Chapter 462 - OREGON RACING COMMISSION
Division 200 - PARI-MUTUEL RULES AND REGULATIONS
Section 462-200-0665 - Pick (n) Position (x) Pools
Universal Citation: OR Admin Rules 462-200-0665
Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
(1) The Pick (n) Position (x) Pool requires selection of the first (x) finishers, in their exact positions, in each of a designated number of (n) contests. For example, in a Four Position Pool (x = 4), the bettor chooses four finishers in each contest. If the bettor has chosen "1, 2, 3 and 4", and the actual finishers are "4, 2, 3 and 1", the bettor has correctly chosen 2 positions [the second and third place finishers.]
(2) The licensee must obtain written approval from the Commission concerning the scheduling of Pick (n) Position (x) contests, the designation of one of the methods prescribed in subsection 3 and 6, the percentages of the net pool apportioned between the major share of the Position (x) Pool and the minor share(s) of the Position (x) Pool, and the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any changes to the approved Pick (n) Position (x) format require prior approval from the Commission.
(3) Unless otherwise stated, the major share of the net Pick (n) Position (x) Pool [hereafter, "Position (x) Pool"] shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in a minimum specified number of positions in the (n) contests (considered as a whole) that comprise the Position (x) Pool, based upon the official order of finish. The minimum specified number of positions may be all (x) positions in all (n) contests (for instance, four positions in each of six contests, for a total of 24 positions) or a lesser specified number (for instance, 22 or more accurate positions within the six contests taken as a whole.)
(4) The Pick (n) Position (x) Pool shall be apportioned under one of the following methods:
(a) Method 1, Position (x) With No Minor Pool
and No Carryover
(A) The net Position (x) Pool
shall be distributed in accordance with the method for distributing the major
share as described in subsection 2, above.
(B) If there are no wagers qualifying for the
major share, the net Position (x) Pool shall be distributed as a single price
pool to those who correctly selected finishers, in exact position, in the
greatest number of positions in Position (x) contests.
(C) If there are no winning wagers, the
entire pool shall be refunded on Position (x) wagers for those
contests.
(b) Method 2,
Position (x) With No Minor Pool and Carryover Instead of a Refund
(A) The net Position (x) Pool shall be
distributed in accordance with the method for distributing the major share as
described in subsection 2, above.
(B) If there are no wagers qualifying for the
major share, the net Position (x) Pool and the carryover shall be distributed
as a single price pool to those who correctly selected finishers, in exact
position, in the greatest number of positions in Position (x)
contests.
(C) If there are no
winning wagers, the net Position (x) Pool shall be added to the
carryover.
(c) Method 3,
Position (x) With No Minor Pool and Carryover
(A) The net Position (x) Pool shall be
distributed in accordance with the method for distributing the major share as
described in subsection 2, above.
(B) If there are no wagers qualifying for the
major share, the net Position (x) Pool shall be added to the
carryover.
(d) Method 4,
Position (x) With Minor Pool and No Carryover
(A) The major share of the net Position (x)
Pool shall be distributed in accordance with the method for distributing the
major share as described in subsection 2, above.
(B) The minor share of the net Position (x)
Pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who correctly
selected finishers, in exact position, in the greatest number of positions in
Position (x) contests (but less than the number of positions qualifying for the
major share), based upon the official order of finish.
(C) If there are no wagers qualifying for the
major share, the major share of the net Position (x) Pool shall be combined
with the minor share for distribution as a single price pool to those who
correctly selected finishers, in exact position, in the greatest number of
positions in Position (x) contests.
(D) If there are no wagers correctly
selecting any finishers, in exact position, in Position (x) contests, other
than winners of the major share of the net Position (x) Pool, the minor share
of the net Position (x) Pool shall be combined with the major share for
distribution as a single price pool to those who qualified for the major
share.
(E) If there are no winning
wagers, the pool shall be refunded on Position (x) wagers for those
contests.
(e) Method 5,
Position (x) With Minor Pool and Carryover
(A)
The major share of the net Position (x) Pool shall be distributed in accordance
with the method for distributing the major share as described in subsection 2,
above.
(B) The minor share of the
net Position (x) Pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who
correctly selected finishers, in exact position, in the greatest number of
positions in Position (x) contests (but less than the number of positions
qualifying for the major share), based upon the official order of
finish.
(C) If there are no wagers
qualifying for the major share, the minor share of the net Position (x) Pool
shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who correctly selected
finishers, in exact position, in the greatest number of positions in Position
(x) contests, and the major share shall be added to the carryover.
