8.1.d. The Racing Commission shall establish minimum payouts and the method used for calculating breakage.

8.1.e. The individual pools outlined in this rule may be given alternative names by each association, provided prior approval is obtained from the Racing Commission.

8.2. Win Pools.

8.2.a. The amount wagered on the betting interest, which finishes first, is deducted from the net pool and the balance remaining is the profit. The profit is divided by the amount wagered on the betting interest finishing first, and the quotient is the profit per dollar wagered to Win on that betting interest.

8.2.b. The net Win pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:

8.2.b.1. To those whose selection finished first; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.2.b.2. To those whose selection finished second; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.2.b.3. To those whose selection finished third; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.2.b.4. The entire pool shall be refunded on Win wagers for that contest.

8.3. Place Pools.

8.3.a. The amounts wagered to Place on the first two betting interests to finish shall be deducted from the net pool and the balance remaining is the profit. The profit is divided into two equal portions, with one assigned to each winning betting interest and divided by the amount wagered to Place on that betting interest. The resulting quotient is the profit per dollar wagered to Place on that betting interest.

8.3.b. The net Place pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:

8.3.b.1. If contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finished in the first two places, as a single price pool to those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field; otherwise

8.3.b.3. As a single price pool to those who selected the one covered betting interest included within the first two finishers; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.3.b.4. As a single price pool to those who selected the third-place finisher; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.3.b.5. The entire pool shall be refunded on Place wagers for that contest.

8.3.c. If there is a dead heat for first involving:

8.3.c.1. Contestants representing the same betting interest, the Place pool shall be distributed as a single price pool; or

8.3.e. An example of a Place pool, standard price calculation, shall be found in Table 178-5D at the end of this rule.

8.4. Show Pools.

8.4.a. The amounts wagered to Show on the first three betting interests to finish shall be deducted from the net pool and the balance remaining is the profit. The profit is divided into three equal portions, with one assigned to each winning betting interest and divided by the amount wagered to Show on that betting interest. The resulting quotient is the profit per dollar wagered to Show on that betting interest.

8.4.b. The net Show pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:

8.4.b.1. If contestants of a coupled entry or mutuel field finished in the first three places, as a single price pool to those who selected the coupled entry or mutuel field; otherwise

8.4.b.5. As a single price pool to those who selected the one covered betting interest included within the first three finishers; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.4.b.6. As a single price pool to those who selected the fourth-place finisher; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.4.c.2. Three contestants representing a single betting interest, the Show pool shall be distributed as a single price pool; or

8.4.c.3. Contestants representing two or more betting interests, the Show pool shall be distributed as a profit split.

8.5.c. If there is a dead heat for first in either of the two contests involving:

8.5.c.1. Contestants representing the same betting interest, the Double pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred; or

8.5.e. If a betting interest in the second-half of the Double is scratched prior to the close of wagering on the first Double contest, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the Double pool and refunded.

8.5.f. If a betting interest in the second-half of the Double is scratched after the close of wagering on the first Double contest, all wagers combining the winner of the first contest with the scratched betting interest in the second contest shall be allocated a consolation payout. In calculating the consolation payout the net Double pool shall be divided by the total amount wagered on the winner of the first contest and an unbroken consolation price obtained.

Breakage shall not be declared in this calculation. The consolation payout shall be deducted from the net Double pool before calculation and distribution of the winning Double payout. Dead heats including separate betting interests in the first contest shall result in a consolation payout calculated as a profit split.

8.6.c. If there is a dead heat for first in any of the three contests involving:

8.6.c.1. Contestants representing the same betting interest, the Pick Three pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred; or

8.6.c.2. Contestants representing two or more betting interests, the Pick Three pool shall be distributed as follows:

8.6.d. If a betting interest in any of the three (3) Pick Three contests is scratched, all bets with the scratched betting interest shall be handled as follows:

8.6.d.1. If the scratch (which hereinafter includes being declared a non-starter or a non-betting starter) was made prior to the start of the first contest, all bets containing such scratched betting interest shall be refunded to determine the gross pool and removed from further consideration in the pool.

