Abstract

La présente invention concerne une épreuve décidée en fonction du résultat d'un événement. L'épreuve implique le fait qu'un participant sélectionne un sous-ensemble (12) d'une taille prédéterminée à partir d'un ensemble fini de concurrents pour l'événement. Le participant peut éventuellement placer un pari (10) pour participer et les sélections du participant sont facultativement classées (14). A un stade prédéterminé de l'événement, un indice est calculé pour chaque participant sur la base de la performance cumulée des concurrents du sous-ensemble sélectionné par le participant. Chaque indice est calculé en additionnant une statistique générée pendant l'événement pour chacune des sélections du participant. Les participants sont classés par indice et, éventuellement, un nombre prédéterminé de participants reçoivent un prix. Les indices (20) à égalité sont départagés au moyen de la comparaison des statistiques des concurrents faisant partie des sous-ensembles (22) à égalité. La comparaison est éventuellement effectuée dans l'ordre dans lequel les participants ont classé les sélections (24) et facultativement la récompense provient des paris (26) mis en commun.
