People buy tickets for the annual event to guess what day and time a tripod sitting on top of the frozen river will fall into the water as the ice melts. This is the first time since 2013 the ice classic had only one winner.
If no one chooses the exact time of the tripod falling into the water, the person who guesses the minute closest to the actual time wins.
