Write me if you have any of the ones not listed. This will be a 32 car field.

Race format and scoring
This will be a single-elimination, 32 car field tournament. It will be a points style format. The car with the most points after 8 laps will move on. Cars will alternate lanes between each race.
The car that gets the most points in the final race will be declared the winner. Race host has final decision in all races.
Bracket seeding will be by qualifying positions.
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, we will contact to see if you would like us to try and do small repairs. If not, they will forfiet the round and may have an alternate to take it's place.
Prizes
To be determined.
