The Melbourne Cup sweep is a much-loved ritual of Victoria’s Spring Racing Carnival.

This year, naturally, is a bit different. With a nod to people’s separation from their work colleagues and friends, The Age presentation team has put together a virtual sweep generator.

You can divide the field evenly between 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 players or you can fill out 24 names in the sweep.

That second option is useful for when you want to sell second tickets to people because you can enter the same name more than once as often happens when you don’t have quite enough people to take the whole field.
