Each greyhound wearing an odd numbered rug will jump from the inside box (box 1), and each wearing an even numbered box will jump from the outside box (box 3).
The series carried $61,000 in prize money, with the winner of each match picking up $10,000, with a further $15,000 bonus for the fastest time and $6000 for second.
