This is how things stand.

Trial races closing date is Saturday 16 March at 12pm UK time.
The races will be announced in the next 2 days. If you haven't registered your stable best you do it as soon as possible here

Races will be run the following week.

League week 1 races closing date for entries will be 30 March ( this is subject to change but very unlikely)

Uploads for the league will be allowed once all the trial data is cleared. An announcement when the upload window has opened.

Excellent stuff

can you or Paul send me the race kit.

thanx mate.

leonvanrensburg at yahoo dot com.

I sent it to you about a week ago. But email me and I will send it again

email sent

i have resent Leon Kevs 2 email addresses

do you have the kit now mate

Yeah, I have the kit now, got it through dropbox instead.
but that is the least of my problems, I keep getting a BEX error when I try and run the file. I've just sent a email to Leon about it.
I've sent an email to you as well so you know what's going on.

Problem solved

Just in case of any doubt:

1. Over the next 24 hours I will blow away all the test data - this includes horse files, stable rosters, race entries etc. Thank you to those of you who so willingly tested. Don't worry, there's plenty more opportunities for further testing

2. I will liaise with Leon and sort out the final schedules for NHC and UKRA and sort these out. They are useful to those of you who are doing stable trials.

3. I'll also check with Leon re the trial races.

4. Once again, the trial data will be considered test data and all the data will be erased again before the new seasons start. So this means you can choose to use your league runners or not - totally up to you.

Thanks again dave for all your work well appreciated.

thanks for all the hardwork guys..

Great job to everyone involved in getting the leagues ready to roll again and if you need any help running the races again im happy to help

lads i cant bleieve how easy and user friendly the new tom is i entered 13 horses in 13 trials in minutes so easy

A Massive well done to DAVE & LEON

its a work of art lads

Hi Dave if you want to help just email me at leonvanrensburg at yahoo dot com



Its mainly Dave who we have to thank I have only started helping recently. Dave has done a brilliant job

Thank you. I appreciate your comments and also your patience as I have a little too much in the way of commitments. However, the plan was always to try and build something that would be able to be more sustainable. I've just added the first part of the new admin module and this will be critical in the future as we need to ensure that the league can be maintained, supported, and customised without needing specialist PHP or MySQL knowledge.

In terms of making things more sustainable, it's great to have someone like Leon on board. Even if he supports the wrong rugby team.

I am looking forward to taking my part in the league, have just uploaded my stable, i don`t expect to challenge for anything other than listed or handicap races, but will use the first season as a learning experience.

Thanks to everyone involved in getting it up and running, also thanks to anyone that has given me advice on the game

Joe
