Dania Jai-Alai announced that it will introduce a new scoring system, called “Progressive 9” to be used in the nine point Superfecta games, according to a release from the fronton.

Adapted somewhat from the “Spectacular 7” scoring where points double after the first round of play, the Progressive 9 scoring will have points double after the first round and then progress to triple after the second round (the 15th point in the game).

In addition, all playoffs will be at the triple point level, regardless at which stage of the game they occur.

Dania officials think this is a way to not only shorten the length of the 9-point games, but it, also, gives a chance for any team to come from far behind and win.

"You, as a bettor, will never be out of it and can still win from even if you have lost the first few points in the Progressive 9 scoring," said Marty Fleischman, assistant general manager of Dania Jai-Alai. "This should add even more excitement and shows we are looking for innovative ways to enhance this great sport."

The new scoring will begin Wednesday and only on the ninth game. Fleischman said shortly thereafter, they plan to use it on all four 9-point games, the fourth, seventh, ninth and 12th.
