Battle Racers Duel Mechanics

Read the complete mechanics here!*

I. Format

1. 2-player Best-of-3 (with 2 AI players) Free-For-All Brackets
2. Single stage elimination (winner advances to next leg)
3. Round-winner is player with the higher finish (regardless of AI finish)

II. Self-Officiation and Scheduling

1. The tournament is self-run and will require players to schedule their duels with their seeded opponents on their own, via the Battle Racers tournament channels in the Playcheck Games Discord Server.
2. Each leg will have a dedicated schedule within which players can complete their duels.
3. Players are expected to report their final Best-of-3 scores in the same channel.
4. Duel results will be reflected in a Bracket Update at the end of each round.
   Uncompleted duels by a tournament leg’s end-date/time will forfeit both players’ participation or advancement from further legs in the tournament.
5. Players with non-present opponents can receive a bye for the current leg and automatically advance to the next should there be evidence provided of the opponent’s commitment and non-compliance to an agreed schedule.
6. The Battle Racers team reserves the right to adjudicate issues reported regarding scheduling as deemed necessary.

III. Registration, Eligibility, and Seeding
