Settlement of Wagers
Statistics provided by the official score(s) provider or the official website of the relevant competition or event will be used to settle wagers. Where statistics from an official score(s) provider or official website are not available or there is significant evidence that the official score(s) provider or official website is incorrect, we will use independent evidence to support bet settlement.
In the absence of consistent, independent evidence or in the presence of significant conflicting evidence, bets will be settled based on our own statistics.
General
Futures Betting - May be subject to a Rule 4 (Deduction). Participants must start Round 1 of a specified competition for bets to stand. Otherwise, bets will be deemed no action and wagers returned. The classification at the time of the podium presentation (as per official ASP result) will determine the settlement of bets. Subsequent disqualifications and/or appeals will not affect bets. If a specified event is not fully completed, then bets will be deemed no action and wagers returned.
Matchups - Will be settled upon the surfer progressing furthest in a specified competition. If both quoted participants are knocked out in the same round of a specified tournament, then the winner, for betting purposes, is deemed the surfer with the highest score in the specific round both surfers are eliminated. In the event of scores being tied, bets will be deemed no action. Both quoted surfers in a matchup must compete in Round 1 for bets to stand.
Heat Winner - All surfers must enter the water for the specified Heat for bets to stand. Otherwise, bets will be deemed no action and wagers returned (for settlement purposes Tiebreakers count).
To Progress to the Quarterfinals - All surfers must enter the water for the specified Heat for bets to stand, otherwise bets will be deemed no action and wagers returned. Settlement is based upon the two surfers who progress to the Quarterfinals, from the specified heat.
