RIDERSUP 2015-2016 AQUEDUCT INNER TRACK CHALLENGE RULES:
1. The object is to accumulate the largest bankroll, using P4 Wagers only, during the Aqueduct "Inner Dirt" meet. Each contest day, a player will be given a $200 allotment to construct his/her wagers.
2. The contest will be open on Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays during the Inner Dirt meet, which will begin on December 12, 2015 and end on a yet-to-be-determined date in March/April 2016. (Subject date will be announce once determined.).
3.
In order to be eligible for any prizes, a player must submit selections on at least 10 different contest days.
4. On any given contest day, a player may choose to play either the Early Pick 4 or the Late Pick 4. It is not an option to play both.
5. Should any of the Pick 4 races on a given day be cancelled due to inclement weather, that ENTIRE contest day will be considered VOID and no one will receive any winning credits to their score. Should a race be cancelled for any other reason, the Contest Management team will review and make the appropriate ruling on how/if to score.
6. The base wager amount for each ticket will be $1, and may be increased by $1 increments. Selections must be posted under the proper thread in order to be scored and count.
Players are highly encouraged to review their selections for accuracy (using the PREVIEW BUTTON) before clicking the "Submit" button. To assist in scoring, the format listed below is highly recommended.
Early Pick 4
$1 --> 1,2,7,8,10 // 4,8 // 1,5,7,8 // 3,4,7,9 ($160)
$1 --> 1,2 // 4,8 // 1,2,4,6 // 4,7 ($32)
$8 --> 2 // 4 // 4 // 7 ($8)
Total = $200
Should a player wager MORE than $200 total, the selections will be adjusted by reducing the base wager amount of the last ticket by $1, then continuing until the entire group of tickets is in compliance. When a ticket and its associated total shown to the right are not in agreement, it will be assumed that the ticket is correct, and that the math showing its value is incorrect.
7. Selections and/or changes (edits) must be made at least one minute prior to off time of the first race in that Pick 4 sequence. Late selections or changes (edits) will be considered invalid and not scored. A player is responsible for the accuracy of their forum time stamp. Forum timestamps versus the official off time of the first leg will be the final determiner in any and all disputes.
8. In the event of scratches, the affected horse(s) will be replaced by the Post Time Favorite. Should one of those selections involve any entry, you will receive replacement of the Post Time Favorite ONLY if
all runners associated with that entry are scratched. Otherwise, you will have action with the other horses associated with that entry that DO run. Equibase and/or Daily Racing Form results chart payout numbers shall serve as the basis for determining winning tickets.
9.
In an effort to encourage and reward good skill, a player's total winnings for any given contest day will be capped at $5,000.
10. The official scorekeepers for this contest will be
davew and
LAP_520. Self-reporting is acceptable, but not required.

SPECIAL BONUS PRIZE: The first person who hits with a single pick in each race wins a $50 gift card from fellow user 098poi. ($1 --> 5 // 3 // 6 // 1 for example). Single picks only. You do not qualify if your ticket ends up being a single as a result of a late scratch. The ticket can be any qualifying bet amount. You would win if it were a $1 ticket and you'd also win if it were a $200 ticket.
If more than one person hits on the day (for instance, one has a winning singles ticket in the early Pick 4, and another person has a winning singles ticket on the late Pick 4, they would split regardless of how much the Pick 4 pays. If more than 2 hit on 1 day, the prize will be doubled to $100 and split equally.
This is a one time only prize, meaning the first time it is hit, there will be no further prizes offered should it be hit again later in the contest.

Anyone who has already placed their picks prior to 1:18am ET on 12/12/15 is NOT affected by this rule change, and any single ticket listed that happens to hit will win or share in the bonus prize.
Please indicate clearly which ticket you want to submit as your bonus gift card play. Something along the lines of typing ***GIFT CARD BONUS*** next to the ticket would suffice.
GOOD SKILL and have fun.
