||
| Definitions | ||
|
1. In these regulations: -- |
||
|
(a) "Super Trio Jackpot Pool" means a pool for nominating the winning greyhound, the second greyhound and the third greyhound in the correct order of finish in three or more selected races. |
||
|
(b) "Combination" means a bet in the Super Trio Jackpot Pool in which the person making the bet nominates the numbers of selected greyhounds in the manner required for the pool. |
||
|
(c) "Winning Combination" means the nomination of the winning greyhound, the second greyhound and the third greyhound in correct order of finish in each of the selected races in the pool. |
||
| Number of runners | ||
|
2. The Super Trio Jackpot Pool shall be held only in races in which there are at least four advertised runners. |
||
| Purchase of tickets | ||
|
3. Bets for the Super Trio Jackpot can only be made by the use of selection cards. These cards are available at all totalisator outlets. |
||
| Valid tickets | ||
|
4. Tickets purchased in respect of selections made are valid only for that meeting and except as provided in article 15 of these regulations no refund of the purchase price or any part thereof shall be made. |
||
| Tickets lost or mislaid | ||
|
5. The operator, his officers or servants shall not be liable, if for any reason whatever, a jackpot ticket is lost, or mislaid. |
||
| Dead Heat | ||
|
6. (1) In the event of a dead heat for first place in a selected race then the tickets bearing the number of such dead heating greyhounds coupled with the third placed greyhound shall be deemed winning combinations for that selected race. |
||
|
(2) In the event of a dead heat for second place in a race then the tickets bearing the number of the first placed greyhound coupled with the numbers of such dead heating greyhounds shall be deemed winning combinations for that selected race. |
||
|
(3) In the event of a dead heat for third place in a race then the tickets bearing the numbers of the first and second placed greyhounds in correct order of finish coupled with the numbers of such dead heating greyhounds shall be deemed winning combinations for that selected race. |
||
| No unit on winning combination or combinations | ||
|
7. 1 (a) If after the completion of the selected races in the pool, there are no winning units on the winning combination or combinations then the operator may, at his discretion carry forward the net pool either in whole or in such parts as the operator may determine to the net pool in a subsequent super trio pool at the same or another greyhound track; or, |
||
|
(b) carry forward the net pool in the manner provided in sub paragraph (a) of this Article, less such sum as the operator may decide to distribute amongst the holders of tickets who have nominated a combination containing the winning greyhounds in such number of races in the pool as the operator may determine. |
||
| Calculation of dividend | ||
|
8. The dividend shall be calculated by dividing the net pool by the total number of units on the winning combination or combinations of the selected races. Where the winning combination or combinations are unbacked and the operator decides to proceed under article 7(b) of these regulations, then the sum to be distributed under that article shall be calculated on the combination or combinations containing the winning greyhounds in such number of races in the pool as the operator may determine. |
||
| Payment of Dividends | ||
|
9. Dividends shall be payable on the presentation of the appropriate winning ticket or tickets whole and not unreasonably defaced or unrecognisable. |
||
| Withdrawn greyhounds | ||
|
10. (a) If a greyhound is withdrawn from any of the selected races then the withdrawn greyhound shall be disregarded on all combinations which include the withdrawn greyhound in that race and the remaining two selected greyhounds shall be deemed a winning combination in the event of finishing first and second in the correct order of finish in that selected race. |
||
|
(b) If more than one greyhound is withdrawn from any of the selected races, and there are four remaining runners, then the withdrawn greyhounds in that race shall be disregarded on all the relevant combinations and the remaining greyhound selected in such combinations shall be deemed a winning combination in the event of finishing first in that selected race. |
||
| Race not run or declared a "no race" | ||
|
11. If one or more of the selected races in the super trio jackpot at any meeting is, for any reason, not run, not won, declared a no race or postponed to another race meeting each combination selected in the super trio jackpot for such race or races shall be deemed to be a winning combination and the remaining race or races will be deemed to form the super trio jackpot pool at that meeting. |
||
| Less than four runners | ||
|
12. If as a result of greyhounds being withdrawn there are less than four runners in any of the selected races then each selection in that race shall be deemed to be a winning selection and the remaining selected races shall be deemed to form the Super Trio Jackpot at that meeting. |
||
| Minimum number of selected races | ||
|
13. If for any reason less than the selected number of races in the pool is run then the dividend shall be calculated by dividing the net pool by the number of units on the winning combination or combinations in the last selected race of the pool which was run. |
||
| Jackpot Carryover | ||
|
14. A jackpot carryover, if any, shall only be added to the pool at a meeting in the event of a minimum of three selected races being run. In the event of less than three selected races being run then the carryover will be brought forward to the next meeting. |
||
| Abandoned or postponed meeting | ||
|
15. In the event of a meeting being abandoned or postponed before the completion of the first selected race then the pool shall be cancelled and the total amount staked in the pool at the meeting shall be refunded on presentation of tickets. |
||
|
16. Save as otherwise provided in these regulations the provision of the Greyhound Race Track (Totalisator) (Operating) Regulations 1971 ( S.I. No. 47 of 1971 ) shall apply in respect of bets made and accepted in the super trio jackpot pool. |
||
