Head Start
Prior to the Eliminator, contenders face Gladiators over a number of events, picking up points should they be successful. The point difference between the two contenders by the end of the last event is halved and converts to a time advantage resulting in a 0.5 second head start for each point lead. Should there be no points difference, then the contenders both start at the same time.
