PWJ Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Just a heads-up for the Spring NPC Super Comp 2024. The Spring NPC Super Comp will commence on Saturday August 10. It will consist of 8 teams and will run as a round-robin for the first 14 weeks after which the Top 4 teams will compete in a Finals Series culminating on Nov 16, final day of the Melbourne Spring Carnival. The bottom 4 Teams will also have a Presidents Finals Series. It's important that sometime in the next week you indicate if you: a) wish to participate in the Spring Comp b) wish to stay in your team from last time or seek a change If you didn't play in the last NPC comp please feel free to join and if you have a team preference, please state. Teams will have vacancies. The reigning Champs are the Ferdies who defeated the Turbos in the 2023 Grand Final. The Blues defeated the Magpies in the 3rd place playoff. The Chiefs beat The Highlanders in the Presidents Grand Final while the Kauri Kats were awarded the Wooden Spoon after being defeated by The Swamp Foxes. The format will be the same as for the recent Super comps. The posting thread will be open permanently but there will be a restriction of at least 6 different picks (of 20) for those who post after their opponent Lastly we will need 8 Captains to helm these 8 great franchises. Think about making the small but important commitment to Captaincy. Any questions please ask. Here are the teams from the last rendition (with available players listed): TURBOS: Gary, Ziggy, Our Maizcay, Blind Squirrel, Ray FERDIES: Heather, Hesi, Geoff, Maurice, PJ MAGPIES: Antz, Richie, Stevie N, Ian, Secret Squirrel BLUES: Smiler, Roland, Gordy, Moose, Pete KAURI KATS: Sharne, Rex, Graeme, SWAMP FOXES: Maria, Jamison, Black Caviar, Punter Pete HIGHLANDERS: Tonka, Midnight Caller, Craig, Rob, Howie CHIEFS: Gee, Jack, Robert, Steve P, Lightning Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Happy to captain the Ferdies, current NPC title holders, again. As long as Geoff comes in and Heather, the Empress of Leppersville is able to participate the team should be unchanged Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookingForValue Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Might be interested if I could know what the rules are. Do I need to take a blood test? Is a sense of humour mandatory? My judgement may be in question as I moved to Australia 13 years ago and am still here. If I decide to join, will request I be put in the expected low performing team if there is such a thing. No expectations is my go though I can fluke a win every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the Aus thing, PJ lives in Aus, as do many others, and he runs the comp. All you need to focus on is picking 2 horses in each of the specified 10 races each week, 5 in NZ, 5 in Aus, and selecting 1 best bet in each country. Simple, PJ and the captains will handle the rest. The above applies to any newbies who actively participate on the site and may be considering entering.

We're high performers sometimes but don't let that put you off. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
