PLEASE READ FIRST BEFORE VOTING!
Hello potential contest participants,
Listed below are the rules for the 2013-2014 Ridersup (Aqueduct Inner Dirt) Contest sponsored by
GAPFIRE.COM.
Please read thru 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 --> At the far right of each poll question a highlighted number can be seen. Clicking on that number will allow you to see an alphabetical listing of those who have chosen (voted) for that option. When you seen your name listed after the YES option, you are properly registered and can begin submitting selections.
Regardless of what you may have done otherwise, if your name is not on that sorted YES summary listing, you can not participate.
Now on to the rules...........
RIDERSUP 2013-2014 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 will begin on 12/14 and end on a yet-to-be-determined date in March/April 2014. (Subject date will be announce once determined.).
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, any selections on that day will be deemed invalid, and will not be scored retroactively.
New for 2014: In order to be eligible for any prize/award and PaceAdvantage Contest Series (PACS) award points, 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 P4 races on a given day be cancelled due to inclement weather, that contest day will be considered washed out 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 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.
New for 2014: 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. Self-reporting is acceptable, but not required.
11. The contest management team (Ted Craven, PaceAdvantage, Track Collector) or their designated representative(s) shall have final say on all matters.
GOOD SKILL and have fun.
