    Awesome, and well written commentary!

    Now I just have to figure out what to do with all those credits, perhaps i'll re-invest on next years race.

    A possible ammendment: Deadheats should be very rare. On crossing the finish line racers on equal points are examined with a photo finish. A photo finish allows the tied racers one more dice roll to add a XX.x to their finished time. No modifiers (strengths or weaknesses) are used in a photo finish.

    e.g. Sideswipe is tied with another racer on 28 points after the race. Sideswipe's photo finish roll is produces a 4. Sideswipe's total changes to 28.4 points.

    I considered doing this, also just rolling the two toys with equal force and seeing which one ended ahead but that has it's own fairness issues

    I'll definitely build more onto this simplistic race model in future

    More like same time next year! With cup day only a month and some away I thought I'd give everyone a heads up that the Europe 2014 will be going ahead with a new course and some new racers. Keep and eye out in Rewind's Games Room for more updates!

    Unfortunately I'm gonna have to break this promise this year me-from-the-past. I was planning a far better 'game' where people could buy their own racers and customise them with their winnings but between moving and that troublesome life-stuff it looks like I will not have the time.

    Here's a quick summary of last years winnings which are still valid for use this year:

    Bartrim: 175 credits
    Trent: 175 credits
    Ultramarginal: 140 credits


    Like last year all other new (or broke) punters will recieve 50 credits to make their bets

    Glad to hear this is going ahead in 2014! Imo, simple works best and what was done in 2013 was perfect.

    Shameless plug: Perfect.. except reducing the % of dead heats that can occur at end of the final leg but you know my thoughts above
