A Re-Buy is a feature in Showdowns that allows participants to make a new entry for the Back Half of the competition. Here are the key points about Re-Buys:

• Purpose: They allow you to enter the Back Half of a Showdown, which consists of the last half of the total Races included in the event.
  
  
• Availability: Re-Buys can be made during the Re-Buy Period, which starts after the Buy-In Lockout and ends at the Re-Buy Lockout.
  
  
• Usage: To Re-Buy, you must make a Selection for each available Race in the Back Half of the Showdown.
  
  
• Timing: The Re-Buy Lockout occurs at or before the official scheduled start time of the first race in the Back Half of the Showdown.
  
  
• Cost: The Re-Buy Fee is predetermined for each Showdown.
  
  
• Limitations: Only one Re-Buy can be used per Showdown per player.
  
  

Re-Buys provide a strategic option for participants to either improve their position if they performed poorly in the Front Half, or to enter the competition if they missed the initial Buy-In period. They add an extra layer of engagement and opportunity to the Showdown format.
