--- title: "NAP Competition Explained: How to Enter and Every Tweet" description: "How our free NAP Competition works: a video of an entry, the prizes, and every tweet the competition posts on X, from your entry to the winners." url: https://ratingtheraces.com/blog/nap-competition-explained/ date_modified: "2026-11-10" --- Information # NAP Competition Explained: How to Enter and Every Tweet 10 Nov 2026 · RatingTheRaces [Blog](https://ratingtheraces.com/blog/) / [Information](https://ratingtheraces.com/category/information/) The NAP Competition is our free tipping competition, and it runs every race day of the year. You pick 3 horses from the day's races: your **NAP**, your **NB** (next best) and your **3B** (third best). Your picks are scored against everyone else's on daily, weekly, monthly and yearly leaderboards, and there are prizes every day. It is free for every member (Free, Premium and Professional). If you have X, the competition plays out there too, on [@RTRNapComp](https://x.com/RTRNapComp). Your picks go out from your own account, you get tagged if a horse comes out, and you get a shout when your picks win or you go top of a leaderboard. This post shows you how to enter, what you can win, and what you will see on X along the way. ## How to enter This is a full entry from start to finish, filmed on the Fairyhouse and Lingfield cards: 3 picks, 1 of them each way, then Submit. It plays without sound and the captions walk you through it. Entering the NAP Competition: pick 3 horses, choose Win, Place or E/W for each one, and submit. 1. **Open a racecard.** Hit **Enter Today's NAPs** on your dashboard, or open any of the day's races. 2. **Pick your NAP.** Open the NAP box beside the horse and choose **NAP**. The counter at the top of the card ticks to 1 of 3. 3. **Pick your NB and 3B** the same way, from any of the day's other races. 4. **Open your entry.** Click the counter. Each pick can be **Win**, **Place** or **E/W**, and to be scored at the Exchange SP (XSP) instead of the odds shown, tap the **XSP** chip on that pick. 5. **Submit.** Your picks lock and appear on [Today's NAP Entries](https://ratingtheraces.com/entries/today/), so everyone can see who picked what. There is no cutoff time. Enter whenever you like, as long as all 3 of your races are still to run, and you can get tomorrow's entry in from the afternoon before. ## How you score Each pick is scored as a £50 bet at the price you took. A winner adds its profit to your score and a loser takes £50 off it. A Place pick is scored on the place market, and an each way pick is half on the win and half on the place. Your day adds to your week, your month and your year, which is why you will see players described as +£665 on the day. ## What you can win | Competition | 1st | 2nd and 3rd | To qualify | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Daily | 3 days of free Premium ratings | 2 days and 1 day of free Premium ratings | Won by the top 3 on the day, if they're Free members | | Weekly, Sunday to Saturday | £20 cash, a £25 free bet, 1 month of Premium and a winner's mug | 50% and 25% off your first month of Premium | Play on 4 or more days | | Monthly | £50 cash, a £50 free bet, 2 months of Premium and a winner's mug | 50% and 25% off your first 2 months of Premium | Play on 15 or more days | Free members who play on every race day from Sunday to Friday also go into a draw on Saturday morning for a free day of Premium ratings. The full details are in [Weekly and monthly winners' prizes](https://ratingtheraces.com/nap-competition/prizes/) and the [NAP Competition rules](https://ratingtheraces.com/nap-competition/rules/). ## Do you need an X account? No. Anyone can enter, and anyone can win the daily, weekly and monthly prizes, with or without X. Free members without X tick **Enter without X** on the entry slip, and Premium and Professional members can submit straight away. Linking X gets you more out of it: - your picks are posted from your own account the moment you submit - you get non-runner alerts on X as well as by email - you get tagged when you hit a double, a treble or the top of a leaderboard, and you can pick up followers along the way - Free members unlock a free 5-day Premium trial with their first entry - you can win the Saturday draw, which needs a linked public X account ## What you will see on X Most of these come from @RTRNapComp. Some go out from your own account if you have X linked, and our main account, @RatingTheRaces, joins in too. ### Your picks, posted for you With X linked, your entry goes out from your own account as soon as you submit: your NAP, NB and 3B, with a card showing the silks, the prices and your name. If you are in the weekly or monthly top 10, it says where. The first time you link X, your account also posts an **I'm in** tweet inviting your followers to play. > Here's my NAP, NB and 3B for Tuesday: > > NAP: Cinnodin 15:20 [@LingfieldPark](https://x.com/LingfieldPark) > NB: Kamille Au Kanada 14:20 [@LingfieldPark](https://x.com/LingfieldPark) > 3B: Well Bud 13:30 [@Fairyhouse](https://x.com/Fairyhouse) > > Free to enter, daily prizes.

They are won by the top 3 players on the daily leaderboard, if they're Free members. Premium and Professional members already have the ratings, so a place they hold has no prize and it is not passed down to the next player. That is why some days show a 1st and a 3rd but no 2nd. > 🏆DAILY NAP COMP RESULTS🏆 > > Take a bow, the top of yesterday's NAP Competition leaderboard! > > 🥇[@RThorn1](https://x.com/RThorn1) wins 3 days of FREE Premium Ratings > 🥉[@mjr8591](https://x.com/mjr8591) wins 1 day of FREE Premium Ratings > > 🆓A new daily comp starts every day, play free: [https://t.co/EqAZW4LrX6](https://t.co/EqAZW4LrX6)🆓[#RTRNaps](https://x.com/hashtag/RTRNaps?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/pPzxeFBWaC](https://t.co/pPzxeFBWaC) > > [@RTRNapComp on X, November 4, 2026](https://twitter.com/RTRNapComp/status/2117860419641417802) ![The daily leaderboard top 3 for Tuesday 3 November: Thorny2307 1st on £625, John polockus 2nd on £475 and mjr8591 3rd on £450](https://ratingtheraces.com/blog/nap-competition-explained/tw-daily.webp) The morning after a week or month ends, the winner is named with the final top 3, and everyone who played is tagged for the next one. > 👑New week, new champion!
