The daily top scorer prize: win tomorrow's ratings

Every race day, the Free member who finishes top of the daily NAP leaderboard wins the next day's Premium ratings, free. Win on a Thursday and you get Friday and Saturday. Win on a Friday and you get Saturday and Sunday.

The weekly and monthly prizes take a run of good days to win. The daily top scorer prize only takes one. Every day the NAP Competition runs is a fresh competition, and whoever finishes top of that day's leaderboard wins the next day's full Premium ratings, free.

What you win

Thursday covers two days because Free Ratings Friday already gives Friday's ratings to anyone who plays a couple of days a week, so a Friday-only prize would be worth very little to a regular player. A Friday win covers the whole weekend.

It's the same full racecard a paying Premium member sees, for every race on the days you've won. That's worth having on a Friday: on Friday 2 October our Top Rated, The Ducks Walk, won at Gowran Park at an Exchange SP (XSP) of 12.84.

Who can win it

• Free members. The prize is free Premium ratings, so it's for players who don't already have them. If a Premium or Professional member, or someone on a Premium trial, finishes top, nothing changes for them and the prize isn't passed down to second place.
• No X account needed. Anyone can win. If you've linked X you're tagged in the announcement, and if you haven't we use your display name.
• Dead heats. If two or more Free members finish level at the top, every one of them gets the prize.

There's nothing to opt into. Enter your NAP, NB and 3B as normal (see How do I play the NAP Competition?) and you're in.

Saturdays are the biggest cards of the week. On Saturday 12 September our Top Rated, Krasimir, won at Leopardstown at an XSP of 12.00.

When it lands

The prize is settled at the day's final leaderboard update, once the last race is in. At that moment:

• You get a notification in the app and an email telling you which days you've won.
• The winner is announced on X with the top of the daily leaderboard.
• The next time you open the ratings, a celebration pops up with your winning score.

Then just log in on the day and the full ratings are there. Nothing to claim, nothing to activate.

A Friday win runs right through to Sunday. On Sunday 20 September our Top Rated, Bradbury, won at Hamilton at an XSP of 17.04.

If a race result is held up and the day can't be settled that evening, the prize is settled the next morning as soon as the result is in. You still get every day you won.

When it ends

The ratings unlock only for the days you won. After your last day you'll get a short notification that your free day has ended. To keep the full ratings every day, you can upgrade to Premium at any time, or just top the board again.