(D) If there are no wagers correctly
selecting any finishers, in exact position, other than winners of the major
share of the net Position (x) Pool, the minor share of the net Position (x)
Pool shall be combined with the major share for distribution as a single price
pool to those who qualified for the major share, or if there are no such
winning wagers, added to the carryover.
(f) Method 6, Position (x) With Minor Pool(s)
and Carryover
(A) The major share of the net
Position (x) Pool shall be distributed in accordance with the method for
distributing the major share as described in subsection 2, above.
(B) A principal minor share of the net
Position (x) Pool may be designated, and distributed as a single price pool, to
those who correctly selected finishers, in exact position, in the greatest
number of positions in Position (x) contests (but less than the number of
positions qualifying for the major share), based upon the official order of
finish.
(C) Additional minor shares
of the net Position (x) Pool may be designated, and distributed as single price
pools, to those who correctly selected the designated number, or range, of
finishers, in exact position, in Position (x) contests (but less than the
number of positions qualifying for the major share), based upon the official
order of finish.
(D) Those
qualifying for the principal minor share may also qualify for one of the
additional minor shares. When this occurs, the two unbroken prices shall be
summed before surcharging or rounding the prices for breakage. For example:
(i) Suppose there are $5 of wagers correctly
selecting 12 positions, $3 of wagers selecting 13 positions, and $2 of wagers
selecting 14 positions, and 14 is the greatest number of positions correctly
selected.
(ii) Suppose that the
principal minor share of the net pool is $20,000.16. Further, one of the other
minor shares is designated for a range of 12 to 15 positions, and this share of
the net pool is $10,000.80. (These amounts are chosen only to illustrate the
following steps.)
(iii) Then the
principal minor share is divided among those selecting 14 positions, and the
other minor share is divided among all the wagers selecting 12, 13, and 14
positions, so the 14-position winners receive the sum of two winning
prices.
(iv) The principal minor
share $20,000.16 divided among the $2 of 14 position winners yields an unbroken
price of $10,000.08 per dollar, and the other minor share $10,000.80 divided
among the $10 of 12, 13, and 14-position winners yields an unbroken price of
$1,000.08 per dollar.
(v) The sum
$10,000.08 + $1,000.08 = $11,000.16 is the combined unbroken price for choosing
14 finishers.
(vi) If the rounding
for breakage is to the next lower $0.10, the final broken prices are $11,000.10
for 14 finishers, and $1,000.00 for 12 or 13 finishers.
(E) The Commission shall approve the number
of minor shares, and the designated number, or range, of finishers, in exact
position, in Position (x) contests qualifying as the winning selection in any
such minor share.
(F) If there are
no wagers qualifying for the major share, the major share shall be added to the
carryover. If there are no wagers qualifying for a designated minor share, the
minor share of the net Position (x) Pool shall be combined with the major share
for distribution as a single price pool to those who qualified for the major
share, or if there are no such winning wagers, added to the
carryover.
(g) Method 7,
Position (x) With Minor Pool(s) Based Upon Any One Contest, and No Carryover
(A) The major share of the net Position (x)
Pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected all (x)
finishers, in exact position, in each (or a specified minimum number) of the
Position (x) contests, based upon the official order of finish.
(B) The minor shares of the net Position (x)
Pool shall be distributed as single price pools to those (including recipients
of the major share of the net Position (n) Pool) who selected all (x)
finishers, in exact position, in at least one of the Position (x) contests,
based upon the official order of finish, as follows:
(C) There may be separate minor pools for
those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in the most
Position (x) contests, those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact positions
of finish, in the second most position (x) contests, and so forth down to those
who selected all (x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in one position
(x) contest. Not all such minor shares need to be designated for the
wager.
(D) If there are no wagers
qualifying for the major share, the major share of the net Position (x) Pool
shall be combined with the highest level minor share for distribution as a
single price pool. If there are no wagers qualifying for a designated minor
share of the net Position (x) Pool, that minor share shall be combined with the
next (lower) minor share for distribution as a single price pool.
(E) If there are no winning wagers, the pool
is refunded.
(h) Method
8, Position (x) With Minor Pool(s) Based Upon Any One Contest, and Carryover
(A) The major share of the net Position (x)
Pool and the carryover, if any, shall be distributed as a single price pool to
those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in each (or a
specified minimum number) of the Position (x) contests, based upon the official
order of finish.
