TOURNAMENT WAGERING SYSTEM

Make a wager on your race, and the other five racers will

match your bet. There are maximum and minimum limits to the

amount you are allowed to wager. If you cannot meet the min-

imum wager, you must go out and earn more credits through

Single Races, Cop Chases or Challenges.

If the listed bet is not one you want to make, use BACKSPACE

or DELETE to erase the default bet, and then type in the wager

you wish to make.

Half of the credits ponied up for each race in a tournament is

paid out to the top three finishers, and the other half goes

into the Tournament pot. The pot is paid to the driver with the

lowest cumulative racing time at the end of that Tournament.

• RACE MENU SINGLE RACE: You may only choose this option after you have purchased a vehicle in the Garage. Select a track, as in Practice. Place your wager, and beat your opponents.

TOURNAMENT RACE: You may only choose this option after you have purchased a vehicle. Choose the class in which you want to race, and which tour of that class in which you will race. You can upgrade your vehicle before each race.

At first, only the Class 1 Tournament is available. Cars in Classes 2 through 4 have higher performance and greater costs. When you have acquired enough credits and purchase a car in Class 2, 3 or 4, the respective tournaments are also opened to you.

COP CHASE: You may choose this feature only after you have purchased a vehicle in the Garage. Choose a police vehicle to drive in pursuit of the other drivers. Choose your course, and choose your mission. For the event, “Stop the Racers,” every racer has a “morale” bar shown above his car. Knock the morale bar down to zero by bumping into him to pull him over. Or, block him off, using your car as a barricade to stop his forward progress. For every racer you manage to cite, you will be rewarded with credits.

HOT TIP

If you are the cop, go after the fastest racer first, otherwise,

the others may slip past you.
