2.5 Tournaments

Tournaments are the core cycles of The Trendex Game.

Every week, the game runs 2 tournaments:

Tournament	Period
Midweek Tournament	Monday → Thursday
Weekend Tournament	Thursday → Monday

Each tournament begins with a snapshot that freezes your active players and token amounts.

From that moment, your squad is locked until the next tournament.

The snapshot freezes:

• which players are activated

• how many tokens per player

• your multiplier tier(s)

How Tournaments Work (Flow)

1. You buy / hold Tokens

2. You activate them with Game Passes

3. Snapshot → squad is validated

4. Football games happen in real life (data feed)

5. Players get PlayerScores (0–100 range) based on real performance

6. Your SquadScore + Total Points are computed

7. 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.

Leaderboard	Share of Pool
Total Points	80%
SquadScore	20%

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.
