Team that wins the third race wins the Open

Why is it in Open Playground Games instead of best two out of three, it always shows the winning team of the third round as the winner of the open

Your first races start in the middle of the game, it is hard to win from there, I think I did it once. Once you choose another car it starts for real.

It is best 2 out of 3. The only time it goes to round 3, though, is when it’s 1-1, so the winner of round 3 is always the overall winner.

It always goes goes to round 3 in Open Playground. You are probably thinking of the seasonal playlist games. Those are like you said

I have a similar issue in Open Racing. If I join in race 3 and win my total Open wins goes up. If I win race 1 (and don’t win series on points) then it doesn’t.
