This is in response to people who have inquired why Autotote cancelled
the December On the Wire tournament and why two people were named winners
of the July event.
Mr. Russell Harris was the contest winner of the July On the Wire
contest, but was erroneously disqualified because he made a show wager,
which was prohibited in the rules. His show wager had no impact on his
finish. This show wager should have been deleted from his total, and if it
had been, he still would have won the contest. What inadvertently occurred
was that Mr. Harris was disqualified completely from winning the event and
Mr. Bert Fooden, who finished second, was placed first.
After reviewing the results, it was decided that Mr. Harris should not
have been disqualified and that only his show bet should have been
disqualified. Mr. Fooden had already been informed that he was the winner.
As a result, it was decided to name both players the winners of the
contest. Both players received the first place prize money and qualified
for the NTRA tournament. Autotote cancelled the December On the Wire
contest, because the allotment of six spots has been filled.
Autotote makes every effort to ensure the integrity of all its contests
and nothing has or will influence the proper manner in which these events
are conducted.
