the ntl CHAMPIONSHIP FIESTA WEEKEND​

The NTL Competition: The NTL experience is unlike anything in horse racing history. Each of our Cups in a five-race competition – all 10 teams enter one athlete from their roster in each race – with teams accruing points throughout. Like an NFL or NBA game, the entire competition takes less than 3 hours, and we throw in lots of surprises between the races. Races will be run at standard lengths, ranging from three-quarters of a mile (6 furlongs) up to a mile, on both dirt and turf, encompassing horses of both genders.

The Points System: Teams compete for 3000 points at each of our Cups. For the first four races, the breakdown is as follows: First place gets 150 points, second place 90 points, with each finish below that descending 10 points (thus, 10th place only gets 10 points). For the final race, it’s very simple: 300 points for first, 200 points for second, 100 points for third, with no other horse scoring. The team with the most points on the day wins that Cup. The team with the most points for the year wins the NTL Championship.