8.6.d.2. If the scratch was made in the second contest after the start of the first contest, a consolation payoff shall be computed for those bets combining the winners of the first and third contests with the scratched betting interest as follows: from the gross pool shall be deducted the statutory take-out and then the amount represented by the bets on combinations involving betting interests scratched from the third contest (reduced by the take-out thereon). The resulting remainder shall be divided by the amounts bet on the combination of such first and third contest winners with all betting interests (less breaks) to determine the consolation price per dollar payable to those bets combining winners of the first and third contests with the betting interest scratched in the second leg. The break shall not be deducted from the pool.

8.6.d.3. If a betting interest is scratched in the third contest after the start of the first contest, a consolation payoff shall be computed as for those bets combining the winners of the first and second contests with such scratched betting interest as follows: from the gross pool shall be deducted the statutory take-out and then the amount represented by bets on combinations involving betting interests scratched from the second contest (reduced by the rate of the take-out thereon). The resulting remainder shall be divided by the amount bet on the combination of such first and second contest winners with all betting interests in the third contest (less breaks) to determine the consolation price per dollar payable to those bets combining winners of the first and second contests with a betting interest scratched in the third contest. The breaks shall not be deducted from the pool.

8.6.d.4. If betting interests are scratched in both the second and third contests after the start of the first contest, a consolation payoff shall be computed for those bets combining the winner of the first contest with the betting interests scratched in both the second and third contests as follows: from the gross pool shall be deducted the takeout and the remainder shall be divided by the amount bet on the winner of the first contest combined with all other betting interests (less breaks) to determine the consolation price per dollar payable to those tickets combining the winner of the first leg with the scratch betting interests from both the second and third contests.

8.6.e. If all three Pick Three contests are canceled or declared "no contest", the entire pool shall be refunded on Pick Three wagers for those contests.

8.6.f. If one or two of the Pick Three contests are canceled or declared "no contest", the Pick Three pool shall remain valid and shall be distributed in accordance with subdivision 8.6.b. of this subsection.

8.7. Pick (n) Pools.

8.7.a. The Pick (n) requires selection of the first-place finisher in each of a designated number of contests, which shall be no fewer than four (4). The association shall obtain written approval from the Racing Commission concerning the scheduling of Pick (n) contests, the designation of one of the methods prescribed in subdivision 8.7.b. of this subsection and the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any changes to the approved Pick (n) format require prior approval from the Racing Commission.

8.7.b. The Pick (n) pool shall be apportioned under one of the following methods:

8.7.b.1. Method 1, Pick (n) with Carryover: The net Pick (n) pool and carryover, if any, shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no such wagers, then a designated percentage of the net pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests; and the remainder shall be added to the carryover.

8.7.b.2. Method 2, Pick (n) with Minor Pool Carryover: The major share of the net Pick (n) pool and the carryover, if any, shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in the second greatest number of Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher of all Pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests; and the major share shall be added to the carryover.

8.7.b.3. Method 3, Pick (n) with No Minor Pool and No Carryover: The net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no winning wagers, the pool shall be refunded.

8.7.b.4. Method 4, Pick (n) with Minor Pool and No Carryover: The major share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first place finisher in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in the second greatest number of Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in a second greatest number of Pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be combined with the major share for distribution as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests. If the greatest number of first-place finishers selected is one (1), the major and minor shares are combined for distribution as a single price pool. If there are no winning wagers, the pool shall be refunded.

8.7.b.5. Method 5, Pick (n) with Minor Pool and No Carryover: The major share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. The minor share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in the second greatest number of Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in all Pick (n) contests, the entire net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in a second greatest number of Pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be combined with the major share for distribution as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests. If there are no winning wagers, the pool shall be refunded.

8.7.b.6. Method 6, Pick (n) with "Unique Winning Ticket": The major share of the net Pick (n) pool and carryover, if any, shall be distributed to the holder of a unique winning ticket that selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. In the event of a unique winning ticket, the minor share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed to those who selected the first-place finisher in the second greatest number of Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there is no unique winning ticket selecting the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests, or if there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher of all Pick (n) contests, the minor share of the net Pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who selected the first-place finisher in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests, and the major share shall be added to the carryover. "Unique winning ticket," as used in this paragraph, shall be defined as having occurred when there is one and only one winning ticket that correctly selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, to be verified by the unique serial number assigned by the tote company that issued the winning ticket. In the event that there is more than one winning ticket that correctly selected the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, the unique winning ticket shall be deemed to not have occurred.

