				a designated number of contests. The association must obtain written approval
				from the Commission concerning the scheduling of Exacta (n) contests, the

				Exacta (n) pool shall be distributed as a single price pool to those who
				selected the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in each of the
				Exacta (n) contests, based upon the official order of finish. If there are no
				wagers selecting the first and second place finishers, in exact order, in each
				of the Exacta (n) contests, the net Exacta (n) pool shall be distributed as a
				single price pool to those who selected the first and second place finishers,
				in exact order, in the greatest number of Exacta (n) contests. If there are no
				winning wagers, the entire pool shall be refunded on Exacta (n) wagers for
