Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 75-7.016 - Total Points Wager
(1) The Total
Points wager is a type of pari-mutuel wager, comprised of correctly selecting
the aggregate total points scored by all the players or teams participating in
a jai alai game.
(2) The
permitholder shall designate and announce the type of game and the number of
points necessary to win the game, through the daily playing program.
(a) In a "Straight Seven Game, " the first
player or team that attains seven points is the winner. When there are a total
of eight players or teams in a game, seven players or teams will score no more
than six points. The maximum number of aggregate points for the purpose of the
Total Points wager is 49. The bettor selects any number in the betting range
from 7 to 49. Any selection below 7 or above 49 is not a valid wager. For
example:
|
1 Winner |
7 Points |
|
7 Losers x 6 |
42 Points |
|
8 Total |
49 Total |
(b)
In a "Spectacular Seven Game, " the first player or team that attains seven
points is the winner. When there are a total of eight players or teams in a
game, six players or teams will score no more than six points each, and one
will score no more than five points. The maximum number of aggregate points for
the purpose of the Total Points wager is thus 48. The bettor selects any number
in the betting range from 7 to 48. Any selection below 7 or above 48 is not a
valid wager. For example:
|
1 Winner |
7 Points |
|
6 Losers x 6 |
36 Points |
|
1 Loser |
5 Points |
|
8 Total |
48 Points |
(c)
In a "Spectacular Nine Game, " the first player or team that attains nine
points is the winner. Where there are a total of eight players or teams in a
game, seven players or teams will score no more than eight points each. The
maximum number of aggregate points for the purpose of the Total Points wager is
thus 65. The bettor selects any number in the betting range from 9 to 65. Any
selection below 9 or above 65 is not a valid wager. For example:
|
1 Winner |
9 Points |
|
7 Losers x 8 |
56 Points |
|
8 Total |
65 Points |
(d) A
"Partido Game" is defined as two players or teams competing against each other.
The player or team that first attains the designated number of points is the
winner. The losing player or team will score no more points than the designated
number to win less one. For example, if a 15 point Partido game, the winning
player or team will score 15 points, and the losing player or team will score
no more than 15 minus 1, or 14 points. The maximum number of aggregate points
for the purpose of the Total Points wager is thus 29. The bettor selects any
number in the betting range from 15 to 29. Any selection lower than 15 or
higher than 29 is not a valid wager. For example:
|
1 Winner |
15 Points |
|
1 Loser (15-1) |
14 Points |
|
Total |
29 Points |
(3) In the event that any other type or
variation of jai alai game is used for the Total Points wager, the permitholder
shall provide in the playing program a description of the game and the related
betting range in the same format as indicated in subsection (2) of this
rule.
(4) For the purposes of
calculating the total points as it pertains to this wager, the following shall
apply:
(a) In "spectacular scoring" games, if
a player or team receives a double point when only one point is needed to win
the game, the player or team shall be credited with only the one point needed
to win.
(b) After the winning
player or team has been determined, any additional points scored to determine
place, show, or fourth positions through playoffs will not count toward the
total points.
(c) Except as
indicated in paragraphs (4)(a) and (b) of this rule, all points shall be
awarded in compliance with the rules governing the jai alai games, Title 75,
F.A.C.
(5) The net pool
shall be awarded in the following priorities:
(a) To those who correctly selected the total
aggregate points for the game. If the winning wager as herein described is not
covered, then;
(b) To those who
correctly selected the next lower total, in a descending order;
(c) If the net pool cannot be awarded as
described in paragraph (a) or (b), above, then a full refund to all
contributors to the pool shall be made.
(6) Prior to offering this type of wager to
the betting public, the totalisator system used by the permitholder shall be
programmed to do the following:
(a) Print a
table of wagers (pool matrix) which will reflect the amount bet for each
possible number of points within the game betting range as described in
subsection (2) of this rule; and
(b) Award the same price per winning dollar
to all winning ticket holders as indicated in the winning priorities in
subsection (5) of this rule.
(7) The total points shall be aggregated by
computer. They shall be displayed to the public during the game on an
electronic display or on the totalisator board. The total winning points and
the related awarded price per dollar shall be displayed to the
public.
(8) The permitholder shall
be able to produce upon request a computer printout indicating the accumulation
of the points for each game. This may be accomplished by the device actually
accumulating the points or by linking such to the totalisator.
(9) In the event that manual calculations
become necessary, the chief judge and the permitholder's score keeper shall
confirm the total points for the purposes of calculating the Total Points wager
payoffs. Such information shall be relayed to the Mutuels Manager, or designee,
who will use the total points to award the net pool and calculate the
corresponding prices.
(10) In the
event that the Total Points wagering is offered to guest tracks or frontons,
in-state or out-of-state, all the information required by subsection (7) of
this rule, shall be provided to the patrons at each guest track. Except where
the guest's terminals are linked directly to the host track, the totalisator
being used by the guest track must be programmed to accumulate wagers and
produce reports as required in subsection (6) of this rule.
(11) The permitholder's score keeper and the
judge shall share a common work area. In the event that sharing a common area
is not feasible, there shall be a direct phone link between these two
individuals. In addition, both of these officials shall have a full and
complete view of the playing court, the score board, and the totalisator
board.