8.7.c. If there is a dead heat for first in any of the Pick (n) contests involving:

8.7.c.1. Contestants representing the same betting interest, the Pick (n) pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred; or

8.7.c.2. Contestants representing two or more betting interests, the Pick (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool with each winning wager receiving an equal share of the profit.

8.7.d. If a betting interest in any of the Pick (n) contests is scratched, the actual favorite, as evidenced by total amounts wagered in the Win Pool at the host association for the contest at the close of wagering on that contest, shall be substituted for the scratched betting interest for all purposes, including pool calculations. In the event that the Win pool total for two or more favorites is identical, the substitute selection shall be the betting interest with the lowest program number. The totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted betting interests, which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal wining combinations.

8.7.e. The Pick (n) pool shall be canceled and all Pick (n) wagers for the individual performance shall be refunded if:

8.7.e.1. At least three (3) contests included as part of a Pick 4, Pick 5 or Pick 6 are canceled or declared "no contest";

8.7.e.2. At least four (4) contests included as part of a Pick 7, Pick 8 or Pick 9 are canceled or declared "no contest"; or

8.7.e.3. At least five (5) contests included as part of a Pick 10 are canceled or declared "no contest".

8.7.f. If at least one (1) contest included as part of a Pick (n) is canceled or declared "no contest", but not more than the number specified in subdivision 8.7.e. of this subsection, the net pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests for that performance. The distribution shall include the portion ordinarily retained for the Pick (n) carryover but not the carryover from previous performances.

8.7.g. The Pick (n) carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the Racing Commission so that if, at the close of any performance, the amount in the Pick (n) carryover equals or exceeds the designated cap, the Pick (n) carryover shall be frozen until it is won or distributed under other provisions of this rule. After the Pick (n) carryover is frozen, one hundred percent (100%) of the net pool, part of which ordinarily would be added to the Pick (n) carryover, shall be distributed to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests for that performance.

8.7.h. A written request for permission to distribute the Pick (n) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the Commission. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for distribution.

8.7.i. If the Pick (n) carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance in which there are no wagers selecting the first-place finisher in each of the Pick (n) contests, the entire pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in the greatest number of Pick (n) contests. The Pick (n) carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:

8.7.i.1. Upon written approval from the Racing Commission as provided in subdivision 8.7.h. of this subsection;

8.7.i.2. Upon written approval from the Racing Commission when there is a change in the carryover cap, a change from one type of Pick (n) wagering to another, or when the Pick (n) is discontinued; or

8.7.i.3. On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.

8.7.j. If, for any reason, the Pick (n) carryover must be held over to the corresponding Pick (n) pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the Racing Commission. The Pick (n) carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the net Pick (n) pool of the following meet on a date and performance designated by the Racing Commission.

8.7.k. With the written approval of the Racing Commission, the association may contribute to the Pick (n) carryover a sum of money up to the amount of any designated cap.

8.7.l. No one shall receive information pertaining to covered combinations, amounts wagered on combinations, the number of tickets sold, or the number of live tickets remaining. This subdivision does not preclude access to any and all necessary information needed by totalisator employees, pari-mutuel department employees, or Racing Commission employees in order to discharge their proscribed duties.

8.7.m. The association may suspend previously approved Pick (n) wagering with the prior approval of the Racing Commission. Any carryover shall be held until the suspended Pick (n) wagering is reinstated. An association may request approval of a Pick (n) wager or separate wagering pool for specific performances.

8.7.n. An example of a Pick (n) pool, net price calculation, shall be found in Table 178-5I at the end of this rule.

8.7.o. Place Pick (n) Pools.

8.7.o.1. The Place Pick (n) requires selection of the first or second-place finisher in each of a designated number of contests.

After the second-half Twin Superfecta carryover is frozen, one hundred percent (100%) of the net Twin Superfecta pool for each individual contest shall be distributed to winners of the first-half of the Twin Superfecta pool.

8.17.o. A written request for permission to distribute the Twin Superfecta carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the Racing Commission. The request must contain justification for the distribution, an explanation of the benefit to be derived, and the intended date and performance for the distribution.

