Prize formula

Transparent from the first break.

Every entry goes into one prize pool. We take a flat 15% house fee, refund the runner-up their entry, and the rest goes to the champion. No hidden cuts.

  • Pot = entry stake × number of players
  • House fee = 15% of the pot
  • Runner-up = entry refunded
  • Champion = pot − fee − runner-up refund
Example · 1,000 entry × 8 players

Prize pool: 8,000

🏆 Champion5,800
Runner-up (refund)1,000
House fee (15%)1,200

Good to know

How edge cases are handled.

Byes

If the bracket has an odd player out for a round, that player waits briefly for a new entrant. If none joins in time, they advance automatically with a bye.

No-shows

If an opponent fails to appear or leaves, the present player is awarded the round and moves on — your time is never wasted.

Watch the finish

Knocked out? You can stay on the bracket screen and watch the remaining matches play out to crown the champion.
