π Trial Changes to Flash Tournaments π
Overview
Starting on October 30, we will be experimenting with new modifications for Flash Tournaments, transforming them into Daily Conditional Tournaments.
Frequency
- These tournaments will last for 24 hours
- There will be one paid tournament per day (Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri)
Qualifying
- The eligibility condition and scoring format will change each day
- Scoring will use the sum of best 3 races (minimum 1 race)
- Qualifying races will take place in Open Class, with $2.50 entry fees
Finals
- 2 rounds, 12-gate races, top six progress
- The final will have a winner take all payout
- Finals distances will rotate each day
- 25x XP multipliers
- $1,000 USD prize pool
Note: To fund the prize pools for these tournaments, we will be taking a small amount from each segment and class of each of the Weekly Premier tournaments.
Why are we trialling these changes?
- We’ve received a lot of feedback around time zone constraints with the current schedule.
- We want to make these tournaments more inclusive but maintain the dynamic of not revealing the conditions and scoring in advance.
- These tournaments will also offer a big, winner-take-all prize to horses that may not normally compete in other tournaments on the platform.
Give us your feedback on these trial changes in Discord or on X - we're excited to see how you engage with them next week!
