In the event of a dead heat in any leg of the Showdown, specific rules apply:

1. Dead Heat Rules

   • Implementation: Dead Heat Rules are implemented for affected legs.
     
     

2. Points Allocation

   • Halved Points: Players receive points corresponding to the Best Tote Win odds, halved for a dead heat. For example, if the Best Tote Win odds are $5.50, you receive 2.75 points for a dead heat.
   • Applicable Legs: This applies only to legs where your selection is involved in a dead heat.
     
     

3. Calculation Method

   • Best Tote Dividend: The Best Tote Dividend for the placing is determined.
   • Halved Amount: This amount is then halved to calculate your points for that leg.
     
     

4. Fair Distribution

   • Equitable Points: This approach ensures fair point distribution when two or more runners can't be separated.
     
     

5. Impact on Strategy

   • Potential Points: Be aware that dead heats can affect your potential points.
   • Selection Consideration: Consider this possibility when making your selections.
     
     

Remember, while dead heats are relatively rare, understanding how they're handled can be crucial for your overall Showdown strategy. This rule ensures that points are awarded fairly in these unique situations.
