DerbyWars™ Fires Up Lockdown Tournaments

lockdown_615x400 v2 (1)

 

DerbyWars is excited to launch Lockdown, the latest addition to an already teeming tournament schedule on the digital handicapping contest platform.

Unlike traditional tournaments, a contest designated as a Lockdown tournament will require players to submit all selections – for every race in the contest – prior to the start of the first race of the tournament. Once selections have been closed, there will be no opportunity for players to change selections for any reason.

For full rules for Lockdown format tournaments, scroll to the bottom of this post.

“We have already heard great excitement from many players regarding the rollout of Lockdown,” said Mark Midland, CEO and Co-founder of DerbyWars. “DerbyWars continues to offer contest players of all levels the most choices and the simplest, friendliest environment. Lockdown will be a terrific addition to our daily tournament lineup.”

The new Lockdown format will cajole players to try new strategies. Without the benefit of race-by-race adjustments, players will need to account for the unknown well ahead of time. Also, players will not have the benefit of making hedging their bets throughout the contest based on the bankrolls of their competitors.

“Frankly, I like the Lockdown format better. It exposes better handicappers,” explained Tom Anderson, also known as ‘@Yagli’ in DerbyWars contests. “It prevents people from throwing Hail Mary’s and shows if people can actually handicap their way to a longshot.”

Players may also appreciate the notion of being able to submit selections prior to the start of a Lockdown tournament and then leaving their computer or mobile device during the races without being at a perceived disadvantage. Since no player will be allowed to make changes during a live contest, there will be no disadvantage to submitting selections and then disengaging from that tournament, whether to go to work, spend time with the family, or simply to play multiple live contests on DerbyWars.

Players not keen on the new format needn’t worry. The Lockdown tournament format is meant as an addition to existing tournament offerings – not a replacement for them. The traditional Bullet- and Survivor-style contests enjoyed by DerbyWars players for years will continue unabated.

Lockdown tournaments will be designated on the game board by an orange ribbon cascading across the upper right-hand corner of the game summary, as pictured below. The name of the tournament will also include the word Lockdown in the title.

OFFICIAL RULES

Lockdown – Tournament format operates uniformly as “Bullet” and “Survivor” formats but requires contest players to submit ALL contest selections prior to the close of entries and start of contest.

  • Players must submit horse selections for ALL contest races prior to the published post time for the first race of any Lockdown format tournament.
  • Players will not be allowed to make any changes, for any reason, to tournament selections after contest has closed and tournament has commenced.
  • In the event of a scratch of primary selection, players will be given alternate selection. In the event of a scratch of alternate selection, players will be given the post time favorite. Late program changes shall NOT constitute reason to make changes to tournament selections.
  • If a player fails to submit a selection for any race of a Lockdown format tournament prior to the start of the tournament, player will not be given an alternate selection.  The post-time favorite will not be given as a default selection if no selection is made.

You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more correct at this point. Having said that, let me inform you what did deliver the results. The writing is definitely quite convincing and that is probably why I am taking an effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, despite the fact that I can easily see a leaps in logic you come up with, I am not really confident of just how you appear to unite the ideas which make the actual conclusion. For right now I shall subscribe to your position however hope in the future you link the dots better.
