MUP handicap contest details (shamelessly copied from Jo's post last year):

The MUP handicapping contest will be returning for Year 45. This is open to EVERYONE! However, I do encourage seasoned Mixed Breed trainers to play in the Scorpion handicapping contest to allow new Mixer trainers to win more horses. If you are a seasoned Mixer trainer trying to get into a new Mixer division, feel free to play, but if your trying to win horses in a division you are experienced in, I strongly encourage you not to play.

This will be run very close to the way the Scorpion Handicapping Contest is run. You will get 4 points for a win, 2 for second and 1 for third. I will though pick 6 races instead of 5. Similar to last year, stakes yearlings will NOT be given away every week, instead, stakes yearlings will be given away to the highest combined score every other week. So the highest combined score for weeks 2 and 3 will get a stakes prize, then the highest score for weeks 4 and 5 will get a stakes and so on. Because there are no stakes being given out every week, for the weekly scores the top two players will win an allowance horse.

There will be 15 weeks in this contest, your top 10 scores will be used so you get 5 drops. (same as Scorpion handicapping)

Stakes yearlings:
Appy - 1
Arabian - 1
Paints - 1
QH - 2
Pacers - 1
Trotters - 1

Allowance yearlings:
Appy - 10
Arabian - 2
Paints - 4
QH - 5
Pacers - 6
Trotters - 7

There is 1 freak yearling, a QH sprint filly, a score of 22 or higher (4 firsts and 1 second place finish) will win the freak. Also, if there is a score of 22 or above prizes will be awarded down to third place. If the score of 22+ comes from an established QH Sprint trainer/breeder, it will be treated like a normal week with just the stakes and allowance being given away.

In the event of a tie, I will pick a tiebreaker race for the players in the tie to PM MUP with their pick to win and the race time (Only used if 2 or more players have the same pick). Due to a small prize barn this year, ties will most likely always end in a tiebreaker. However, I may be able to donate some Paint Allowance yearlings/2yos from my personal barn for a few weeks

If you have the same picks as someone else, whoever posted first will be considered the winner.

Year end prizes will include SIM money, stakes yearlings, the freak filly if she isn't won during the year and whatever else I think of.
