ZED RUN Season 8 Introduces A Fresh Format

‍

‍

‍

Season 8 is bringing fresh energy with new tournament formats, this past week was no exception. The split Maiden Stakes tournaments changed things up, so we hope you enjoyed the ride. 

‍

Now, as we gear up for week two, let's dive into what's coming up for the <100 & Open Premier tournaments happening from October 21-24.

‍

These tournaments will feature cross-funnel leaderboards, meaning your horse will need to rack up the most points across all funnels. Remember that only your horse's top-scoring funnel will count towards the leaderboard. The tournament's qualifying leaderboard will determine the final standings, and while there will be a single race final for each funnel, it won't have any payouts—just a sweet XP boost for your horse.

‍

Here’s how the prize pool is shaping up:

‍

Class 1

1st: $450

2nd: $324

3rd: $216

4-10th: $77

11-15th: $54

‍

Class 2

1st: $350

2nd: $252

3rd: $168

4-10th: $60

11-15th: $42

‍

Class 3

1st: $200

2nd: $144

3rd: $96

4-10th: $34

11-15th: $24
