Format
1) Entrants will be required to predict the Correct Score of the 48 group matches
2) Players will also nominate four teams from the competition in order of with their main fancy being the No 1 choice.
Scoring
In the group matches by predicting a correct score you are in effect forecasting 3 main outcomes;
- the actual result, whether or not both teams will score and if the game has under or over 2.5 goals.
Points will be awarded as follows for all of the 48 group matches;
3pts for the correct result of the game (1,X,2)
1pt for correctly predicting if both teams score (or not)
1pt for correctly predicting under or over 2.5 goals
1pt Bonus for every correct score predicted
Eg:
Prediction 2-1 - Actual result 3-0 = score 4pts (3pts for home win, 1pt for over 2.5)
Prediction 0-0 - Actual result 0-1 = score 2pts (1pt for under 2.5 goals, 1pt for BTTS No)
Prediction 3-1 - Actual result 4-2 = score 5pts (3pts for home win, 1pt over 2.5, 1pt BTTS)
Prediction 1-3 - Actual result 1-3 = score 6pts (3pts away win, 1pt over 2.5, 1pt BTTS, 1pt CS)
Knock Out Phase
5pts if any of your nominated teams win their group 5pts if any of your nominated teams win a Last 16 match 5pts if any of your nominated teams win a Last 8 match 5pts if any of your nominated teams win a Semi Final 5pts if any of your nominated teams wins the World Cup Bonus 5pts if your number 1 nominated team wins the World Cup
Any ties will be decided by how many Correct Scores predicted,
then how top 4 teams nominated performed.

STRICTLY no editing of posts containing tips, if you need to correct something do it in another post, any late edits will result in disqualification from the competition.

If a member selects more than one horse in the same post, it will be void (unless a reserve is stated).
A minimum of 15 bets is required to qualify for any prizes in that particular month, including qualification for the followings months KO Cup. (NR's at Abandoned meetings do not count towards bet total)
International races can be selected and early prices can be taken for them but If the international selection wins evidence must be provided in the form of a screen shot showing the selection, the price taken and the time the bet was placed.
Selections must run no later than the time of the last race in UK or Ireland.
Reserves will be allowed in case of doubts about original selection running.
All bets posted must be at least 5 mins before the race time (no exceptions) and include the Time, Course, Price and Selection.
Early prices can be taken but must be available at the time of the post in the competition thread (with a leeway of 10 minutes), these will be checked against Odds-checker and if the price was not available then SP will be used.

No Exchange Prices are allowed.
R4 5p and 10p will be waived for the purpose of the competition. If a R4 deduction takes the price less than the SP then the bet will revert to the SP. R4 will be taken from the William Hill results service.
No conditional bets or special offers by any bookmaker will apply to the competition.
On the final two days of the month anyone found posting a tactical selection (ie Copying) which gains an unfair advantage (whether that be to decide a prize winning opportunity or a Cup qualification place) will be penalised and that selection will be deemed a loser.
KO CUP Rules
Top 25 finishers from the NAPS Final table will qualify, minimum required bets will be needed which is 15
All players will play in Qualifying Round and top 8 scorers go forward to next round.
Pairings seeded from finishing position after qualifying, 1v8, 2v7 and so on.

Once in the head to head stages selections can not be changed once your opponent has posted.
