​

DOUBLE ELIMINATION:  Double elimination applies for each class--Regular Class, Open Class and the Powder Puff Class.  You must lose twice to be eliminated from all competition.  If you lose your first race,  you will go to the elimination bracket.  However, with luck and skill, you can work your way back to the championship race.  The winning racer (the one who has not lost a race) will face the racer that battled back thru the elimination bracket in the championship.  At that point the racer from the elimination bracket would need to defeat the racer that had not lost twice to win it all (because of double elimination) – which has been known to happen.