8.17.p. If the Twin Superfecta carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence will be followed in determining winning tickets for the second-half of the Twin Superfecta after completion of the first-half of the Twin Superfecta:

8.17.p.1. As a single price pool to those whose combination finished in correct sequence as the first four betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.17.p.2. As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first three betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.17.p.3. As a single price pool to those whose combination included, in correct sequence, the first two betting interests; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.17.p.4. As a single price pool to those whose combination correctly selected the first-place betting interest only; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.17.p.5. As a single price pool to holders of valid exchange tickets.

8.17.p.6. As a single price pool to holders of outstanding first-half winning tickets.

8.17.q. Contrary to subdivision 8.17.d. of this subsection, during a performance designated to distribute the Twin Superfecta carryover, exchange tickets shall be issued for those combinations selecting the greatest number of betting interests in their correct order of finish for the first-half of the Twin Superfecta. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first-, second-, third- and fourth-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first-, second- and third-place betting interests. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first-, second-, and third-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first- and second-place betting interests. If there are no wagers correctly selecting the first- and second-place finishers, in their exact order, then exchange tickets shall be issued for combinations correctly selecting the first-place betting interest only. If there are no wagers selecting the first-place betting interest only in the first-half of the Twin Superfecta, all first-half tickets shall become winners and shall receive one hundred percent (100%) of that performance's net Twin Superfecta pool and any existing Twin Superfecta carryover as a single price pool.

8.17.r. The Twin Superfecta carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:

8.17.r.1. Upon written approval from the Racing Commission as provided in subdivision 8.17.o. of this subsection;

8.17.r.2. Upon written approval from the Racing Commission when there is a change in the carryover cap or when the Twin Superfecta is discontinued; or

8.17.r.3. On the closing performance of the meet or split meet.

8.17.s. If, for any reason, the Twin Superfecta carryover must be held over to the corresponding Twin Superfecta pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the Racing Commission. The Twin Superfecta carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the second-half Twin Superfecta pool of the following meet on a date and performance designated by the Racing Commission.

8.17.t. No one shall receive information pertaining to covered combinations, amounts wagered on combinations, the number of tickets sold, or the number of valid exchange tickets. This subdivision does not preclude access to any and all necessary information needed by totalisator employees, pari-mutuel department employees, or Racing Commission employees in order to discharge their proscribed duties.

8.17.u. The association shall obtain written approval from the Racing Commission concerning the scheduling of Twin Superfecta contests, the percentages of the net pool added to the first-half pool and second-half pool, and the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover. Any changes to the Twin Superfecta format require prior approval from the Racing Commission.

8.18. Exacta (n).

8.18.a. The Exacta (n) requires selection of the first two finishers, in their exact order, in each of a designated number of contests. The association must obtain written approval from the Racing Commission concerning the scheduling of Exacta (n) contests, the designation of one of the methods prescribed in subdivision 18.18.b. of this subsection, and the amount of any cap to be set on the carryover.

8.18.d. Scratches.

8.18.d.1. Should a betting interest in any contest of the Exacta (n) be scratched or excused from the contest prior to the first Exacta (n) contest being declared official, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the Exacta (n) pool and refunded.

8.18.d.2. Should a betting interest in any contest of the Exacta (n) be scratched or excused from the contest after the first Exacta (n) contest has been declared official, all money wagered on combinations including this betting interest shall remain in the Exacta (n) pool and the ticket holder may still collect the monetary value of any distribution evidenced by the ticket containing the scratched betting interest.

8.18.d.3. If, due to a late scratch, the number of betting interests in a contest of the Exacta (n) is reduced to fewer than two, for purposes of the Exacta (n) such contest shall be declared "no contest" and the Exacta (n) pool shall be subject to the rules set forth in subdivision 8.18.e. of this subsection.

8.18.e. Cancelled Contests.

8.18.e.1. If any of the Exacta (n) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" prior to the first Exacta (n) contest being declared official, the entire Exacta (n) pool shall be refunded on Exacta (n) wagers for those contests.

