## Rules questions

### Do we draft betting tickets before each race or only once at the start?

You draft betting tickets before each race — players take turns drafting tickets (snake draft) prior to each race (pages 4, 16).

### Can I sneak one of my cards into the racing deck each race?

Yes — each race you may sneak one card into the deck to try to influence the outcome (page 11); setup also explains building the racing deck and dealing cards (page 14).

### If a mascot goes off the track or gets knocked out, is it disqualified and what happens to its place?

Yes — mascots that go off the track or are knocked out are disqualified; DQed mascots are placed on the podium in the order they were DQed and do not continue racing (pages 7, 25).

### Can a moving mascot knock another mascot over during a swerve/collision, and does that cause a DQ?

Yes — Swerve cards can cause lateral collisions that make stationary mascots fall, and mascots knocked out by collisions are handled as knockouts/ DQs under the knockout rules (pages 22, 25).

### When do we reshuffle the racing deck if it runs out mid-race?

When the deck runs out you reshuffle the discard pile to form a new deck and continue flipping cards for that race (page 24).

### Does the third race pay differently than the others?

Yes — the third race has a special double-payout rule: ticket payouts for that race are doubled (page 27).
