| Scenario | Who buys | Amount |
|---|---|---|

Rival-specific (pooled, not individual — goes toward a shared six-pack fund)
| Scenario | Pool effect |
|---|---|
| Pass the rival | +1 beer to pool |
| Rival passes them back | −1 beer. If it goes negative, barkeep sister clears the point ledger and gives them each a single free beer instead |
| Beat the rival outright (finish ahead overall) | +6 beers to pool (a full six-pack, flat) |
Race outcome
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| Win the race, car's fine | 1 beer each, split as a toast — kept deliberately small since it's "we did it," not a bender |
| Car detonates / retires / needs serious repair | Entire ledger voided — every owed beer, individual or pooled, converts to cash toward the repair fund instead |
