More of a earn back than a buy back......
Devil's advocate: Best losing package racer gets inserted back into the ladder to face a heads-up opponent that he's got covered. Explain to the guy that's won a number of rounds that he's got a heads-up race that he probably won't win... against somebody that just lost!
