Introducing Racing with Stakes!
Uplanders, it’s time to take racing to the next level! We are thrilled to unveil the next evolution of Upland's Racing Circuit: Racing with Stakes! This electrifying addition is set to revolutionize and amplify players' Upland Racing experience by enabling players to engage in exhilarating races for UPX against fellow Uplanders. It represents yet another remarkable milestone in the ongoing development of Upland Racing, providing a dynamic and competitive future for all.
Important Note: Make sure to update your Upland and Upland Racing mobile apps to the latest versions in order to enjoy the new Racing with Stakes feature. You can also access this feature on the web version of Upland Racing.
How Does it Work?
In order to participate in a Race with Stakes, race owners will need to set an UPX entry fee for their races, ranging anywhere from 0 to 100,000 UPX.
For a Race with Stakes to happen, there must be a minimum of 2 players (excluding AI). If a race organizer initiates the race alone, they will receive a full refund of their entry fee.
If a Race with Stakes starts with just two non-AI racers, the UPX prize pool will be distributed as follows:
- 1st Place will receive 70% of the UPX prize pool.
- 2nd Place will receive 30% of the UPX prize pool
For Races with Stakes with three or more players, the UPX distribution after the race is as follows:
- 1st Place will take home a roaring 50% of the UPX prize pool.
- 2nd Place will speed away with 30% of the UPX prize pool
- 3rd Place will cruise away with a respectable 20% of the UPX prize pool.
Note: The prize pool does not include Speedway Owner Fees and Community Fees.
If a Race with Stakes takes place on an Uplander’s Speedway Metaventure, the Speedway owner will receive a 5% share of the UPX from each Race with Stakes that took on their tracks. This will result in a slight adjustment to the prize pool for the top three finishers.
