East Anglian 64 Dog Stake

[Paul Melia]

As an interested form savant eagerly awaiting the arrival of last season's whippet coursing form book, I was wondering how the points system would apply to the 64 dog stake held by the East Anglian Coursing Club at the end of the season.

For example the system allocates in ascending order points for every round won by a whippet (first round equals one point and second round equals two points etc) as long as the round wasn't a bye.

How will the points system apply to this stake as some dogs progressed by running byes (no points) and beating moderate fare in other rounds?

Just curious as the form book will no doubt reveal all!!

Hi Paul it was a 40 dog stake , Corky

Hello Paul,

A 40 dog stake seems a bit of an untidy number of competitors to have in a knock out competition. How many rounds were run and how many were byes?

Blimey! You're not asking much are you! The sport was amazing. The dogs ran themselves further than probably they had ever done so before . It was a brilliant culmination to a wonderful season. the sport was never better. Sod the stats!

We could say that about a lot of stakes, Lampy.....Good sport, the best dog won.....What price the mealy mouthed bickering...????????????????

LM, if you had taken note of your drinking stats, you wouldn't have culminated your season by being sent home in disgrace!!

Sorry, but I couldn't resist!! :cheers:

Bottoms up
