Greetings prospective contest players!
Please read the contest rules listed below completely, then complete the poll shown above when you are ready to register. The poll will only allow you to "vote" one time, so if you have any questions, never "vote" the No option, but first seek an improved understanding by asking questions. Once satisfied, you can come back and "vote" Yes.
Here are the rules and objective for this contest:
(Please pay particular attention to the change listed in rule 8)
1. This contest will run from 07/17 thru 09/04, excluding Tuesdays.
2. The goal is to secure the highest "Hybrid" Return On Investment (ROI). The ROI is calculated by dividing the accumulated winnings by the amount wagered. It will be a "hybrid" variety, as in addition to the normal accumulated winnings, players will receive BONUS amounts relative to the finish position of their selection. (The BONUS amounts will be explained further below.).
3. A one-time registration and rules acknowledgement is a prerequisite for participation in this contest. (See associated poll above.). Subject requirement must be completed before a given day's selections are scored, otherwise those selections will NOT be scored, even retroactively. To the right of each poll option you will find a number highlighted in blue. Clicking on this number will show you an alphabetical listing of those who have "voted" for that option. If your name appears on the listing for the "YES" option, you are properly registered and ready for contest participation. You can register and enter the contest at any time, provided there is enough time for you to meet all the contest eligibility requirements.
4. A player's selection will consist of a $2 Win/Place/Show wager ($6 total) on a single wagering entity. Selections are is limited to thoroughbred races at Saratoga Race Course and Del Mar racetrack. New for 2013 --> Selections WILL be allowed on hurdle/jump races.
5. To become eligible for all contest prizes and awards, a player must complete BOTH of the following requirements:
(a) Finish with at least 15 plays on Del Mar races.
(b) Finish with at least 15 plays on Saratoga races.
A player may of course choose to play more races.
6. A player is limited to 3 TOTAL plays per day. Total Plays = # of plays at Del Mar + # of plays at Saratoga. A scratched selection does not count as a play.
7. When a selection is made, it can not also include an ALTERNATE selection. Previously submitted selections can be changed at any time and for any reason (under a new, separate posting) if done so at least one minute before the off time of the involved race. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to reference information in your original selection posting, use the "QUOTE" option. Using the "EDIT" option instead "could" result in an edit timestamp which causes a winning selection to be scored as a no-play!
8. Posted selections as a minimum need to include the track name, race number, and the selection's saddlecloth number. It is also highly recommended that you include the horse's name. If any of the information in a selection is not in agreement (track/race#/saddlecloth#/horse's name), the horse's name will take priority and be considered your selection. When an entry is involved, please include in your posting that it is an entry, and clearly specify which horse(s) you want as a part of your selection. New for 2013 --> In order to eliminate ANY possibility of manipulation, and to provide players with greater freedom, entries will be scored as "separate" entities. For example, if you decide to play only the 1A, and the 1A becomes a scratch, your selection will be considered a no-play, even if the other part of the entry finishes in one of the top 3 finish positions. Players of course still have the option to include all of the entry in their selections. NOTE: Should a player's selection involve an entry, and that player fails to list the names of which horse(s) he/she wants as part of the selection, it will be assumed that they only want the listed saddlecloth number(s) as their selection(s).
9. Selections must be posted at least 1 minute prior to the race off time. (When a posting has been "edited", it will reflect two different timestamps, one for the original posting and one for the "edited" version of the posting. Both timestamps must meet the above requirement.). Selections which do not meet the above requirement will be scored as follows:
-- If the selection finishes 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, the selection will be scored as a "no-play", and the player is free to make another race selection.
-- If the selection finishes 4th or worse, the selection will be scored as a loss, as your selection intention was clear.
Players are responsible for the accuracy of their timestamp, that is, making sure it is set up for the proper time zone they are located in. Players are also responsible for posting their selections under the appropriate daily forum threads established for capturing selections.
10. The following situations will be scored as a "no-play":
(a) When your selection is scratched out of the race.
(b) When the involved race is cancelled, or declared by the racing officials to be "no contest"
(c) When your selection runs in the race, but is running for purse money only, and thus has no wagering odds.
(d) The involved race does not offer place and/or show wagering.
(e) Your posted selection is NOT found under the correct daily selection thread.
11. In addition to the normal $2 WPS payouts, players will receive the following payout bonuses:
(a) Your selection finishes 1st --> Bonus = $5
(b) Your selection finishes 2nd --> Bonus = $2
(c) Your selection finishes 3rd --> Bonus = $1
(d) Your selection finishes 4th or worse --> No Bonus
Scoring examples will be shown under a separate posting.
12. A special "Chatter" thread will be created where anyone can post during the contest. The contest Moderators will also use this thread to communicate important announcements and comments to ALL the participants. Players are responsible for checking out this thread on a regular basis.
13. Good Sportsmanship will rule the day. Jay Trotter, Track Collector, and/or their designated representatives will be the final decision makers regarding any questions regarding rule interpretations and/or scoring.
GOOD SKILL TO ALL!
