable, 2 from the Elite list and 8 from the Main list Step 4 - Choose your star Select your Stable Star, any points your stable stars earns will be doubled (x2). You can change your Stable Star selection each week. Step 5 - Transfers Players are permitted one Elite Transfer each month and one Main Transfer each week (Transfer window open from 12.01am Monday to 9pm Friday each week). (You can do a transfer to make sure you have a horse that runs that week so that you have a chance to score points, instead of waiting weeks on end for one of your selections to run) DONE. I've taken the time to put it out as easy as this with all the links- why not have a pop at it for free? It's a chance to follow without betting. No risk.
toppy, I just have trouble trying to keep up with daily racing never mind playing fantasy trainer - ensuring you've got entries , who's in form , the weather , dealing with feed merchants and booking jockeys ............but great for those with time on their hands ...
Just pick 10 horses rudebwoy. You don't have to ever log in again for the season if you wish no to and you can still score. It's takes 5 minutes to register and pick and about 1 minute each week to keep it updated! You won't exactly need to be taking sick days to follow
I ran the office Fantasy Football for years, doing the original one where you picked a team then stuck with it for the season. It was boring, but players didn't have to do anything after the initial stage. Then I introduced a "change your team completely, week, by, week system" It was hated, by all except a dedicated few. Most people can't be arsed, but that's human nature I guess. I'll enter a team tomorrow Toppy, but can't guarantee I'll be changing it every week/month. Unless I get off to a flyer in the first week that is
I'm barely past tossing darts at a race sheet, so this is past me. But like Ron, all the best to those who have a crack. I fear I'd only bring down the average anyway. Go the home team.
Well I should be, but I can't seem to find anyone listed in the league! We'll figure it out I am sure.
