If total run is projected to be below 2.5 million, the escapement goal reverts to an SEG of 370,000–900,000. ↩ | |
2 The newly established OEG for Wood River adds 15% of the preseason total run forecast to the upper end of the escapement goal in years where the total run is projected to be over 5 million.
