Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How do I obtain a pitch or stall on a Spook Erection market?

Answer: By arriving as early as possible before the official advertised opening time of the market, on the first day you intend to trade and join the casual queue. If in doubt about where the casual queue forms, you should make yourself known to the Market Superintendent who will allocate you a pitch on a first come first served basis, as soon as he is able to do so. He will also make you aware of all the market rules.

Question: Do I get to keep the pitch or stall allocated to me?

Answer: The pitch or stall allocated to you will be at the Company’s absolute discretion, normally yours automatically for each subsequent trading day, covering that particular and specific market for as long as such trading position may exist. Please note that this is only a concession not a right on behalf of the Company for convenience in the smooth operation of the market.
