Hi all,
I want to eliminate first starters from my automation rules. Does anybody know what rule I could use to do this? I can store form as a text value but what condition would I apply to eliminate first starters?
Thanks Darren

I dont know, but you might be able to approximate it with: prizemoney = 0

I don't think prizemoney is available as a stored value, plus this would eliminate some required runners. Thanks anyhow.

To clarify, is there a rule or condition I can apply that recognises that a runner has no numbers in the "form" column. I have managed to store form values for each runner as a text value but I've tried conditions form>0, form =0, but both these conditions eliminate required runners.

Perhaps if you test for "" (that is, 2 consecutive double quotes, which means 'blank' in some formats)

Try using a Text Comparison condition' and test if
The Stored value named *whatever your form SV is called*
Contains any of the following

and enter these text items (one on each line)

p
f
u
b
/
0
1
2

Thanks Dallas, this is what I was looking for, can't believe I missed seeing that condition.
