**How to Win**

The Naschair challenge is a double elimination tournament with a toilet bowl bracket for those who lose their first two matches. This guarantees three races for every entry.
The pusher will push the rider down “pit row” for the first 20 meters and then must release contact from the rider and chair. Lanes will be clearly marked through “pit row.”

Rule 4:
- The pusher will not cross the 20 meter marker. If the pusher crosses the 20 meter marker with any part of his or her body the team will be disqualified from the race.
Once the rider crosses the 20 meter marker the rider may propel him or herself using any appendage for the remaining 70 meters of the race. The full course is 90 meters long. The pit crew members will spot the driver as he or she races through the course.

Rule 5:
- The rider may not intentionally interfere with another chair. If a rider intentionally interferes with another rider the team will be disqualified.
- The pit crew may not intentionally or unintentionally interfere with another chair. If the pit crew insomuch as touches the opposing chair the team will be disqualified.
- The pit crew cannot make any contact with the chair that will increase the chair’s speed. If this does happen the team will be disqualified.

Enforcement of rules will be handled by a certified Naschair Official and will not be subject to appeal or public trial.

The winner is the first to cross the finish line in each heat without being disqualified.
