7/23/2014 - The races for August are now updated on the race calendar to go along with the new structure including the minimum nomination requirements, fees, and nomination deadlines. On the race schedule you will see a green number in brackets beside the max field size. This is the minimum nominations required for the race to draw. You can click on this number for more details. Any race with a 5* means an alternate race with a reduced number of nominations required for the race to draw will be offered on the same race date but with a nomination deadline of 1 day later if the race does not receive the minimum 5 nominations by the nomination deadline. You can see further details about these races by clicking on the 5* on the race schedule. There is also now an option on the nomination page for the 5* races to automatically nominate for the alternate race if the original does not fill. This option will allow races to draw and run with either 3 or 4 nominations as a minimum.
