(under subclass 1) An electronic data processing application that includes a contest of speed commonly known as a race, wherein the contest requires the movement of an object, or representation (e.g., video, etc.) thereof, through a predetermined distance or defined course as fast as can be performed.
(1) Note. It is not a requirement, for placement herein, that there be a plurality of simultaneously raced objects. Distinguish this from propelled racing, below. It is merely a requirement that the game involve the movement of an object over a given distance against time as a contestant.
(2) Note. Racing against time or another moving object should be distinguished from a time limit for performing a move (e.g., a time limit for moving a chess piece). Only the former is classified herein. Similarly, the movement of an object over a distance versus time or another object should be distinguished from other tasks that do not require the movement of an object.
