[Track Collector]

Hello Everyone,

In order to make it easier for everyone to post, and particularly to SEARCH, for information relative to their specific match, EACH Day's 1-on-1 matches will be organized under three separate daily threads.

The three different threads will be as follows:
(a) A thread to post ONLY the selected track and races for the indicated day/date.
(b) A thread to post ONLY the actual wagering selections for the indicated day/date.
(c) A thread to post ONLY to notify the scorekeeper of who won that specific day's game.

In addition, an on-going RESULTS thread will be created and maintained by a Moderator so that everyone can see the current status of all that round's matches.

It will not be hard to keep things straight, but everyone will need to make a dedicated effort to post only the appropriate thread.

Should this not be clear, simply click on the thread, and the initial posting should tell you what type of information you should be posting in THAT particular thread.


Chris

A listing of PACS Award Points will be posted soon.

[Track Collector]

Listed below are the PaceAdvantage Challenge Series award points for the IdaBet Match Play Contest. Remember that these are a little different than with previous contests due to the format of this contest, where players are being eliminated in GROUPS.

Points --> Player

3000 --> Red Knave

2250 --> Aner

1750 --> Immanuel Kant

1500 --> bitter

1075 --> buffaloxp, camerous, davew, Track Collector

(As a side note, the contest brackets listed as an attachment under post#2 of the "IdaBet.com Match Play Championship" thread have been updated and finalized.).

Be sure to thank all our sponsors, especially our Title Sponsor IdaBet.com, for their generous prize donations. Without them our contests would be a lot less fun, and draw a lot less interest.


I suspect Jay will put up the Year-To-Date standings soon, possibly in another thread. Remember that for those, only your top 5 scores will count, with the lowest score now dropping off. This means that for players who have participated in ALL the contests so far, your YTD score will either remain unchanged, or go up by a value LESS than the point values listed above.

Hope to see you in the Overlay Breeders' Cup ROI contest, which starts in just a few days on Friday, 11/02. Be sure to sign up in time under the appropriate thread.
