How To Play Pat’s NAPs
Picking your selections for each day is simple with Pat’s NAPs. Once you enter a competition, the list of races each day can be found under the “Enter picks” tab, in which you can choose your horse in every race. We guide you through the entire step-by-step process from signing up below.
- Sign up for a Pat’s NAPs account: Using your name and email address, fill in your key details to begin creating your Pat’s NAPs account. This is free to do and takes only a few seconds.
- Join the York Ebor Festival competition: Click “Join Now” on the Ebor Festival competition
- Choose your picks: Once you have joined, click the “Enter picks” tab to begin selecting your horses each day.
- Pick one horse per race: Pick one horse in each race per day of the competition.
- Select backups: If you wish to select a backup horse in the case of a non-runner, you can do so at the bottom of each race. This will default to the favourite if your horse does not run.
- Pick a NAP: You can select a NAP selection each day by clicking the star icon at the top right of the page. This selection will be worth double points should it win.
Once you have followed these steps, you will have a complete set of selections as shown below.
How the Scoring Works
The scoring in Pat’s NAPs is straightforward to follow. Let’s say you pick a selection at 2/1 in a race and it wins. That earns you 2 points on the leaderboard. If you selected that horse as your “NAP, you get twice the points, meaning it would earn you 4 points.
There is a points cap applied for outsiders at 16 points. Therefore, if you pick a winner at 20/1 (congratulations!), you will still only earn 16 points. This is also the case for NAPs: if you pick a 10/1 winning NAP, you can still only earn 16 points rather than 20. The table below shows you how the scoring works in summary.
Mini Leagues
If you wish to, you can create your own mini league between your friends and family. The winner’s prize in Pat’s NAPs goes only to the overall champion, but for those creating their own mini leagues, the spoils can be arranged among yourselves!
Prizes
The winner of the York Ebor Festival tipping game with Pat’s NAPs will win a £100 Deliveroo voucher, whilst there are daily prizes of £25 in Deliveroo vouchers up for grabs. So, even if you miss day 1, you can still play for the rest of the week and try and win the daily prize.
