The Underground Gambling Ring
Basically the UGR is a weekly tournament made up of up to 11 racers, each from a different clan.
It takes place at 7pm gmt 2pm est, and consists of 3gps. People not taking part in the race are invited to bet on who they think will win (over the 3gps). Side bets can also be made on racers who you think will finish in any of these positions, 1st 2nd or 3rd ( does not need to be specified ). Racers must be submitted before 7pm gmt on Frday night, and bets can be placed up to 10 minutes before the race starts. If a racer fails to show bets placed on him or her will either be refunded or transfered to a substitute racer from the same clan.
Full rules hidden in this spoiler.

The UGR : Underground Gambling Ring
OPERATION STRUCTURE
The races are comprised of eleven racers, each representing a different clan. The final spot in the matches is reserved for a cameraman (representing the House) to record and upload video or snapshot evidence. Any person with an active account on MarioKartWii.com can place bets on who will win the race. Two separate scoreboards will be kept current: one for people with the most bet winnings; another for the amount of times each clan has won or lost in the UGR.
These gambling rounds will be implemented in the following phases:
A.) Racers can be submitted any time before 7pm on the Friday (24 hours before the UGR). Racers 'sign up' on this thread by posting the FC , mii name, and the clan they represent.
B.) During the next 24 hours bets can be placed on racers, simply by posting on this thread how much you wish to bet and on whom.
C.) On Saturdays at 7pm gmt 2pm est , a race of 3gps will be played, Voting is allowed, but repeats incur a 10 point penalty. It is highly recommended that participating racers enter the chatroom found at the UGR page of Gunslingers Clan's homesite to aid in the match's coordination.
D.) The results for both the winning/losing bets and the racers will be posted. A video of the race will be posted on youtube as confirmation.
