House Rules

Scoring

Every entrant drafts a portfolio from the same fantasy bankroll. Your score is the weighted percent return of your portfolio from the contest’s official lock prices to its official settle prices.

Official prices

Crypto: the median of 1-minute volume-weighted prices across at least two venues (Coinbase, Kraken and backups) for the lock and settle minutes. Venues more than 1% from the median are dropped. Stocks: the official opening or closing auction price, or the 1-minute VWAP for intraday times. Every official price is stored and shown on the contest results.

Ties

Tied entries split the combined prizes for the tied places equally. Any leftover cent goes to the earliest submitted entry.

Halts, splits and delistings

A halted or delisted asset settles at its last official price. Splits use split-adjusted prices.

Cancellations

Contests that do not reach their minimum entries by lock are cancelled and every entry fee and service fee is refunded. Guaranteed contests always run.
