VII. Car Selection

A. Players can select any set of parts they own to make a car.

B. Players can change parts before joining a race (in the Garage, or during the race countdown).

VIII. Tournament Rules

A. Players, once seeded, will have to compete in a 3-race set of Free-For-All Battle Racers on Track 2, Fossefall Freeway, with the 3 other players in their seed table.

B. Empty slots, if any, will be filled in by an AI player, but will not count as a participant in terms of standing and results. For example, if they finish a race as 2nd place, the next human player will be deemed 2nd place in its stead, and so forth.

C. Players will take their podium places in the order seeded in the tournament bracket.

D. Players are allowed one practice game in Fossefall Freeway before their round starts, in their respective podiums. The results of this practice game will not count towards any points.

E. Player 1, in Podium 1, will initiate the race, giving players 2–4 30 seconds to join in. Failure to join within the allotted time will result in forfeiture unless the players or event marshal deems it a false start (false starts will not be counted and the race will be begun again).

F. Once the time to join the race has ended, the race will begin. The winner will be the first player (1st place) across the finish line by the end of the designated amount of laps (5).

G. Points will be awarded corresponding to a player’s resulting race placement.

• 1st place: 5 pts.
• 2nd place: 3 pts.
• 3rd place: 1 pt.
• 4th place: 0 pts.

H. At the end of 3 games (1 set), each player’s points for the set will be totaled and the player with the highest points is declared the winner.

I. The winner will advance to the next round.

J. In the event of a tie, a tiebreaker race will be played by the tied players separate from their previously played set. The 1st place player of this tiebreaker race will be declared the winner to advance.

K. Further round brackets will be seeded in order of bracket completion.

L. In the case of the final round, the 1st place Player will be crowned Tournament Champion, with the 2nd and 3rd place Players (that are not AI) winning their respective tournament prizes as well. There will be no separate race/round for 2nd/3rd place unless there is a tie in the tallied points in the final round.