8.18.e.2. If all remaining Exacta (n) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" after the first Exacta (n) contest is declared official, the net Exacta (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the winning combination in the first Exacta (n) contest, but not the Exacta (n) carryover. However, if there are no wagers selecting the winning combination in the first Exacta (n) contest, the entire Exacta (n) pool shall be refunded on Exacta (n) wagers for those contests.

8.18.e.3. If any of the remaining Exacta (n) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" after the first Exacta (n) is declared official, the net Exacta (n) pool shall be distributed in accordance with this rule governing distribution of the minor share where there is no winner of the major share.

8.18.f. Mandatory Distribution.

8.18.f.1. A written request for permission to distribute the Exacta (n) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the Racing 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 association must notify the Racing Commission at least ten (10) days prior to implementation. If the Exacta (n) pool cannot be distributed during a designated performance, the mandatory distribution shall resume on the next scheduled mandatory distribution performance.

8.18.f.2. If the Exacta (n) carryover is designated for distribution on a specified date and performance, the following precedence shall be followed in determining winning tickets for the net Exacta (n) pool and the carryover pool:

8.18.f.2.A. As a single price pool to those who selected the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in each of the Exacta (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no wagers selecting the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in all Exacta (n) contests, then

8.18.f.2.B. As a single price pool to those who selected the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in at least one of the Exacta (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish.

8.18.f.2.C. If there are no wagers which correctly selected the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in at least one of the Exacta (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish, then all Exacta (n) tickets shall become winners and receive one hundred percent (100%) of that performance's net Exacta (n) pool and the Exacta (n) carryover pool as a single price pool.

8.18.g. If, for any reason, the Exacta (n) carryover must be held over to the corresponding Exacta (n) pool of a subsequent meet, the carryover shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account approved by the Racing Commission. The Exacta (n) carryover plus accrued interest shall then be added to the net Exacta (n) pool of the following meet on a date and performance so designated by the Racing Commission.

8.19. Pick (n) Position (x) Pools.

8.19.a. 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 (4) 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 two (2) positions [the second and third place finishers.]

8.19.b. The association must obtain written approval from the Racing Commission concerning the scheduling of Pick (n) Position (x) contests, the designation of one of the methods prescribed in subdivisions 8.19.d. and 8.19.e of this subsection, 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 Racing Commission.

8.19.c. 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 (4) positions in each of six (6) contests, for a total of twenty-four (24) positions) or a lesser specified number (for instance, twenty-two (22) or more accurate positions within the six (6) contests taken as a whole.)

8.19.d. The Pick (n) Position (x) pool shall be apportioned under one of the following methods:

8.19.d.1. Method 1, Position (x) With No Minor Pool and No Carryover:

8.19.d.2.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.

8.19.d.2.C. If there are no winning wagers, the net Position (x) pool shall be added to the carryover.

8.19.d.3. Method 3, Position (x) With No Minor Pool and Carryover:

8.19.d.3.A. The net Position (x) pool shall be distributed in accordance with the method for distributing the major share as described in subdivision 8.19.c. of this subsection.

8.19.d.3.B. If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the net Position (x) pool shall be added to the carryover.

8.19.d.4. Method 4, Position (x) With Minor Pool and No Carryover:

8.19.d.4.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 subdivision 8.19.c. of this subsection.

8.19.d.4.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.

8.19.d.4.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.

8.19.d.4.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.

8.19.d.4.E. If there are no winning wagers, the pool shall be refunded on Position (x) wagers for those contests.

8.19.d.5. Method 5, Position (x) With Minor Pool and Carryover:

8.19.d.5.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 subdivision 8.19.c. of this subsection.

8.19.d.5.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.

8.19.d.5.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.

8.19.d.5.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.

8.19.d.6. Method 6, Position (x) With Minor Pool(s) and Carryover:

8.19.d.6.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 subdivision 8.19.c. of this subsection.

8.19.d.6.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.

8.19.d.6.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.

8.19.d.6.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:

8.19.d.6.D.1. Assume that there are five dollars ($5.00) of wagers correctly selecting twelve (12) positions, three dollars ($3.00) of wagers selecting thirteen (13) positions, and two dollars ($2.00) of wagers selecting fourteen (14) positions, and fourteen (14) is the greatest number of positions correctly selected.

