# Race Rules

Clear communication of the rules is key to establishing a successful and fair race for all Pega.\
\
Read on to find out what to expect from beginning to end of a thrilling race in Pegalon.\
\
**Race Start**\
\
**\*** All Pegas start simultaneously at the starting line when the game counts "3, 2, 1, GO!"\
\
**Race Finish**\
\
**\*** A Pega that reaches the finish line after three laps counts as finishing the race.\
\
**\*** The time and position of the finishing Pega are updated and displayed immediately.\
\
**\*** After receiving the rewards, the player returns to the main menu.\
\
**Disconnection Cases**\
\
**\*** If a player disconnects during the start of the race, they can still reconnect and continue the race, but their Pega will be at the starting line.\
\
**\*** If a player disconnects during the race, their Pega will still be in the race and receive interactions from other elements (e.g., other Pegas, skills, items).\
\
Overall, these rules ensure that the race is fair and that disconnected players can still participate and receive their rewards.
