Tournament Rules

Seeding

• Players are admitted in order of registration, then placed into the bracket in a random order. This happens when the waiting room closes, or when the organizer starts the tournament manually.
• Dynamic bracket size is determined by the number of registered players when the waiting room closes. A minimum of four players is needed to seed a tournament.

Match flow

• Each match is a 60-second 1-v-1 trading challenge on an anonymous stock chart.
• Both players are served the same chart and trade independently at their own pace.
• Each player begins with a $500,000 account balance and tries to earn the most — or lose the least — to win the match.
• If your account balance reaches $0, you go bust and immediately lose the match.
• All open positions are automatically closed when the round timer expires, at the last price each player saw.
• Please practice in Solo mode before entering tournaments to become familiar with the controls.
• Entry: Free

Tiebreakers

A trade means one complete position, opened and closed — including a position closed automatically when the timer expires.

Match invitations

• When your round begins you are sent a match invitation and the system will pull you into a waiting screen.
• Your match starts as soon as both players reach the waiting screen. Neither player sees the chart until both are connected.
• If both players have not connected within 30 seconds, the invitation is re-sent. After three attempts the match is resolved without being played.

Disconnects and forfeits

• Your trades are recorded as you make them. If you disconnect after your match has started, your trades are kept and the match continues until the timer expires.
• If you reconnect before the timer expires, you can carry on trading.
• If a match never starts because only one player connected, the connected player advances and the other forfeits.
• If neither player connects, both forfeit. In a final match, the tournament ends with no champion.
