## **Training**:&#x20;

You play against a computer with randomly generated attributes. You can play without entry fees, without waiting, and without pressure, at any time.

## **Free play**:&#x20;

You play in an asynchronous 1v1. You race for free, but you may have to wait a bit for another opponent to join. You do not have to wait if it takes too long as the race will complete without you as well, but you won't be able to start a new race as long as the previous one hasn't started.

## **Tournament**:&#x20;

The gameplay is the same as in Free mode. However, you have to pay a small entry fee to participate. The winner of the race will take all the money, minus 5% that will be added to a weekly prize pool. You also gain points that will allow you to climb the ranks on the leaderboard. And every 7 days, the best player on the leaderboard wins the prize pool! (The prize pool can be sponsored by anyone to attract more players!)

The tournament mode is the heart of the game. The characteristics are simple:

* Win = 3 points
* Lose = 1 point
* Duration: 7 days
* The top player in the leaderboard wins the weekly prize pool!