(B) The minor
shares of the net Position (x) Pool shall be distributed as single price pools
to those (including recipients of the major share of the net Position (x) Pool)
who selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in at least one of the
Position (x) contests, based upon the official order of finish, as
follows:
(C) There may be separate
minor pools for those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact positions of
finish, in the most Position (x) contests, those who selected all (n)
finishers, in exact positions of finish, in the second most Position (x)
contests, and so forth down to those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact
positions of finish, in one Position (x) contest. Not all such minor shares
need to be designated for the wager.
(D) If there are no wagers qualifying for the
major share, the major share shall be added to the carryover.
(E) If there are no wagers selecting all
finishers, in exact position, in a number of the Position (x) contests that
qualify for a designated minor share, that minor share of the net Position (n)
Pool shall also be added to the carryover.
(i) Method 9, Position (x) With Minor Pool(s)
Based Upon Any One Contest, and Carryover
(A)
The major share of the net Position (x) Pool and the carryover, if any, shall
be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected all (x) finishers,
in exact position, in each (or a specified minimum number) of the Position (x)
contests, based upon the official order of finish.
(B) The minor shares of the net Position (x)
Pool shall be distributed as single price pools to those (including recipients
of the major share of the net Position (x) Pool) who selected all (x)
finishers, in exact position, in at least one of the Position (x) contests,
based upon the official order of finish, as follows:
(C) There may be separate minor pools for
those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in the most
Position (x) contests, those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact positions
of finish, in the second most Position (x) contests, and so forth down to those
who selected all (x) finishers, in exact positions of finish, in one Position
(x) contest. Not all such minor shares need to be designated for the
wager.
(D) If there are no wagers
qualifying for the major share, the major share shall be added to the
carryover.
(E) If there are no
wagers selecting all finishers, in exact position, in a number of the Position
(x) contests that qualify for a designated minor share, that minor share of the
Position (x) Pool shall be added to the next (lower) minor share of the
Position (x) Pool. If there is no lower designated minor share of the Position
(x) Pool, the minor share shall also be added to the carryover.
(j) Method 10, Position (x) With
Minor Pool Based Upon Any One Contest, and Carryover; 100% Carryover if no
Winning Wagers
(A) The major share of the net
Position (x) Pool and the carryover, if any, shall be distributed as a single
price pool to those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in each
(or a specified minimum number) of the Position (x) contests, based upon the
official order of finish.
(B) The
minor share of the net Position (x) Pool shall be distributed as a single price
pool based upon the sum of the dollar value of wagers, for each of the Position
(x) contests considered separately, in which all (x) finishers, in exact
position, were correctly selected, based upon the official order of finish. The
minor share of the net Position (x) Pool shall be distributed as a single price
pool to those (including recipients of the major share of the net Position (x)
Pool) who selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in one or more of the
Position (x) contests. Each recipient of a minor share shall receive an amount
equal to the single price times the number of Position (x) contests in which
the recipient correctly selected the winning combination.
(C) If there are no wagers qualifying for the
major share, the major share shall be added to the carryover. If there are no
winning wagers, the minor share shall also be added to the carryover.
Method 11, Position X with Minor Pools and Carryover
(A) The net position (x) pool and
the carryover, if any, shall be distributed to any player who correctly selects
(x) finishers in specified positions in each of (n) contests, based upon the
official order of finish.
(B)
Minor shares shall be designated, and distributed as single price pools, to
those who correctly select the designated position(s) of finishers, in position
(x) contests, based upon the official order of finish, and any remainder shall
be added to the carryover.
(C) The
Commission shall approve the number of minor shares, and the designated
position(s) of finishers, in exact position, in Position (x) contests
qualifying as the winning selection(s) in any such minor share.
(D) If there are no wagers qualifying for the
major share, the major share shall be added to the carryover. If there are no
winning wagers, the minor share shall also be added to the
carryover.
(5) Apportionment of Net Position (x) Pool Between Major and Minor Pool(s) The commission shall approve the method of apportioning the net Position (x) Pool between winners of the Major share of the Position (x) Pool and winners of the Minor share(s) of the Position (x) Pool. Example (utilizing Method 8): A Four Position Pool (x = 4) consisting of 5 contests (n = 5.) The major share goes to those who correctly choose all 20 positions. Assume the Commission has approved three minor shares: The highest minor share goes to those who have picked all positions, in exact order, in 4 of the contests. The next minor share goes to those who have picked all positions, in exact order, in 3 of the contests. The final minor share goes to those who have picked all positions, in exact order, in 1 or 2 of the contests. One apportionment of payouts could be 40% of the net Position (x) pool for the major share, and 20% of the net Position (x) Pool for each of the three minor shares. Another apportionment of payouts could be 50% of the net Position (x) Pool for the major share, 25% for the highest minor share, 15% to the next minor share, and 10% to the final minor share.
