Schedule 1 — Calculating the total cost of entry — Soccer Pools
[r. 10]
[Heading inserted in Gazette 6 Jun 2008 p. 2342.]
The unit cost of entering a Pools Game is made up of a subscription of 50 cents per game and an agent’s component.
The agent’s component is calculated as 9% of the total subscription amount for a particular week’s entry, rounded* (where necessary) to the nearest 5 cent multiple.
((G x $0.50) x .09 —> rounded) x W = T
where —
G = No. of games entered in a draw
W = No. of weeks the entry spans
T = Total agent’s component cost payable by the participant
Examples:
The total cost of entry for a Slikpik 25 entry for a single Pools Game is calculated as follows —
Subscription [25 games @ $0.50 each] =$12.50
9% of subscription [.09 x $12.50]=$1.125
Rounded using “bankers rounding”=$1.10
Total cost of entry=$13.60
The total cost of entry for a System 8 entry for a single Pools Game is calculated as follows —
Subscription [28 games @ $0.50 each] =$14.00
9% of subscription [.09 x $14.00]=$1.26
Rounded using “bankers rounding”=$1.25
Total cost of entry=$15.25
The total cost of entry for a 6 game board System 9 entry for a single Pools Game is calculated as follows —
Subscription [6 x 84 games @ $0.50 each] =$252.00
9% of subscription [.09 x $252.00]=$22.68
Rounded using “bankers rounding”=$22.70
Total cost of entry=$274.70
The total cost of entry for a Slikpik 25 entry spanning 10 weeks of Soccer Pools is calculated as follows —
Subscription for one week
[25 games @ $0.50 each] =$12.50
9% of subscription [.09 x $12.50]=$1.125
Rounded using “bankers rounding”=$1.10
Total cost of entry for one week=$13.60
Total cost of entry for 10 weeks=$136.00
* Rounding is calculated using the method known as “bankers rounding” or “round‑to‑even” rounding.
