#608634 - Fri Mar 25 2011 06:57 PM Results & Standings .. Grand National
ozzz2002 Moderator Registered: Mon Dec 03 2001 Posts: 20907 Loc: Sydney NSW Australia	The Grand National is the world's most prestigious steeplechase and is on again on April 9, 2011. There are currently 102 acceptances, but that number will be trimmed to 40 in the next couple of weeks. RULES The rules are simple, and are the same as last year, and the year before, and the year before that... - Pick 10 horses in the order you think they'll finish, 1st to 10th. - Points: for any horse out of the 10 you've picked, which finishes in the first five: 1st : 10 pts 2nd : 6 pts 3rd : 3 pts 4th : 2 pts 5th : 1 pt - The order of your tips will be used as a tiebreaker. Last year's winner was JaneMarple, with Szabs and paper_aero rounding out the placings. I found a good link with loads of information about the race here. Cutoff time is five minutes before the race starts (4:15pm London time). Get your name down in this thread and good luck, all! Edited by gtho4 (Sat Apr 09 2011 12:36 PM)