(6) Dead Heats. In the event of a dead heat in any of the Position (x) contests, based upon the official order of finish:
(a) For purposes of determining whether a
wager correctly selected the finishers, in exact position, contestants in a
dead heat are deemed to jointly occupy both (or all) positions in the dead
heat. For example, if 5 and 6 finish in a dead heat for first, then a selection
of 5 for either first or second is correct, and a selection of 6 for either
first or second is also correct.
(b) Each share of the net Position (x) Pool
shall be distributed as a single price pool regardless of dead heats.
(7) Scratches
(a) If, due to a late scratch, the number of
betting interests in a contest of the Position (x) Pool is reduced to fewer
than (x), for purposes of the Position (x) Pool only, such contest shall be
declared "no contest" and the Position (x) Pool shall be subject to the rules
set forth in the "Cancelled Contests" section (subsection 7) of these
rules.
(b) Should a betting
interest in any contest of the Position (x) Pool be scratched or excused from
the contest, no more wagers shall be accepted selecting that scratched
contestant.
(c) Existing wagers
that select a scratched betting interest shall be handled under one of the
following methods. The Commission shall make its determination of which of
these alternatives shall apply at the time of approving the wagering pool,
which alternative shall remain in effect until and unless changed by the
Commission.
(A) Method 1, Substitute a higher
contestant number:
(i) The next higher live
contestant number that is not already part of the wager shall be substituted
for the scratched contestant number. If no higher contestant number is
eligible, the search shall then proceed upward from contestant number
1.
(ii) If a wager selects more
than one scratched contestant for a contest, the substitutions shall begin with
the lowest scratched contestant number in the wager and proceed in order to the
highest.
(iii) Substitution shall
be performed on the basis of single wagers, regardless of whether a wager was
placed as part of any type of multiple wager format such as "box" or
"wheel".
(iv) The totalizator shall
produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted
contestants that became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to
the normal winning combination.
(B) Method 2, Substitute favorite contestant
number:
(i) The actual favorite, as evidenced
by total amounts wagered in the Win pool at the close of wagering on that
contest, shall be substituted for the scratched contestant for all purposes,
including pool calculations.
(ii)
If the Win pool total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute
selection shall be the contestant with the lowest contestant number not already
selected in the wager as part of the contest.
(iii) If such favorite has already been
selected in the wager as part of the contest, the next favorite(s) shall be
used, as evidenced by the total amounts wagered in the Win pool, ordered from
the highest amount to the lowest.
(iv) If a wager selects more than one
scratched contestant for a contest, the substitutions shall begin with the
lowest scratched contestant number in the wager and proceed in order to the
highest.
(v) Substitution shall be
performed on the basis of single wagers, regardless of whether a wager was
placed as part of any type of multiple wager format such as "box" or
"wheel".
(vi) The totalizator shall
produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted
contestants that became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to
the normal winning combination.
(C) Method 3, Scratched contestant wins
(i) The scratched contestant is deemed to be
a correct selection of a winning finisher, for purposes of the Position (x)
Pool only.
(ii) The totalizator
shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations that became
winners as a result of the scratched contestants, in addition to the normal
winning combination.
(D)
Method 4, Scratched contestant loses:
(i) The
scratched contestant is deemed to be a loser, for purposes of the Position (x)
Pool only.
(ii) Other correctly
selected finishers in a wager shall continue to count toward winning, as
usual.
(8) Cancelled Contests
(a) If any of the Position (x) contests are
cancelled or declared "no contest" prior to the first Position (x) contest
being declared official, the entire Position (x) Pool shall be refunded on
Position (x) wagers for those contests.
(b) If all remaining Position (x) contests
are cancelled or declared "no contest" after the first Position (x) contest is
declared official, the entire net Position (x) Pool, but not the Position (x)
carryover, shall be distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the
winning combination in the first Position (x) contest. However, if there are no
wagers selecting the winning combination in the first Position (x) contest, the
entire Position (x) Pool shall be refunded on Position (x) wagers for those
contests.
