On Wednesday 6th April, if there is sufficient interest.....(A MINIMUM OF 12 PLAYERS IS REQUIRED) I am prepared to run a 'Grand National Sweepstake Game' thread into which will be posted a passworded Excel spreadsheet.
This sheet will contain:
a) a column showing the number of runners competing at the time of posting, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc through to 40+.
b) a password column
c) a 'blank' column containing the horses' names (some of which may be reserves and horses that may be withdrawn before the race starts.)
NB Players who pick a horse that is subsequently withdrawn, will be able to pick a replacement as long as numbers remain available for selection.
All you have to do is to pick and post ONE number between 1 & 40+, on a first come first served basis, in the game thread, and I will then PM (or Email) you 2 PASSWORDS, one to open the spreadsheet and another for the number you have chosen.
Open the spreadsheet, copy and paste your 'number' password into the corresponding cell in the spreadsheet and the name of your horse will be revealed.......simples !!
PLEASE NOTE that the number(s) you pick will bear no resemblance or comparison to the racecard number and associated horse published in the national press or Racing Post et al. The horses are RANDOMLY assigned to the numbers on the spreadsheet.
If by midnight Wednesday 6th April not all the horses have been chosen (highly likely), I will post up the remaining numbers still available, so players will be able to post another number during Thursday 7th April, again on a first come first served basis.
I will PM (or Email) you the PASSWORD for your second selection.
This process will be repeated AGAIN on Friday 8th if necessary, in order to distribute as many numbers as possible.
As long as numbers remain available for selection, players are allowed to choose a MAXIMUM of 3 numbers, one on Wednesday 6th, one Thursday 7th & one Friday 8th April.
NEW players are welcome to join the game on Thursday and also Friday.
As this 'game' depends solely on luck and is meant as a bit of fun, an Amazon Voucher will be given to the person who selects the winning horse........AND an Amazon Voucher to the person who selects the LAST horse to finish.
(The above prizes will hopefully be kindly donated by Keith)
Anyone fancy a go....post here if you do and/or express your interest in the attached poll.
