TOURNAMENT FORMATS & HOW TO PLAY

The 1/ST CHAMPIONS TOUR offers two exciting tournament formats designed for different styles of play. Whether you prefer strategic bankroll management or straightforward Win/Place betting, there’s a tournament for you!

WIN-PLACE TOURNAMENTS

A Win-Place tournament is a straightforward yet highly competitive format. Here’s how it works:

🔹 Make Win/Place bets on a single horse in a set number of races (typically 5 horses across 5 races).
🔹 Bets must be placed with the allotted amount—no more, no less.
🔹 All bets must be placed through Xpressbet.com using the Xpressbet Contest Wagerpad.

Win-Place tournaments test your ability to pick consistent winners while managing limited wagers. With no bankroll fluctuations, every bet counts!

CHALLENGE TOURNAMENTS

A Challenge tournament gives players more flexibility in bet types and strategy. Here’s what to expect:

🔹 Players receive a Contest Account for each paid entry, with an initial Bankroll (Based on buy-in) per entry.
🔹 You can place Win, Place, Show, Exacta, Trifecta, and Daily Double (Permitted bet types based on Rules) bets.
🔹 No maximum bet limits, but you must wager at least your full bankroll during the tournament.
🔹 Some tournaments may require you to place bets on a minimum number of races.

Challenge tournaments reward smart bankroll management, risk-taking, and precise wagering strategy.
