PLEASE READ FIRST BEFORE VOTING!
Hello everyone,
Listed below are the rules for the 2012-2013 Ridersup Contest.
Please read the rules carefully, and before you begin participation, click the poll question at the top of this thread and vote Yes. The poll will only allow you to vote one time, so if you do not fully understand the rules, never vote no, but first seek an improved understanding, then come back and vote Yes.
IMPORTANT NOTE --> You will find to the far right of each poll question a highlighted number. Clicking on that number will allow one to see an alphabetic listing of those who have chosen (voted) for that option. This is the ONLY place where the moderators will determine if you have met this contest requirement.
Posting below should be limited to rule-related questions only. If you mistakenly post below for the purpose of rules acknowledgement and you fail to vote in the poll above, you will remain INELIGIBLE for contest participation.
Now on to the rules...........
RIDERSUP 2012-2013 AQUEDUCT INNER DIRT CHALLENGE:
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 is usually held from approximately December to mid-March. Exact contest dates will be announced upon determination of the Inner Dirt schedule.
UPDATE: Contest start date will be Saturday, 12/15.
3. In order to participate and have your selections scored and count, a player must vote yes (in the poll listed at the top of this thread) that they have read and agree to abide by all contest rules. Your name must appear under the appropriate poll summary before selections are scored on a given day. If you sign up AFTER a given day's selections are scored, subject selections will be deemed invalid, and will not be scored retroactively. Participants may enter the contest at any time, and their are no minimum participation requirements needed to qualify for prizes and PaceAdvantage Contest Series (PACS) award points.
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 racing on a given day be cancelled entirely or in part, the contest will be cancelled for everyone that day, even if consolation P4 payouts are awarded.
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 before clicking the "Submit" button. Individual tickets must be posted vertically, and it is highly recommended that they look like the following example as much as possible.
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 must be made at least one minute prior to off time of the first race in that Pick 4 sequence. Late selections will be considered invalid and not scored. A player is responsible for the accuracy of their forum time stamp.
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. The Daily Racing Form Results chart payout numbers shall serve as the basis for determining winning tickets.
9. Self-reporting is acceptable, but not required.
10. The contest management team (Jay Trotter, PaceAdvantage, Track Collector) or the designated representative(s) shall have final say on all matters.
GOOD SKILL and have fun.
