Section 5602.2 - Commission approval of new contests

(a)Approval. Commission approval is required before a registrant is permitted to introduce a new type of contest or an existing contest type for a sport, league, association or organization not previously offered by such registrant. To obtain commission approval, a registrant shall specify the underlying sport and sports league, association or organization upon which the proposed type of contest is based, provide rules of play for the contest and demonstrate that the new type of contest will comply with Article 14 of the Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law and the requirements for permissible contests set forth in this Chapter. Following review of the proposed contest type, the commission shall inform such registrant whether the proposed contest type is approved or denied or whether additional information from such registrant is required.

(b)Variations. A registrant may introduce minor variations of permissible types of contests without seeking commission approval. A registrant is not required to amend a previously approved submission to describe a minor variation. Minor variations of permissible contests that may be introduced without commission approval include, without limitation:

(1) the size of the contest and number of entries permitted;

(2) non-material changes to entry fee and prize structure;

(3) the number of athletes that a contestant selects to fill a roster when completing an entry;

(4) the positions that must be filled when completing an entry; and

(5) adjustments to a salary cap.
