I don't mind running another comp next year but I'd really like others to help with prize side of things. I've done my bit there.
Regarding scoring that's not a drama as I've basically formulated a program that takes care of all calculations. It just takes around 90 minutes each week of "copy & pasting", everybody's tips & results...so that's all taken care of
If somebody or others would like to manage & contribute with the running of the comp, then I'll do the hard bit...The scoring etc. Cheers.

Hi Steve, Thank you for all your hard work mate, I was just wondering what will be the format for this year, will it remain the same, or will money be involved. A huge thanks to Tony and crew is also warranted.

Hi Ron.
Regarding the format for weekly-point-scoring. We'll leave it like last year. Points from 1st to 4th placing.
Regarding prizes & or money.
I'll leave that up to the volunteers to decide.
I'm happy to go with the flow.
Cheers ;-)

Thx Jack Wayne & Peter. Much appreciated.
I'm very disappointed that nobody has volunteered to donate their time to help with the "Prize-Side" of things.
Anyway....I'm thinking the sooner this comp starts, the better.
As I've stated before....$50 a head to join would be encouraging.
Would need somebody (that can be trusted) to take care of this account.
A minimum of 60 starters for the comp to begin (last year we started with over 90).
Balls in your court.
Cheers, Steve.

I'll go $50. Would love to see some Irish stud keepers offer a straw or two.
Maybe data team could make a advertising banner to promote it a little and let everyone know everyone is welcome.

I think a prize monthly for the person with the most points in that single month would be a good idea. So at least if your doing bad in the first couple months it gives insentive to not drop out. We started with 90 and think ended with 70 or something last year.

Id like to make a suggestion , what if we paid $60 and $10 went to Steve for running the comp , I know he would be hesitant to accept but its a pretty big job with so many players . Id like to play this year and see how it is . Thanks Luke .
