Side games
The horse race, with a board the whole clubhouse can watch.
A side game is just another event with its own entrants, its own pools and — unless you choose otherwise — its own credit wallet. The settlement engine is identical; only where the result comes from changes.

Five teams left. The whole club is watching.

Set it up in a minute. Run it from the cart.
- 1
Create the race
Field size, number of holes, eliminations per hole, tie-break (chip-off or card), start time. Pick teams from the tournament field or add a fresh list.
- 2
Sell race credits
Members buy credits for the race pool at the table, separate from the main pools. Win pays the last team standing; Place and Show pay the top two and three. Optional "first eliminated" pool for fun.
- 3
Tap the eliminations
On each hole, tap the team that's out. The finishing order derives itself (last eliminated = first). Confirm the final order and the pools settle — ties and scratches handled.
Pools close at the shootout start time. No in-play wagering in this version; it's on the roadmap.
More games, same engine
Game types are data, not code.
A game type defines where the entrants come from, where the result comes from, which bet types are allowed and the default pool settings — so your club can add new games without waiting for a release.
| Game | Entrants | Result source | Pools |

Wallets
Race credits stay race credits.
Separate by default
Each side game gets its own wallet scope. Credits bought for the horse race can't drift into the Saturday Win pool, and vice versa.
Or shared, if you prefer
A club can enable a shared wallet so one balance covers everything. Either way, every movement is on the same ledger.
One cash-out
At the end of the tournament the cash-out desk shows each member's balance per wallet and in total. Mark paid once.
