THE RULES
Ararat Prediction Game
HOW IT WORKS ⚽
- Before each match, you predict the final scoreline.
- After the match, everyone who predicted the exact score splits the player pool (after the 25% Bank cut).
- If nobody got it exact, players who guessed the right outcome split half the player pool.
- If nobody got even the outcome right, the Bank takes everything.
SCORING 🎯
| Tier | Condition | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| T1 | Exact Score | Full prize pool split equally |
| T2 | Correct Outcome | Half prize pool split equally |
| T3 | Nobody correct | All goes to the Bank |
THE BANK 🏦
The Bank is a virtual entity that always takes a 25% cut of the total pot. It never pays out. This keeps the game from being a pure zero-sum competition and prevents runaway compounding.
MATH EXAMPLE
3 players × 200 ֏ = 600 ֏ pot →
150 ֏ to Bank → 450 ֏ player pool
ENTRY & BALANCE 💰
- Every registered player is charged the entry fee (default 200 ֏) for every match, whether or not they predicted.
- Balances can go negative. There is no floor.
- Registration closes once a tournament's start time has passed.
- The dram are fake. No real money changes hands.
IMPORTANT NOTES ⚠️
- Settlement uses the score at 90 minutes + injury time only. Extra time and penalty shootouts are ignored.
- Predictions lock exactly at kickoff time. There is no grace period.
- If you don't submit by kickoff, you are DNF: you are still charged the entry, you cannot win, and your streak resets.
- Current streak resets to zero on any non-win (wrong outcome, missed result, or DNF).
