Official Rules
The basics for every free-to-enter challenge on GripCafe. Individual events may add specific rules.
Free to enter
All GripCafe challenges are free-to-enter. No purchase is required to join any event, and no entry fee is charged.
Skill-based scoring
Results are determined by skill-based performance — fastest lap time, highest drift score, best photo entry, or other objective metrics defined per event. Outcomes do not depend on chance.
Proof required
Every submission must include a screenshot or video clip as proof. Submissions without proof will not be accepted.
One entry per event
Each participant may submit one entry per event unless the event rules explicitly allow additional attempts. Only one approved submission counts toward the leaderboard.
Steward review required
All submissions are reviewed by a club steward or organizer before appearing on the verified leaderboard. Entries are checked for accuracy, rule compliance, and proof integrity.
Proof may be rejected
Organizers may reject submissions that contain edited, unverifiable, or rule-breaking proof. Decisions by the reviewing steward are final for that event.
Community rewards
Sponsored events may offer a community reward such as a gift card. Rewards are subject to eligibility, verification, and event rules. No cash payout is offered.
Void where prohibited
Participation is void where prohibited by law. It is the participant's responsibility to ensure compliance with local regulations.
These rules are provided for community clarity and are not legal advice. GripCafe is an unofficial, fan-made project.
