Anyway, I don't think it is going to happen. A site like Racecafe with almost 100 times more members than this site, appears afraid, that in doing so this site might get a bit of exposure, and therefore we might gain a few new members. That might happen, so what, we might gain 10-20 new members, we will still be 100 times smaller. The whole purpose in putting this forward, was to try and get the sites to have a bit of synergy and work together, this was Pete's hope(I think). We have things that RC does not have, like a good punting section, a punters club and good comps, run by several people other than just PJ. We don't have the industry depth of discussion, so if you want that you pop over to RC. Anyway, hope springs eternal I should point out that this proposed comp was never my idea.

The select few who would be under much more pressure to perform as they are Repping for their homeland , so probably only a few (like Max) that would be up to challenge with-out flinching. A few players just go round for a bit of fun in these comps. Think you would need some fierce competitive types to take up the banner. Anyway well done PJ and JohnSayNoMore at their sites for great devotion to duty (scoring) and to Hesi, Pete and Scooby for providing entertainment for a lot of happy racing folk .

Maximus Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Danger! Danger! Warning Will Robinson!! The Mustelid Hath Been Thinking Even More ... What about this? Team TRP (ie 5 selected players representing TRP) vs Team RC (likewise for Race Cafe) in an agreed format, let's say Best of 3,5 or 7 weeks. Both sites show the tips and race-by-race scores/updates in their own time-honoured fashion. I daresay SNM's display ain't exackly the same as PJ's but it matters not. At the end of the 3,5 or 7 week series the winning site has bragging rights until the next Challenge Series. Could even be done twice a year, covering the autumn and spring carnivals ... P'raps the most interesting thing would be ...which 5 tipsters get selected for each site? MM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you wish to keep floating ideas who am I to stop you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately he had done such a good job I didn't give a shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
