Paid Racing Schedule Update
👀 Paid Racing Schedule Update 👀
What
We are introducing a new scheduling logic as well as several new and exciting paid racing formats to create a more engaging and rewarding paid racing experience.
There are four new paid racing formats available in Class 1, 2 and 3:
12 Horse | Double Up Payout (even splits for Top 6 placements)
12 Horse | Quadruple Up Payout (even splits for podium finishers)
6 Horse | Winner-Take-All Payout
6 Horse | Top 2 Payout (first place 70% and second place 30%)
Class 4, 5 and 6 will have access to:
12 Horse | Double Up
6 Horse | Top 2
Why
- Testing on the impacts of additional formats has concluded
- Findings indicated that additional formats create a more dynamic racing landscape for racehorse types and players
- To improve race generation
- In preparation for additional scaling of availability
When
Deployment is underway!
Impact
Paid Racing:
During the initial introduction of these new formats, the following formats will be unavailable:
12 Horse | Top 6 Payout
6 Horse | Top 3 Payout
12 Horse | Top 3 Payout
Some entry fees will also be unavailable during this period, including:
Class 1, 100 USD
Class 1, 500 USD
Class 2, 50 USD
Class 3, 10 USD
Higher entry fees and additional formats will be re-introduced for lower classes once the initial test phase is complete. Overall availability by length, buy-in and format will be scaled after an initial testing period
Free Racing:
Additionally, a scheduling rework for free race availability is in the works. The free race scheduler logic will soon be updated to one race per length available at all times in every class.
No changes have been made currently to the Open Class Scheduler. Any updates to the Open Class scheduler will be communicated as needed.
Similarly to the paid racing scheduler, updates and additional scaling of free race availability will be performed at the discretion of the LiveOps team upon examination of the tournament experience.
