Can I see player standings during a tournament competition?
A key component that we heard from horseplayers is, 'Who is leading in the overall tournament ladder?' As well as hearing, 'Where am I within relation to the full field of tournament entrants?'
TwinSpires has a solution for you! With green and red indication arrows of gain or loss in tournament positions, quickly view horseplayer momentum. Following the end of a tournament specified race, dynamic updates to the tournament leader-board will be observed.
