Survivor Challenge Rules

Rules and Regulations to Enter and Play the Survivor Challenge

1. All participants must be of legal age in the Province, State or Country of residence. Nova Scotia participants must be 19 years of age or older.
   
2. The official results, as posted by APHRC Judges, shall constitute the official and final result for this contest.
   
3. The entrant will endeavour to select a horse who will finish top three in races 1 (one) through the final race. The entrant will select his or her choice, with an alternate choice for each race. In the event that the original selection is scratched, the alternate selection will be deemed to be the new selection for the entrant. If both your original selection and alternative selection are both scratched, you will inherit the post time favourite. No alternative selection will be allowed if your initial selection is refunded for any reason. Please see the television monitors, and listen to the track announcer for any scratches.
   
4. In the event of a dead heat, all horses in said dead heat for win, place or show shall be deemed to be official winners for the purpose of moving on to the next round.
   
5. Entrants selection must finish in the top 3 (three) to move on to the next round. If your selection does not finish in the top 3 (three) you will be eliminated from further play.
   
6. In order to be eligible for the HPIBet cash deposit, you must have an active account set up prior to entering. All winners that are non-account holders will receive bragging rights, but unfortunately you must have a HPIbet account to be awarded a cash deposit. In the event that the contest winner is not a resident of an HPIBet Market, or the winner does not want to sign up for HPIBet, again bragging rights are the only reward.
   
7. The entrant with the most consecutive top 3 (three) finishers will be deemed to have won the Survivor Challenge contest. The winner shall receive the sum of $100 (one hundred) dollars deposited in their HPIBet account, if he or she is the sole survivor. In the event of a tie with 3 (three) or fewer winners, the $100 (one hundred) dollar prize shall be split evenly amongst the winners.
8. In the event that 4 (four) or more players survive to the end of the race card, a NEW FORMULA has been instituted to further reduce the number of eligible survivors.  Each player will be awarded points based on how their picks finished in each race. These points are equal to the order of finish. For example: a WIN=1 point, PLACE=2 points and SHOW=3 points. Once the total points are calculated, the player(s) with the LOWEST POINTS (i.e. having picked more wins or better finishes throughout the day's race card) will determine the winner(s). In the event of there still being a tie or ties, the survivors will be paid in accordance to rule #7 above. If there are still more than 3 (three) survivors, then the remaining names will be entered in a random draw and 3 (three) names will be selected. The 3 (three) names selected will be considered winners for the purpose of the contest and shall split the $100 (one hundred) dollar winner’s prize evenly. THIS FORMULA HAS BEEN ADDED TO REWARD THE PLAYERS WHO HAVE MADE THE BEST SELECTIONS. In the event that the NEW FORMULA RUNDOWN comes into play, we will post a list of all entries that survived to the end and show their selections for full transparency. Any questions, please contact Support.
   
9. The contest will run from race to race until all contestants are eliminated, or the final race has been run, whichever comes first.