(c) If any of the
remaining Position (x) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" after
the first Position (x) contest is declared official, the net Position (x) pool
shall be distributed in accordance with rules governing distribution of the
minor share(s) where there is no winner of the major share. If there is more
than one minor share, the entire net Position (x) pool, but not the Position
(x) carryover, shall be divided amongst the minor share(s), in accordance with
the Apportionment section (subsection 3) of these rules, in proportion to the
designated percentages, or by some other method approved by the
Commission.
(d) If any of the
remaining Position (x) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" after
the first Position (x) contest is declared official, and the net Position (x)
pool has been designated for distribution in accordance with the Mandatory
Distribution section (subsection 10) of these rules, the rules governing
mandatory distribution shall apply.
(9) Carryover Cap. The Position (x) carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the Commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the Position (x) carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the Position (x) carryover will be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of these Position (x) rules. After the Position (x) carryover is frozen, the part of the net pool that ordinarily would be added to the Position (x) carryover shall be distributed to those whose selection finished in the highest level of the minor share(s) of the Position (x) Pool for that performance.
(10) Mandatory Distribution
(a) A written request for permission to
distribute the Position (x) carryover on a specific performance may be
submitted to the Commission. The request shall contain justification for the
mandatory distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the
intended date and performance for the distribution. The licensee must notify
the Commission at least 10 days prior to implementation. If the Position (x)
Pool cannot be distributed during a designated performance, the mandatory
distribution shall resume on the next approved mandatory distribution
performance.
(b) If the Position
(x) carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and
performance, and if there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, then
the following precedence shall be followed in determining winning wagers for
the net Position (x) Pool and the carryover pool:
(A) If the method chosen in subsection 3 is
method 7, 8, 9, or 10, then:
(B)
The major share and the Position (x) carryover shall be distributed as a single
price pool to those who selected all (x) finishers, in exact position, in the
most individual Position (x) contests, based upon the official order of finish.
Designated minor shares may still be awarded.
(C) If the method chosen in subsection 3 is
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, then:
(D) The
major share and the Position (x) carryover shall be distributed as a single
price pool to those who correctly selected the most finishers, in their exact
positions, in the Position (x) contests, based upon the official order of
finish. Designated minor shares may still be awarded.
(E) If there are no wagers that qualified for
distribution of the major share, then all Position (x) tickets shall become
winners and share 100% of that performance's net Position (x) Pool and the
Position (x) carryover pool as a single price pool.
(c) The Position (x) carryover shall be
designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the
following circumstances:
(A) Upon written
approval from the Commission (as provided in subsection 10a) of the Position
(x) rules.
(B) Upon written
approval from the Commission when there is a change in the carryover cap or
when the Position (x) wager is discontinued.
(C) On the closing performance of the
meet.
(d) If, for any
reason, the Position (x) carryover must be held over to the corresponding
Position (x) Pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an
interest-bearing account approved by the Commission. The Position (x) carryover
plus accrued interest shall then be added to the net Position (x) Pool of the
following meet on a date and performance so designated by the
Commission.
(11) Coupled entries and mutuel fields
(a) Coupled entries
and mutuel fields may be permitted in Position (x) contests with the written
approval of the Commission.
(b)
Contestants coupled in wagering as a coupled entry or mutuel field shall be
considered part of a single betting interest for the purpose of price
calculations and distribution of Position (x) Pools. Should any contestant in a
coupled entry or mutuel field be officially withdrawn or scratched, the
remaining contestants in that coupled entry or mutuel field shall remain valid
betting interests and no refunds will be granted. If all contestants within a
coupled entry or mutuel field are scratched, then the Scratches section
(subsection 6) of these rules shall apply.
(c) For the purpose of Position (x) price
calculations only, coupled entries and mutuel fields shall be calculated as a
single finishing contestant, using the finishing position of the leading
contestant in that coupled entry or mutuel field to determine order of placing.
This rule shall apply to all circumstances, including situations involving a
dead heat. For example, if the actual order of finish in a contest is
1/2/1A/3/4, then the finishers used for that contest of the Position (x) would
be 1/2/3/4.
(12) With the written approval of the Commission, the licensee may contribute to the Position (x) carryover, or to the major or minor share(s) of the Position (x) Pool, a sum of money up to the amount of any designated cap.
(13) The Team Wager Pool
(a) The Team Wager Pool requires selection of
a designated "team" in each of a designated number of contests. Winning bets
shall be determined based upon the official order of finish in each contest and
the standing of each team with respect to the official order of finish. For
purposes of the Team Wager, finishers from the same team shall be bracketed
together to determine a single betting interest, as set forth in Part
3.
