CREDIBILITY CHALLENGE

After first round, you can challenge the credibility of a builder to see if he or she is telling the truth about their submission.

A $200 fee, paid by the accuser, will have to be presented to the staff and a time will be allotted for you to prove he/she is not a builder. And for he/she to prove that they are.

If you, the accuser, cannot prove your case — that $200 is given to the accused and the race will continue. The challenged builder can keep that $200 or put it toward third place winner.

Basically — put your money where your mouth is if you want to accuse somebody on their credibility. If you don’t pay the money — we don’t want to hear about it.

FEES & PURSES

Payouts for builders will be 100%. payouts for non-builders will be 75%.
