Welcome @Barnes1882

Just put your selection in the daily thread - e.g. "Naps - Saturday March 20th"

Monthly Naps Competition Rules 

• If you are a new member or just want to enter for the first time, simply post in the Daily NAPS thread for that day and you'll be included.
• The competition will be run each calendar month.
• The winner will be the tipster with the most accumulated profit over the month.
• Top 25 qualifiers will be automatically entered in the following months KO Cup.
•  If totals are level for any prizes the amount of winners selected takes precedence. (then amount of bets placed)
•  1pt win or 0.50pts EW each day allowed. (Losses will be incurred for losers)(Win bet taken if not specified)
• 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.
• 1 bet per day, Max. If a member posts twice the latest one will count towards 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)
• Any race can be selected as long as it is covered by the Racing Post / ATR.
• For races in Hong Kong where there is no SP we will use the Dividend price published in the Racing Post and for EW bets we will use William Hill Industry price on their results service.
•  As of May 1st 2020, bets will count for the day the meeting started, regardless of the race time but all selections must be posted on the forum on the actual day of the competition. (this satisfies the 1 bet per day rule)
•  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, these will be checked and if the price was not available SP will be used.
• Bookies allowed:
  Bet365, BetVictor, PaddyPower, Betfair, William Hill, Betfred (All BOG for competition purposes)
• Prices can't be changed once posted and must be in the original post, the first price taken is the only one that will count, all edits can be seen by moderators.
• Any bets with no price quoted or eligible bookmaker stated will be taken at SP.
• 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.
• 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.
• SP Bets only for races in USA, Hong Kong and Australia.
• *Bookies updated Feb 2020.

Thank you very much, will have a look and post my selection. Looking forward to getting started.

May I ask if you know about the football Competition as well please? Would also like to get involved in that. 

Thanks again.

I don't know much about football (I support Sheffield Wednesday) but I'm sure somebody will respond.
