Underdogs must win outright or lose by less than the posted spread to count as a PRO•LINE SPREADS win. In the event of a tie game (Football, Hockey, etc.), the underdog will be declared the winning selection due to the favorite not winning by the published spread.

3.9 Any event that has actually commenced or has been completed prior to the issuance of a ticket which included a wager on that game may, with respect to such ticket, have a prize level decreased by one level. If all selections result in a prize level of one, the ticket holder(s) will be entitled to a refund of the amount of the original wager.

3.10 For the purpose of awarding prizes, final results of the games are as determined by the Corporation, including extra play, as verified by the Corporation.

Any event which is postponed, resulting in that event being considered incomplete in accordance with the rules and regulations governing that sport shall be considered canceled and the prize level decreased by one level.

If an event is considered suspended by the rules and regulations governing that sport, the resulting event must be completed within 48 hours of the original cut off time of the event. If the event is not completed within 48 hours of the original cut off time, the event will be considered postponed by the Corporation and the prize level reduced by one level.

A Baseball game that is continued within 48 hours after it is suspended and not restarted from the beginning will be considered an incomplete event and the result will be honored as long as it is completed within 48 hours of the original cut-off time. In the case of any suspended Baseball game that is re-started from the beginning, the originally scheduled game will be considered cancelled and the prize level reduced by one level.

In the event of conflicting, misprinted, or erroneous game results, the results, as determined by the Corporation, shall be final and binding upon all players.

3.11 The net prize liability on any PRO•LINE SPREADS List will be limited to a maximum of $2.5 million. For any PRO•LINE SPREADS List if, at the end of a particular day on that List on which games are scheduled, the net prize liability would first exceed $2.0 million, then that day's daily net prize liability will automatically be reduced by multiplying it by the main reduction factor. Each prize payable on a winning ticket where the final game on that ticket is completed on that day will then automatically be reduced by the main reduction factor as follows: (a) the wager on that ticket will be subtracted from the prize which would otherwise be payable; (b) the remaining amount will be multiplied by the main reduction factor; (c) the wager will be added back; and (d) that total amount shall represent the prize payable on that ticket. The Corporation shall not be liable to pay any amount greater than that total amount. However, if the day on which the net prize liability would first exceed $2.0 million is the final day on that List, then the foregoing will be modified for that day as follows: (a) if the net prize liability would be $2.5 million or less, then there will be no reduction; and (b) if the net prize liability exceeds $2.5 million, then the numerator of the main reduction factor will be equal to the difference between $2.5 million and the net prize liability for that PRO•LINE SPREADS List as at the end of the previous day.

3.12 a) Where paragraph 3.11 applies, for the remaining days on that PRO•LINE SPREADS List on which games are scheduled, the net prize liability attributable the remainder of the List period will be limited to a maximum of $500,000. The daily net prize liability of each such day (the daily limit) will be limited to $500,000 divided by the number of days remaining at the time the net prize liability for that PRO•LINE SPREADS List would, without paragraph 3.11, first have exceeded $2.0 million, plus any unused daily limits from all previous remaining days on the List.

The unused daily limit for any such remaining day is calculated by deducting from that day's daily limit its daily net prize liability where the daily limit is the higher of the two. Any such unused daily limit may be used to increase the daily limit of the following day(s).

(b) Where a day's daily net prize liability would, based on paragraph (a), exceed that day's daily limit, then that daily net prize liability will automatically be reduced to equal such daily limit by multiplying it by the daily reduction factor. Each prize payable on a winning ticket where the final game on that ticket is completed on such remaining day will automatically be reduced by that day's daily reduction factor in the same manner as set out in paragraph 3.11 for reductions by the main reduction factor.
