Race format and scoring

This will be a single-elimination tournament. A car will move on in the bracket only when it wins two out of three . Cars will alternate lanes between each race.

The car that wins the final race will be declared the winner. Race host has final decision in all races.

Bracket seeding will be in order of arrival at the track.

Penalties/DNF

Cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.

If a car fails to meet any of the restrictions listed above, the car will not qualify for victory. Offending cars will still race. Finish position and any prize will go to the runner-up in the case of the penalty car winning.

Cars that fail to run or fit on the track, or that happen to break during racing, will forfeit their matches. Cars that arrive broken will attempt to be minimally repaired before the racing begins. Cars that break during racing will not be repaired or replaced.

Prizes

Trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd and a 1st place prize pack from last year's winner ZIZZER PRIME!

Trophy for best in show judged by myself, Georgio of G-Force Racing and 2 Diecast Racing celebrity racers and hosts.