(b) Prior to the start of the
contests that comprise the Team Wager, all participants in each of the contests
shall be divided by the association between or among each of the Team Wager
teams, and the roster of each team made public, as well as the number of points
to be awarded to the team whose member is the first finisher in a designated
contest, the second finisher, and so forth until no more points are awarded in
that contest.
(c) At the conclusion
of all contests that comprise the Team Wager, the number of points for each
team shall be compiled, and the team with the most points shall be declared the
"winning team."
(d) The Team Wager
pool shall be apportioned under either of the following methods:
(A) Winning Margins Team Wager
(i) In the "Winning Margins Team Wager", the
total number of points awarded in the Team Wager shall be divided by the
association into a series of brackets comprised of a series of point ranges
("winning margin") by which one team (Team A) might defeat the other team (Team
B); a series of point ranges by which Team B might defeat Team A; and a tie
between the teams. Each bracket shall constitute a separate betting interest in
the Winning Margins Team Wager.
(ii) The net Winning Margins Team Wager pool
shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the correct
bracket. If there are no wagers selecting the correct bracket, the entire pool
shall be refunded.
(iii) Example:
Points are assigned to each of the first four finishers in each contest [four
points for the first finisher down to one point for the fourth finisher, for a
total of 10 points awarded in each contest], based upon the official order of
finish, with a total of six contests in the Team Wager, resulting in a total of
60 points in all. The brackets could be designated as: The Association of
Racing Commissioners International Model Rules of Racing Page 113 Version 9.1,
August 2019
(1) Team A's winning margin is
1-10 points 11-20 points 21-30 points 31-40 points 41-50 points 51-60
points
(2) Team B's winning margin
is 1-10 points 11-20 points 21-30 points 31-40 points 41-50 points 51-60
points
(3) The two teams tie, and
the margin is 0 Points
(4) In this
example, there are 13 separate betting interests.
(5) If, in this example, finishers
representing Team A come in 1st and 3rd in one contest, and finishers
representing Team B come in 2nd and 4th in that contest, Team A would have
4+2=6 points and Team B would have 3+1=4 points. The current winning margin
(after this first contest) would be Team A by 2 points.)
(B) Team Double Wager
(i) In the "Team Double Wager", the
commission shall approve two different methods of determining the winning
tickets qualifying for a share of the net pool.
(ii) The commission shall also approve the
manner of apportioning the net Team Double Wager pool, and the conditions under
which the pool shall be refunded or otherwise apportioned if there are no
winning wagers.
(iii) Example: A
"daily-double"-style pool consisting of having to correctly select the bracket
of the winning margin, as above, as well as a bracket based upon and including
the total points achieved by the winning team.
(e) Brackets
(A) The brackets may be comprised of the
margins by which the winning team defeats the team that finishes second; the
total number of points achieved by the winning team; or other method of
determining the brackets, as approved by the commission.
(B) Such factors as the number of teams in
the Team Wager; the method by which teams are designated; the number of points
to be awarded in each contest; the number of contests comprising the Team
Wager; and the method by which the "brackets" constituting each betting
interest in the Team Wager are designated, shall all be subject to approval of
the commission.
(f)
Coupled Entries; Fields. With approval of the commission, coupled entries may
be permitted in contests comprising the Team Wager, but may only participate as
part of the same Team. With approval of the commission, fields may be permitted
in contests comprising the Team Wager, but may only participate as part of the
same Team.
(g) Dead Heat. If there
is a dead heat including any finisher(s) for which points are awarded in the
Team Wager, the total amount of points in the dead heat positions shall be
combined and divided equally amongst the betting interests that have finished
in the dead heat.
(h) Scratches.
The Association of Racing Commissioners International Model Rules of Racing
Page 114 Version 9.1, August 2019
(A) Should
an entry in any contest of the Team Wager be scratched or excused from the
contest, all money wagered on combinations including this entry shall remain in
the Team Wager pool and the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value
of any distribution evidenced by the ticket containing the scratched betting
interest.
(B) If, due to a scratch
or excused entry, the number of entries assigned to a team in a contest of the
Team Wager is reduced to fewer than the number of positions in the final order
of finish for which the team is eligible to receive points, for purposes of the
Team Wager pool such contest shall be declared "no contest" and wagers
involving any betting interests that are no longer capable of being achieved
shall be refunded.