8.19.d.6.D.2. Assume that the principal minor share of the net pool is twenty thousand dollars and sixteen cents ($20,000.16). Further, one of the other minor shares is designated for a range of twelve (12) to fifteen (15) positions, and this share of the net pool is ten thousand dollars and eighty cents ($10,000.80).

8.19.d.6.D.3. Then the principal minor share is divided among those selecting fourteen (14) positions, and the other minor share is divided among all the wagers selecting twelve (12), thirteen (13), and fourteen (14) positions, so the fourteen (14) - position winners receives the sum of two (2) winning prices.

8.19.d.6.D.4. The principal minor share of twenty thousand dollars and sixteen cents ($20,000.16) divided among the two dollars ($2.00) of fourteen (14) - position winners yields an unbroken price of ten thousand dollars and eight cents ($10,000.08) per dollar, and the other minor share of ten thousand dollars and eighty cents ($10,000.80) divided among the ten dollars ($10.00) of twelve (12), thirteen (13), and fourteen (14) - position winners yields an unbroken price of one thousand dollars and eight cents ($1,000.08) per dollar.

8.19.d.6.D.5. The sum ten thousand dollars and eight cents ($10,000.08) plus one thousand dollars and eight cents ($1,000.08) equals eleven thousand dollars and sixteen cents ($11,000.16) is the combined unbroken price for choosing fourteen (14) finishers.

8.19.d.6.D.6. If the rounding for breakage is to the next lower ten cents (10¢), the final broken prices are eleven thousand dollars and ten cents ($11,000.10) for fourteen (14) finishers, and one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for twelve (12) or thirteen (13) finishers.

8.19.d.6.E. The Racing 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.

8.19.d.6.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.

8.19.d.7. Method 7, Position (x) With Minor Pool(s) Based Upon Any One Contest, and No Carryover:

8.19.d.7.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.

8.19.d.7.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:

8.19.d.7.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.

8.19.d.7.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.

8.19.d.7.E. If there are no winning wagers, the pool is refunded.

8.19.d.8. Method 8, Position (x) With Minor Pool(s) Based Upon Any One Contest, and Carryover:

8.19.d.8.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.

8.19.d.8.B.

8.19.d.8.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.

8.19.d.8.D. If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the major share shall be added to the carryover.

8.19.d.8.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.

8.19.d.9. Method 9, Position (x) With Minor Pool(s) Based Upon Any One Contest, and Carryover:

8.19.d.9.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.

8.19.d.9.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:

8.19.d.9.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.

8.19.d.9.D. If there are no wagers qualifying for the major share, the major share shall be added to the carryover.

8.19.d.9.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.

8.19.d.10. Method 10, Position (x) With Minor Pool Based Upon Any One Contest, and Carryover; One Hundred Percent (100%) Carryover if no Winning Wagers:

8.19.d.10.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.

8.19.d.10.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.

8.19.d.10.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.

8.19.e. Apportionment of Net Position (x) Pool Between Major and Minor Pool(s). The Racing 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 five (5) contests (n = 5.) The major share goes to those who correctly choose all twenty (20) positions. Assume the Racing Commission has approved three minor shares: The highest minor share goes to those who have picked all positions, in exact order, in four (4) of the contests. The next minor share goes to those who have picked all positions, in exact order, in three (3) of the contests. The final minor share goes to those who have picked all positions, in exact order, in one (1) or two (2) of the contests. One apportionment of payouts could be forty percent (40%) of the net Position (x) pool for the major share, and twenty (20%) of the net Position (x) pool for each of the three (3) minor shares. Another apportionment of payouts could be fifty percent (50%) of the net Position (x) pool for the major share, twenty-five percent (25%) for the highest minor share, fifteen percent (15%) to the next minor share, and ten percent (10%) to the final minor share.

8.19.f. Dead Heats. In the event of a dead heat in any of the Position (x) contests, based upon the official order of finish:

8.19.f.1. 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 five (5) and six (6) finish in a dead heat for first, then a selection of five (5) for either first or second is correct, and a selection of six (6) for either first or second is also correct.

8.19.f.2. Each share of the net Position (x) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool regardless of dead heats.

8.19.g. Scratches.

8.19.g.1. 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 subdivision 8.19.h. of this subsection.

