Ferries please if not too late. Don't sign in except for Fridays to read rubbish (like someone other than Ferdies are going to win) and Saturday for picks.

Ferries have sailed but we'll take you back in the Ferdies buddy !! 👍

It's National Champs time again ! A chance for competitors to wear their regional identity proudly (or otherwise) and show us who really are the champs. Current title holders are the magnificent Kauri Kats who scored a decisive 3 point victory over the Hurricanes and Steelers 6 months ago. Just 7 points covered the beaten brigade after the Final Round so sure to be close again.

This version is the T20 of Super Comps - a 7 week quickfire league competition - no Finals Series, full intense involvement for everyone for 7 straight Saturdays. Standard Super Comp Format - 10 races, two tips per race, 2 best bets plus One Joker play across the 7 round.

There is one new addition to the comp. Each team will possess one opportunity to play The Black Adder. This card when played will-

1) If you win (the H-T-H), halve the points haul for that match for the opposing team.

2) If you lose, halve your own points haul for that match. If you fail to score points you will have a point deducted from your overall points tally. 

You can play The Black Adder once only but you must play it at some point.

This all kicks off on September 25th, Golden Rose Day and will run until November 6th - NZ 2000 Guineas, Mackinnon Stakes Day. 

What I need over the next week is expressions of interest. The will be a 7 day window for players from the Summer Comp to confirm their participation for the same team again. They should also advise if they wish to leave that side and go into the player pool or apply to play for another side. So when you enter please state your preference, either:

A Stay with your current team

B Leave your current team and go into the player pool or apply for a different team

C New players or past players who didn't participate in the Summer Champs can apply for a spot in a team or just be happy to go into the player pool and be assigned to a team.

Please state clearly what your preference is. If you are new, returning or not staying with your current team then you may list up to 3 preferences for who you wish to join. Looking for 40 participants across 8 teams.

Here are the teams from the Summer Comp:

BLUES: Pete, Gordy, Howie, Roland, Geoff
STEELERS: Von Smallhausen, Rees, Richie, Craig, Baby

KAURI KATS: Graeme, Pam, Sharne, Max, Jen

CHIEFS: Ian, Jack, Punter Pete, Stevie N, Gee

HURRICANES: Porky, Virgil, Hesi, John, The Crucible

TURBOS: Blind Squirrel, Ziggy, Gary, Ray, Steve P

 FERDIES: Maria, Maurice, PJ, Zac, Heather

CRUSADERS: Rob, Tom, Robert, Rex, Wrinkles

 

Hi Peter,

I wish to leave the Crusaders, and be part of the Bay of Plenty, Swamp Foxes.

Thanks.

Hi all, 

          I am back on deck finally.

          P J   I am in and it seems I am to be part of the Harness southern team if I am the REX mentioned (otago highlanders) If that does not eventuate then happy to stay as a Crusader.

Apologies to everyone .... I have had a poor run with my health the past six weeks .... hopefully I am over the worst of this.

Be safe one and all.

Glad to hear your on the mend Rex I always think of you and your health

Brown Fox said you were looking for extras so happy to put my name in as a reserve (Todamax from way back on the other site). Would be good to get back into it!

Looks like the Stags aren't around anymore so any team is fine.

Well well well Roger how are you?? Blast from the past, welcome back

Yes, that is 40, with the players in the current comp, still to indicate

Punter Pete

Porky

Plovdiv

Jason

Jason, I suspect will be otherwise occupied with his family, not sure about the other 3

Will leave it with you PJ to decide whether we call it at 40 or not

I'm in If needed and Sarah can throw a dart if numbers are needed. Just  disclaimer that captains may have to replace scratchings if required as boys are still not out of the woods heath wise but touch wood of late we been able to see the clearing ahead

Georgy Boy has told me he will make up numbers if required, but happy to step side for someone else.

He's more of a harness man, he saith, but I told him we're not interested in his sexual proclivities

MM

one of the best things about you, Foxy One is your recent form  the way you always laugh at Maxi's jokes.

Speaking of jokes, shall we play our Joker next week against the hapless and crazy horsies?

OK. let's do it!

Yeah Yeah. Unlucky I would have thought. Very narrow margins in this comp. Anyhow Max as I posted somewhere else, you have to get past ME for a 10 pointer . Good luck with that, the inertia I have generated will roll straight over the top , flatten, squash, mince, splat, crush, the truck cant be stopped 🚛😜
