What is a Punter's Challenge?

A Punters Challenge is a race tipping competition generally held on a Saturday afternoons or large race meeting days.

Punters pay a nominated entry fee to participate and receive a card which they fill in their one selection per race.

Tipping closes at the jump of the first nominated race. With all cards handed to challenge organiser.

Points are awarded based on a set tote. In our case at the hotel it is UNITAB (Qld TAB Dividend)

Scoring is set by the challenge organiser. The Commonwealth Hotel Roma scores as follows:

            1^st         1^ST place div+ the place div

            2^nd       place div

            3^rd       place div

            All for $1.

So for example: if the punter selects a horse and it wins. On the Qld TAB Tote it pays $1.80 the win & $1.10 the place: The punter is awarded 2.9 pts.

The winner is the punter with the most cumulative points after the last nominated race.

Should there be a tie after the conclusion of the nominated races. There is normally a tie breaker race. This is only for these punters with the highest score.

If there is still a tie after the tie breaker, the prize pool is divided between the punters with the highest score.

If the punter’s selection is a late scratching he or she is allowed to make an alternative selection.
