There were, of course, all sorts of ground rules relating to obsticles in my room--the details of which are not important here, but rest assured that they are about as detailed as you would imagine.
I had seen the NCAA tournament at that point, so I understood 64 bracket tournaments and would set the cars up in them. Later, I had the idea to play entire seasons and playoffs with the cars--complete with divisions and records and tie-breakers and the like (I still have the records of all of those seasons at home. Lots and lots of paper).

This was one of the ways I wrestled MUSCLES. I had a little ring drawn on my desk and I would throw the two figures at one another. Whoever stayed in the ring was the winner. Ironically, this was one of the few things I didn't use in a bracket format. I played it more in a winner stays and is the reigning champion. I had records for the number of successful defenses.
