2.5 Tournaments
Tournaments are the core gameplay cycles of Trendex.
Each week, the game runs two tournaments, aligned with real football schedules. The exact format may evolve depending on match calendars.
Tournament Schedule
Midweek Tournament
Monday → Wednesday
Weekend Tournament
Friday → Sunday
How Snapshots Work
Unlike traditional fantasy games, snapshots are taken per player, not globally.
For each player in your squad:
A snapshot is taken when that player’s first real match of the tournament starts
The number of tokens you own at that exact moment is locked for the tournament
Any buy, sell, or activation after the snapshot does not count
Important rules:
Buying or activating a player after their first match has started will not include them
Token balances used for scoring remain fixed until the tournament ends
This ensures fairness and prevents last-minute adjustments.
How Tournaments Work (Flow)
You buy / hold Tokens
You activate them with Game Passes
Snapshot → squad is validated
Football games happen in real life (data feed)
Players get PlayerScores (0–100 range) based on real performance
Your SquadScore + Total Points are computed
SOL rewards are distributed
Reward Pool Mechanics
Each tournament uses a closed internal prize pool.
→ 10% of the Total reward pool is allocated to the reward pool for each tournament.
This allocation is fixed, skill changes who win, not how much SOL exists.

Leaderboards (Definition)
There are two independent leaderboards in each tournament:
Total Points leaderboard: Rewards the portfolios with the highest number of tokens × token performance. The more activated tokens you have on high-scoring players, the higher your rank.
SquadScore leaderboard: Rewards the squads with the highest weighted average player performance, regardless of how many tokens are activated. This reflects pure selection quality.
Data Sources
Player performance data uses external feeds for matches inside the tournament window. Scores are normalized on a 0 to 100 range.

Key Philosophy
Tournaments are intentionally short, so that:
skill matters every week
squads evolve fast
new players can enter without being crushed by early whales
Trendex isn’t a season-long fantasy. Trendex is a rolling competitive liquidity game.