8.19.g.2. 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.

8.19.g.3. Existing wagers that select a scratched betting interest shall be handled under one of the following methods. The Racing 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 Racing Commission.

8.19.g.3.A. Method 1, Substitute a higher contestant number:

8.19.g.3.A.1. 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 one (1).

8.19.g.3.A.2. 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.

8.19.g.3.A.3. 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".

8.19.g.3.A.4. The totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted contestants which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination.

8.19.g.3.B. Method 2, Substitute favorite contestant number:

8.19.g.3.B.1. 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.

8.19.g.3.B.2. 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.

8.19.g.3.B.3. 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.

8.19.g.3.B.4. 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.

8.19.g.3.B.5. 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".

8.19.g.3.B.6. The totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations with substituted contestants which became winners as a result of the substitution, in addition to the normal winning combination.

8.19.g.3.C. Method 3, Scratched contestant wins:

8.19.g.3.C.1. The scratched contestant is deemed to be a correct selection of a winning finisher, for purposes of the Position (x) pool only.

8.19.g.3.C.2. The totalisator shall produce reports showing each of the wagering combinations which became winners as a result of the scratched contestants, in addition to the normal winning combination.

8.19.g.3.D. Method 4, Scratched contestant loses:

8.19.g.3.D.1. The scratched contestant is deemed to be a loser, for purposes of the Position (x) pool only.

8.19.g.3.D.2. Other correctly selected finishers in a wager shall continue to count toward winning, as usual.

8.19.h. Cancelled Contests.

8.19.h.1. 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.

8.19.h.2. 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.

8.19.h.3. If any of the remaining Position (x) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" after the first Position (x) is declared official, the net Position (x) pool shall be distributed in accordance with this rule 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 subdivision 8.19.d. of this subsection, in proportion to the designated percentages, or by some other method approved by the Racing Commission.

8.19.h.4. If any of the remaining Position (x) contests are cancelled or declared "no contest" after the first Position (x) is declared official, and the net Position (x) pool has been designated for distribution in accordance with subdivision 8.19.j. of this subsection, the provisions of this rule governing mandatory distribution shall apply.

8.19.i. Carryover Cap. The Position (x) carryover may be capped at a designated level approved by the Racing 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) for that performance.

8.19.j. Mandatory Distribution.

8.19.j.1. A written request for permission to distribute the Position (x) carryover on a specific performance may be submitted to the Racing 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 association must notify the Racing Commission at least ten (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.

8.19.j.2. 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:

8.19.j.2.A. If the method chosen pursuant to subdivision 8.19.d. of this subsection is method 7, 8, 9, or 10, then:

8.19.j.2.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 (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. Designated minor shares may still be awarded;

8.19.j.2.C. If the method chosen pursuant to subdivision 8.19.d. of this subsection is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, then:

8.19.j.2.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 (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. Designated minor shares may still be awarded.

8.19.j.2.E. If there are no wagers which qualified for distribution of the major share, then all Position (x) tickets shall become winners and share one hundred percent (100%) of that performance's net Position (x) pool and the Position (x) carryover pool as a single price pool.

8.19.j.3. The Position (x) carryover shall be designated for distribution on a specified date and performance only under the following circumstances:

8.19.j.3.A. Upon written approval from the Racing Commission as provided in paragraph 8.19.j.1. of this subdivision.

8.19.j.3.B. Upon written approval from the Racing Commission when there is a change in the carryover cap or when the Position (x) wager is discontinued.

8.19.j.3.C. On the closing performance of the meet.

8.19.j.4. 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 Racing 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 Racing Commission.

8.19.k. Coupled entries and mutuel fields.

8.19.k.1. Coupled entries and mutuel fields may be permitted in Position (x) contests with the written approval of the Racing Commission.

8.19.k.2. 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 subdivision 8.19.g. of this subsection applies.

8.19.k.3. 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.

8.19.l. With the written approval of the Racing Commission, the association 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.

8.20. The Team Wager Pool.

8.20.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 subdivision 8.20.c. of this subsection.

8.20.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.

8.20.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."

8.20.d. The Team Wager pool shall be apportioned under either of the following methods:

8.20.d.1. Winning Margins Team Wager:

8.20.d.1.A. 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.

