Section 303.10  Definition

 

The Daily Double requires selection of the first-place finisher in each of two successive, specified contests.  All daily double wagers shall be calculated in an entirely separate pool.

 

Section 303.20  Pool Distribution

 

The net daily double pool shall be distributed to winning wagers in the following manner, based upon the official order of finish:

 

a)         As a single price pool to those whose selection finished first in each of the two contests; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

b)         As a profit split to those who selected the first-place finisher in either of the two contests; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

c)         As a single price pool to those who selected the one covered first-place finisher in either contest; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

d)         As a single price pool to whose selection finished second in each of the two contests; but if there are no such wagers, then

 

e)         The entire pool shall be refunded on daily double wagers for those contests.

 

Section 303.30  Dead Heats

 

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

 

a)         contestants representing the same betting interest, the daily double pool shall be distributed as if no dead heat occurred.

 

b)         contestants representing two or more betting interests, the daily double shall be distributed as a profit split if there is more than one covered winning combination.

 

Section 303.40  Scratches

 

a)         In the event a betting interest in the first half of the daily double is scratched prior to the first double contest being declared official, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the daily double pool and refunded.

 

b)         In the event a betting interest in the second half of the daily double is scratched prior to the close of wagering, all money wagered on combinations including the scratched betting interest shall be deducted from the daily double pool and refunded.

 

c)         In the event a betting interest in the second half of the daily double is scratched after the close of wagering, all wagers combining the winner of the first contest with the scratched betting interest shall receive a consolation payoff.

 

Section 303.50  Cancellations

 

a)         If either of the daily double contests are canceled prior to the first double contest, or the first double contest is declared "no contest", the entire double pool shall be refunded on double wagers for those contests.

 

b)         If the second double contest is canceled or declared "no contest" after the close of wagering on the first double contest, the net double pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to wagers selecting the winner of the first double contest.  In the event of a dead heat involving separate betting interests, the net double pool shall be distributed as a profit split.
