Abstract: A system and method provides an event-based game to a plurality of players including displaying an event, the event having an end, generating a plurality of different pools for the event, wherein each of the different pools includes a plurality of groups and each of the groups includes a plurality of participants, determining eligible participants for each of the different pools, randomly assigning one eligible participant of the plurality of participants from one of the groups to a plurality of eligible participants of the plurality of participants from another one of the groups, allowing a player to place a wager on the event, selecting one of the eligible participants from each of the different pools, printing a ticket with the selected participants, dispensing the ticket to the player, and awarding a prize based on a highest total number of points at the end of the event.

Abstract: A method of playing a game, the method comprising selecting a predefined number of player indicia; providing an event reference, the event reference being viewable on a display device, the event reference comprising a plurality of event participants, the plurality of event participants being ranked; randomly generating a plurality of randomly generated indicia, the plurality of randomly generated indicia comprising a first indicia and a second indicia; associating the first indicia with a first event participant; associating the second indicia with a second event participant; obtaining the ranking of the participants based on the order they finish in the event reference; ordering the plurality of randomly generated indicia based on the ranking of their respective associated participants; and determining a game outcome, the game outcome comprising comparing the player indicia to the plurality of randomly generated indicia.
