The fast saga race
Friday, June 25th, 2021
“1 race 2g buy in winner takes all” that’s how the first drag race in the fast saga started and in honor of fast 9 I wanna recreate that however I’m pretty sure none of us have 2g to spend on hot wheels so instead it’s going to be 1 tournament $2 dollar buy in winner takes half (or if you want to put in the pink slip to your car that works too) fast and furious cars are not required but highly encouraged

Race format and scoring
This will be a single-elimination tournament. A car will move on in the bracket only when it wins two races in a row. 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 random.
At the end the winner of the tournament will get half of the money and or cars
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
Winner takes half
Discussion
I'm game. I just want to clarify that Rules & restrictions states no weight limit g maximum weight, yet Penalties/DNF states cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales.
Do you want a Private message for Team info, or just the slip that is coming with the cars?
I think I'd be game for this! I have a couple I'd be willing to throw out there.
I would caution you, however, making a monetary prize. Some states consider this gambling as it would potentially be a game of chance rather than skill (because we have no actual bearing on the ability of the car to do well once you have it). In doing so, you could be breaking your own law or participants would be breaking their own state law. (Fits with the theme though lol)