8.20.d.1.B. 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.

8.20.d.1.C. 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 ten (10) points awarded in each contest], based upon the official order of finish, with a total of six (6) contests in the Team Wager, resulting in a total of sixty (60) points in all. The brackets could be designated as:

8.20.d.1.C.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

8.20.d.1.C.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

8.20.d.1.C.3. The two teams tie, and the margin is zero (0) Points.

8.20.d.1.C.4. In this example, there are thirteen (13) separate betting interests.

8.20.d.1.C.5. If, in this example, finishers representing Team A come in first and third in one contest, and finishers representing Team B come in second and fourth 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 two (2) points.)

8.20.d.2. Team Double Wager:

8.20.d.2.A. In the "Team Double Wager", the Racing Commission shall approve two different methods of determining the winning tickets qualifying for a share of the net pool.

8.20.d.2.B. The Racing 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.

8.20.d.2.C. 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.

8.20.e. Brackets.

8.20.e.1. 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 Racing Commission.

8.20.e.2. 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 Racing Commission.

8.20.f. Coupled Entries; Fields. With approval of the Racing 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 Racing Commission, fields may be permitted in contests comprising the Team Wager, but may only participate as part of the same Team.

8.20.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.

8.20.h. Scratches.

8.20.h.1. 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.

8.20.h.2. 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.

8.21. Future Wager Pool.

8.21.a. The Future Wager requires selection of the first-place finisher in a specified contest.

8.21.b. The association shall apply in writing to the Racing Commission for approval to offer the Future Wager on a specified contest and shall not offer the wager until the Racing Commission approval has been granted. The written application shall include the date and time for the pool to be opened and closed, a description of the system for compiling the pool and calculating odds and payout prices, and the time interval for displaying the odds.

8.21.c. The association, or in the case of inter-jurisdiction common pool wagering the host track, shall name the contestants included in each betting interest on which future wagers may be made and shall assign a program number to each betting interest.

8.21.d. The amount wagered on the betting interest which finishes first in the specified race is deducted from the net pool, the balance remaining being the profit; the profit is divided by the amount wagered on the betting interest finishing first, such quotient being the profit per dollar wagered in the Future Pool on that betting interest.

8.21.e. The net Future Pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to winning wagers in the following precedence, based upon the official order of finish:

8.21.e.1. To those whose selection finished first; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.21.e.2. To those whose selection finished second; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.21.e.3. To those whose selection finished third; but if there are no such wagers, then

8.21.e.4. The entire pool shall be refunded on Future Pool wagers for that contest.

8.21.f. If there is a dead heat for first involving:

8.21.f.1. contestants representing the same betting interest, the Future Pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

8.21.f.2. contestants representing two or more betting interests, the Future Pool shall be distributed as a profit split.

8.21.g. No refund shall be issued for Future Wager pool wagers on betting interests that do not start or finish the race. If the association becomes aware or is notified that a betting interest is ineligible or unable to start the race and the pool is still open, the association shall immediately close betting on that betting interest.

8.21.h. The entire Future Wager pool shall be refunded if:

8.21.h.1. the situation described at paragraph 8.21.e.4. of subdivision occurs; or

8.21.h.2. the specified race is declared no contest by the stewards or judges having jurisdiction over the specified race; or

8.21.h.3. the specified race does not occur; or

8.21.h.4. for whatever reason, the Future Wager pool can not be determined and the payout price can not be calculated.

8.22. Match Rival Pools.

8.22.a. The Match Rival requires the selection of the winning contestant in a designated contest or series of contests, in a competition between two (2) or more equally matched betting interests, or based on the sportsmanship and/or skill of the jockeys and/or trainers, regardless of the official placing of the other betting interests in that contest or series of contests.

8.22.b. The choice of which contestants from a contest shall participate in the Match Rival shall be made as follows:

8.22.b.1. The association must obtain written approval from the Racing Commission concerning who shall determine the contestants for each Match Rival contest.

8.22.b.2. The matching of contestants for the Match Rival shall be limited to contestant versus contestant, jockey versus jockey and/or trainer versus trainer.

8.22.b.3. The contestants chosen for the Match Rival wager shall be conspicuously identified in the official program.
