If 8 players make it through to the qtr finals ( which is normally the case) ,how do 12 players win cash

4 players to get cash prizes in the plate comp?

And you have a 1 in 3 chance of winning

As far as I am aware, prize money will be paid out in both the main and supplementary event, so I assume qtrs in the main and semis in the plate ?

The organiser has asked me to post on here this morning to say that he will ACCEPT ENTRIES ON THE DAY tomorrow at Rileys, Coventry.
